Good buy? ( quick answers needed, panny plasma)

[okgo]

Hi all,

Can get my hands on a TXP42-S10 that's 6 months old for £350 is that a good deal, and would it be a worthy upgrade to my TH37PX80??

Thanks in advance!

It'll be bigger and marginally better PQ, whether it's a good buy however depends on your own concept of value.

What do you think value wise?

And is it a good set in its own right? I always thought I should have got the 42 inch in the first place, so that is my motivation.

It's a pretty decent price for a previous generation model, and does give you the 1080p native resolution - useful if you sit 5' from the screen, but if not, then nothing has been gained on that front.
Marginally better processing of the image, and better contrast ratio, but for not a whole lot more, you could be sitting in front of a 42X20 - latest gen, much improved CR, and improved processing engine.

£350 vs £500 - up to you to decide if the former wins over the latter.

Going to leave it based on the above.

Thanks
