RE: Recommendations for Plasma TV...

["Phillip Harris" <phil@xxxxxxx>]

Gotta agree with Tim on this because he's right ...

...not wanting to sound patronising but so far I've played with a lot
or
plasmas and the only manufacturer that I would consider buying for
myself would be Panasonic. Sony have a nice 37" panel out but it's
still
not as good as the Panny yet.
