anyone got or played with one of these? im thinking of buying one and would like to hear from honest owners.

Don't know if it's the same model, but a mate of mine has just had an NEC plasma installed at home.

He got it through a business contact who is "in the trade"

It apparantly the "next generation" of Plasmas, which will be out in retail land early next year.

It is JUST a plasma screen (No sound or tuner) but the quality is astounding.

I watched about half an hour of the footie on Sky on it yesterday, and all I can say is "Football on Big Plasmas in the hom is the future!"

I'll drop him an email to find out the model number to see if it is the same as the one you are looking at, but it is absolute quality.

just what i wanted to hear! i too am going to use my sky box and dvd surround sound player. NEC 42VP4.

saw a demo of one in a nearby store. not sure which model it was, but the picture was surely brilliant and matching and surpassing the brand models (Sony, Panasonic etc).

The store did however say that NEC were releasing new model very shortly, and were waiting on its delivery. May be worth finding out more info on it?

I asked my mate what model his new Plasma is.....

and I quote...

"Hi mate

It was great to see you all

I will sort dinner out for you before Christmas

The plasma is a 42vp4/42vp4d I think"

Word has it that Pioneer's new PDP434HDE and PDP504HDE units (43 & 50" respectively) are set to lay waste all in their path...

For the time being, Hitachi's 42PD3000 or Panasonic's PW6/PA20 series will kill everything for sheer cinematic impact, especially if your (DVD) source outputs a progressive type signal.

Trust me, I'm a Terminator...

thanks der, im eyeing up a sony 42" which seems to offer more, just like you said.
I like you choice in cars by the way!
so when you say you re a terminator, what do you mean?

I've had a Panasonic 42PW5 for a year and have been perfectly happy with it....until yesterday !! I went for an eyeball at the new Pioneer 43"...what an awesome piece of kit, picture definition is the bomb. The demo screen was running from a non-progressive scan DVD player and wasn't even using component video which is all the more impressive....gonna shutup now before someone accuses me of being a Pioneer sales dude.

Cannot comment on the new NEC but nothing came close to the Pany PWD last year. Got It installed just before last christmas and still think it better than others I've seen. Have SKY, DVD and a PC connected to it.
