    Hi,  I'm hoping to replace my old Panny 42PX70 but I'm unsure if i should make the switch to LED or should i stay with Plasma.  My plan is to move to a 55 inch,  mainly using Sky but hopefully santa will bring a PS4  so i need something with a decent refresh rate. 

    I've narrowed it down to these models but i'm open to suggestions

    TX-L55ET60B

    TX-L55DT65B

    TX-P55ST60B

    What do you think?   would you suggest a different brand (LG, Samsung, Sony)

    Thanks
    Pierre

    Thanks John, have my heart set on a Panasonic but I'll check out the LG,  is the any Samsung's models worth looking at?

    Do all the Panasonic still have 5 year warrenty if they are purchased online?

    Hi MPJones, there are a few Samsung models worth looking at.

    The best value is in the Samsung UE55F7000 which is £1799.95.

    This is actually similar spec to the LG that John mentioned (on paper) although the Samsung does offer better performance and some additional bells and whistles such as Freesat, on board camera etc etc.

    The Samsung UE55F6500 is also a very decent TV and this is priced at £1149 although compared to the Panasonic and the LG, I would rate this a very good third.

    The LG is certainly the best specification for the money although the Panasonic models are brilliant also.

    The Panasonic models do come with a 5 year warranty.

    Hope this helps.

    Sorry to hijack the thread but what about the Sony 55W905? Seems to get some cracking reviews around and is priced around the Samsung?

    Just a question on 5 year warranties, Have been told that all TVs even one with a 1 year warranty really has at least 3 years European standard warranty, Is this true? 
    Thanks

    Hi Parker, I was asked this a while ago and when I went looking, I cannot find anything to say that this is part of UK law as the sale of goods act covers this.

    It was a European suggestion that manufacturers should offer a 2 year warranty as standard.

    Some of the manufacturers like Yamaha, Denon, Marantz etc have already made this move but some have not. Eg. Panasonic currently only offer a 1 year warranty. 

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks
