    Best price for this model including delivery?

    Also, how much for the 55F8000 including delivery?

    which of the two would you recommend as better? will be using it solely for my vast Blu ray collection.

    I actually already have the 51F8500 plasma which I bought from PC world but am having fierce trouble with it.

    Hi Sam.

    Cheers for the post and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

    The PS51 is not a model that we sell currently. We did sell this model but due to slow sales and with not as good a performance as the Panasonic models, we took the decision to de-list it.

    We do keep the 55F8000 and it's priced at £1749.95 with delivery at £39.95 and comes with the 5 year guarantee.

    I personally would have the LED over the plasma as I didn't really like the 51" picture.

    The other option that you should seriously investigate is the Panasonic TXP50VT65 which won best TV of the year in What Hifi.

    Absolutely stunning picture and I would easily drop the 5" screen size for a better picture and a few less £'s.

    http://www.richersounds.com/search/txp50vt65

    It's priced at £1599.95 with delivery at £39.95 also.

    In actual fact it was the 55" that won the award but it's a bit more expensive at £1999.95.

    Let me know what you think.

    Happy new year.

    I would rather stick with Samsung to be honest as I like their active 3D.

    what can you recommend for me from Samsung on a budget of €2000? I would gladly purchase off you guys than PC world however I would need some deal on the postage - free postage? or a small discount on the set? 'boardsie' discount maybe?

    thanks"

    Sam,

    the 55F8000 is £1749.95 / €2159.99 so unfortunately it does blow the budget a little - the 55F7000 has most of the features of the F8000 and is within budget at £1599.95 / €1969.99 and we would include delivery in that price for the 55F7000 - however I agree with the other guys - the VT65 is a far superior TV and you really should have a look at that either in 50 or 55" format - dont just take our word for it - all the reviews of the VT65's have been universally positive.

    thanks again and keep us posted if we can assist,

    John Mc & Crew

    Ok, I have had really bad motion issues on my PS51F8500 (would you believe I have had 2 replacements since November!) so I am seriously considering the Panasonic 55 inch VT65 - is it a really good tv? I would only be using it for Blu-rays, and Smart TV - would Netflix work on it?

    How is the PQ ? Motion rate ?

    Also, what are the inputs like? I have a 5.1 Onkyo setup on the way to me from the UK.

    Anyway, I would defo be interested in buying the 55'' one for just under £2000 as quoted above to me if ye would be so kind as to include free delivery (the tv is quite expensive so this would be much appreciated - I am also a first time customer)

    Also, any warranty included? I know you guys include your own five yr warranty on some tvs in this price range

    Cheers!
    Sam

    Edit: Also, how would this stand up to the Sammy 55F8000 LED?

    Hi Sam, the Panasonic is simply stunning and blows the pants off the Samsung that you have been having the issues with.

    The motion processing rate is 3000Hz and it's simply the smoothest TV I'vs ever seen. The PQ is amazing.

    The connections are superb and wiring any Onkyo 5.1 into that will be no problem. HDMI (arc) with a single cable will work fine.

    Unfortunately the pricing on that TV is too tight to do free delivery and due to the weight and insurance needed, delivery would be £49.95.

    The Panasonic has a very different picture to the F8000 Samsung as it's a lot more natural and less processed. The Samsung is amazing also, but my money would be on the Pana.

    We have a 5 year warranty on that Panasonic which is an at-home warranty.

    Hope that helps but keep us posted.

    Whats the price in Euro for the 55'' VT65? Can I get you down to £30 on the delivery, please? I am on a tight budget with this one as the tv already costs quite a bit :)

    Thanks Dave.

    Hi Sam Mac.

    Total in euro for the 55VT65 would be 2469.99 Euro and I could drop the delivery to £30 which would work out at 37.00 Euro

    Let me know what you think :)
