Panasonic TV's X, G, S?

[.Mark]

Try as I might I really can't figure the difference. Have looked for a comparison tool but can't seem to find one. Can anyone give me an overview of what the differences are likely to be?
It seems I can get LCD or Plasma, in 42" but as above there are X, G, S versions.

X is 720p
G is 1080p
S is a G without the Freesat Tuner.

I got the S10 42" as I didn't need the Freesat tuner. Been very, very pleased with it for the money!

Also got the S. Extremely happy with it although there are times i'd wish i'd got the freesat tuner though.
Although i expect built in Freeview HD would be the way forward sooner or later.

Thanks

So the G with the new Freeview/Freesat HD tuner built in would be the way to go then?

[Plotloss]

V adds the Kuro engine plus some other bits (this is what we generally recommend) over and above the G

If you can be assed with freesat (e.g putting a satallite dish on the side of the house) then go or it.

Freeview HD will only require your normal TV aerial although wont give as many HD channels and its not built into any of the current models yet as far as I'm aware.

Ah - forgot V. So is that the Daddy? Only buy a TV once in a blue moon so may as well get the best.

Any advise on where to buy? Amazon looks quite cheap

No, there won't be a dish going up, Freeview HD will do when it comes to my area. I'm guessing the HD tuner will work with SD until then.

Not a great TV watcher TBH, more movies on Blueray etc.

There is also a VT and no doubt a C and a D if you buy from currys

There isn't a 42VT20 is there?

[i'm no superhero]

[pedant]Look out for the number of HDMI sockets as well, IIRC there are differences between the G and S. Just if you're thinking of having a Blu-Ray, Sky+, XBox and PS3 or whatever.[/pedant]

S has got Freeview HD tuner in also. Plus dont forget that Panasonic have dropped VGA in on all X and S models

[only me]

Am I right I'm thinking that the V 20 series is not yet available ? and when it is do you think it will be priced similar to the v 10b range ?.

Am looking for a replacement for my 4 year old panasonic 42 inch with a new 50 inch

Sry no, I was consentrating on the confusing muddle of model letters, I didnt think too much about the screen size. Apologies to the op.

No worries - still damn confused myself. I think I'll be going for a 42" V model.
