    Hey,
    Just wondering will you guys be getting the VT50's in? Been talking about upgrading from our 40" Samsung for quite a while but decided to wait until we had bought a house, which has now happened :D. Initially I was going to go for a 50". But the sitting room is quite big.... so might be tempted to go 55" for that wee bit extra! Reviews on the TV seems pretty good too.

    Cheers!

    Hi Chris,

    Congrats on the house. :)

    We will indeed be getting the 50 VT50. Just waiting on a ETA and pricing. :) Not 100% on the 55" but I can check with our guys in England when they're open again after Easter.

    They look amazing!! Dual core processor and flash enabled for browsing is a great feature. The spec just gets better and better. Think the Panasonic high end range is gonna rule the roost again this year.

    Will hopefully have pricing soon. :)

    Chris

    Hi there.

    The price that I have on this is £1749 when purchased in-store.

    There is a new pricing policy from Panasonic that will apply to some models (VT being one of these) which means that the in-store price may actually be cheaper than the online price as they would prefer you to come into store to demo the product before you buy it.

    I have a rough ETA of the end of this month but Panasonic have yet to give us anything that is 100% concrete.

    Not sure how this fares compared to the competition but keep me posted if you have pricing from anywhere else.

    Thanks Dave, best price I've seen so far. Was debating whether to go for the VT and the GT 50. Probably will go for the VT. Lets just hope the cash holds out now, after all the furniture for the new house :p

    Which brings me to my next question. If we get the TV we'll be looking for a nice unit too. Do you guys do any nice wooden corner units for a 50" tv? Most corner units I've seen only go as far as 42. Don't fancy mounting it above the fireplace.

    Edit : By corner unit, I don't mean it has to be flush (fill) the corner, as that would be rather large! Just one that has angled corners so that it suits a corner.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for getting back to us.

    The VT is looking lush like. You'd be making alot of people jealous with a TV like that. The What HiFi review on the GT50 was fantastic. Can't wait to get the new range in here.

    We don't do alot in the way of wooden stands unfortunately. :( One of the closest stands would probably be this Alphason oval black glass stand priced at £129.95.

    Trying to find a picture online but proving hard.

    Best bet would probably be Ikea. :)

    Chris

    That's great news!
    I am very much in the market for one and will shout as soon as I am ready to order. Main thing I need to sort is transport big enough to carry the thing.
    I was going to buy via mail order from directtvs but would happily spin up the road to collect from you.

    Can you also stock this item:?
    http://www.directtvs.co.uk/Optimum_Coruna__Cadiz_Solid_Oak_Black_Finish_TV_Cabinet_-_Up_to_50_inch_CADIZ_BLACK_OAK/version.asp
    Or something similar?
    I want a low down closed stand to hide the AVR/UC box etc in.
    Cheers.

    Hi Leopardi.

    I have checked with our purchasing guys and the 65VT50 will be coming in shortly but in very small quantities.

    They are going to be £3599.95 and they will be special order for us due to the shortage on the stock.

    I hope this helps, but if you are interested, please let me know.

    Thanks for the reply, Dave. Leave it with me. That is certainly the best price I have heard of so far.
