It's not HD Ready but I'm happy with the PQ .. what the cheapest price on a Panasonic PV500 ?

edit: If you are taking about this one at twice the price then you are comparing apples and oranges :rolleyes:

Ripped Off

Be very careful with German online retailers

some don't accept credit card - it's the German way alright but leaves you with no comebacks if you transfer money direct to their bank account

plus there's a big language barrier - difficult if things go wrong - how can you argue with them??

DO NOT USE KATRONICS - see link

www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=201889&highlight=katronics

unless you want to lose your money

always read extensively on the retailer - reviews etc
eg a google for : Katronics fraud
and a read of the stories you find there would have alerted you to avoid them

Cooee

Just bought from these guys www.technikdirekt.de - they take credit cards...
Researched them on boards and avforums, only good feedback so far.

worth a look - prices on plasmas good, altho lcds look expensive.

www.komplett.ie worth a look also
