My Plamsa decision hell!

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxx>]

Well, I said I'd keep you posted on progress.  For the full story of m= y
decision-making hell, refer to my various threads on the excellent
www.avforums.com, however, for the condensed version:

1. Panny/Pio/Panny/Pio etc etc.  Finally decided on Pio for practicali= ty
reasons.
2. Nobody has stock of the Pio, unless I want to pay =A35k for the privileg= e.
RS can't commit to a delivery date, but will sell for <=A34k.  JL l= ikewise,
plus they won't match anyone that doesn't have stock.
3. Another few hours spent researching screens
4. Now decided on the Panny, with the TU-PT600 tuner, again, for the same connectivity issues previously discussed.  I'm reliably informed that = the
new Panny receiver box is a lot better than the previous effort (direct
pass-through of component inputs for eg).  Anyone disagree? Tim?

My original plan (well, plan 14b) was to get the Panny screen with the RCA<= BR> terminal board, and connect everything via my amp (i.e. s-video) apart from=
the DVD, which would connect on the components.  However, the screen apparently doesn't support both inputs at the same time (grrrr), so that's<= BR> scuppered, hence my new decision to take the receiver box.

I tells ya, it's a minefield out there!  I'm off to haggle with RS at = 10
(and to buy the Limit DVD player), so I'll let you know.  My 36" = TV goes
this weekend, so it's back to a 14" until the plasma arrives :-(
