[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Well.....the time for talking is finished......I've ordered it....£519.99.

Mrs Optimist used her Nectar card and went through to Dixon's via Nectar.com.....so this gave us 2076 nectar points as they are offering 4 per £ at the moment.....I think this is worth about another tenner.

So I think I've done a good deal.

You can be sure that next week somebody..... somewhere will be selling this television for £400.....Oh well that's life.

Shame its an inferior plasma panel

Only Plasmas I have seen which I thought were good were the late Pioneer ones.

I have seen some bad ones as well

Yes those Pioneer panels were very well thought of.

If plasma does it for you - splendid - as far as I'm concerned they're too heavy, run too hot and consume too much energy for me.

Agree there Steve.


Would they double up and allow 3D to be used via a suitable graphics card on a computer, would make a nice monitor for my bedroom and double as a tv.

LCD sets offer a great static picture Zulu...but they are very poor when it comes to dealing with movement.....that's my subjective opinion anyway...  :y

Overall....I feel that plasma is better. This television has received many excellent customer reviews.

The best price I've found is from Dixon's at £539.99 including free delivery.....But Mrs Optimist has looked on the internet and found a voucher code for £20 off....making it.....£519.99.

Can anybody get this model for less? Let me know...... I'm going to order it today.

Try this one...  You get a warantee worth the paper its printed on too...

I would certainly respect that Opti and am happy that you have been sorted out. 8-)

  Splendid.

I would not buy a plasma without getting a 5 year warranty.

I had 2 plasmas and they both died within 3 years of purchase -  the warranty paid off both times.

I don't like LCD so now have an LED backlit set which I'm pleased with. The 46" LED model consumes only a third of the power that the plasma did - so that also helps.

Proper LED is the ideal but still a few years off.

Just my views - but as this place is full of opinions then why not add mine also?

Good job its a superior plasma panel

Fixed that there for you.

Made it incorrect you mean, plasma is an inferior technology and the contrast story is a load of bull for real world viewing.

Bah, rubbish, plasma is far superior in "picture quality" IMO. I don't care about superior switching speeds and 50 gazillion to 1 contrast ratios or what ever the details are, the picture with LCD is, to my eyes, rubbish, not one of the top end lcd's looked right in the bigger sizes.....maybe my eyes only work with plasma perhaps? 
And afaict the new 3d tv's seem to be going with plasma koz LCD can't cope.  . (I haven't looked into that much tbh )
Anyway 4.2 inches  in the bedroom, 50 inch plasma in the lounge. 

Not sure what that has to do with TV.s but its a brave thing to admit in public Chris.
