RE: OT £2500 for a Plasma

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Now, this may be a *really stupid* question, (you can berate me publicly if
so), but I'm gonna ask it anyway...

Is that Panasonic TH-42PHD5 widescreen?

If so, how does the 1024x768 ratio work? - I thought that resolution
was for a standard 4:3 ratio

How does it have that as it's native panel resolution, and be a widescreen
display?
