Phillips Plasma model: 42PF5320/10 Worth getting??

skibum · 2006-09-21 23:52:29

Hi, just been offered a new unused Phillips plasma tv (model 42PF5320/10 ) at a very good price (roughly half the best retail price I can find on line :D ), full warranty receipt etc. Just wondering if it is any good. I know it's not HD ready but we don't have or intend getting sky digital etc. Thanks in advance for any…

The one I've been offered will have a full warrenty so I'm not too worried about that, luck of the draw and all that.
Apart from the breakdown, were you happy enough with it, picture quality, sound etc??
would you give it the thumbs up or down?

Set it up last night, very impressed with it
It is BIG..
BUT the "better half" thinks it is too big for the room, so I suggested that we get a unit built in front of the fire (which comes out at an angle from the corner of the room). But she says how will we light the fire?*

*In the 10 years we have been living together, we have never lit a fire !!:rolleyes:

So it looks like it's going back.....:o

She's just had a complete sh1t fit....
it's gone...
And that useless unlit (unlikely to be ever lit..) fireplace is not been blocked by a tv unit because it is a "feature" of the room?????
