Suggestion for Sticky Thread - Prices of Plasma's in Ireland

Maxwell

I among others on this site are looking to Purchase a 42" Plasma /LCD etc and I was thinking that it would be of great interest to people like me to be able to do up a price list of what is on offer for people here in Ireland - if we listed the 42" plasmas by price and location (shop location or web), then we could check the reviews of the ones in our price range and go from there

For example:
Poster A has €3,000 to spend, the following Plasma's are in his/her's range: abcdefghi

Poster B has €2,000 to spend, the following Plasma's are in his/her's range: abcdefghi

It means that if we could list what Plasma's are available in Ireland for the following:
=> €2000
=> €3,000
=> €4,000 etc

Have I really thought this through??? What do people think?

Okay I have an examples:

With my 2,000 approx, I can purchase the following:
PHILIPS 42PF9946 42' Plasma television for
€2379.00 in DID Electrical: http://www.didstore.com/estorepro/product_detail.asp?modelcode=42PF9946&catid=14
and for €2,599 in ESB stores:
http://www.esb.ie/retailasp/esb_shops/product1.asp?cat=20&subcat=9&prodcode=6271426

Straight away, users can see that they can save a certain amount by going to a different store for the same TV and will know whats in their price range.

Or again if you have approx 2k to spendm the following are available:

€2269
SAMSUNG PS42V4 42' Plasma television

The thread woiuld need much updating due to the constant pricing changing of plasma panels these days.

Not too fond of the Samsung. The speakers at the side make it look terrible (looks fine without them). Picture quality isn't too bad but not fantastic either (I guess you can't expect much for that price). IIRC, I think that has Picture In Picture also (using AV ports for the extra channels).
