Are these worth the money or cheap for a reason?

Look to me like a good buy for a 42" plasma screen that could be connected up to a PC or VGA Box to use as a TV.

Obviosuley with the low resolution won't be suitable for HD, but maybe OK for standard res TV and DVDs etc?

SD is all it;d be good for, and even then, 480 is NTSC resolution as opposed to PAL's 576.
Can't really see any use nowadays for it, other than cheap shop window display promoting their brands/sale items/etc

They are indeed a most excellent screen for SD content. The one advertised only has a VGA input, you can use this for VGA and you can also use this input for component via an adapter (and a option change in the menu). You can buy at extra cost of course terminal boards for these sets, you can get a SCART board that is fully RGB,s/video and composite video compatable, you can also get a component video board, there is a HDMI board avaialble to but they dont work with sky hd do a ebay search for Panasonic terminal board any that have a 6 or 7 in the model no will work with that set. Also there a speaker connections on the TV for you to connect up your own speakers. Depending on the hours used on these sets i would say its well worth it for £100.
