edit: forgot to mention the most important thing: Go an view your panels before you buy, and buy the panel YOU prefer. I can't stress that enough. (Make sure you are comparing like for like - that the source to all 3 panels is identical.)
It annoyed the crap out of me when I was looking for an HDTV that most shops had them hooked up to a really crap picture. I was suprised that Curries seemed to have the best setup, and ended up getting about the best price from them too. I know someone who went TV shopping with his PS3 and got them to plug it in to the TVs he was looking at so he could compare the picture from a single source.

Sorry Norts, but having the knowledge without comprehending it, is like making an apple tart, but not having an oven to bake it in.
If you understood what you've read/learnt, you'd know aside from a select few LCD's, the rest of what's on the market doesn't equal Plasma, let alone exceed it.
Samsung are mediocre TV's at the best of time, but as you probably have one, it's natural for you to offer it as the best thing since sliced bread - unfortunately that's not the reality though.
If mediocre means innumerous 5-Star / Highly Recommended / Editors Choice awards throughout the AV media, then I'm all for lashings of mediocre.

Samsung and Sony Products, Samsung are now the Biggest sellers with about 35% of market share
So the Advertising departments of the UK media dont want them upset as they spend so much in
advertising. One interesting fact in the firm I work for there are 12 sales staff and everyone owns a plasma as the primary set at home. Don't forget that in most high street stores the lighting levels are about 20 times what you have at home, and at this intensity it really favours LCD technology the plasma sets look hopelessly washed out, but when veiwed in a normal room lighting level the Plasma literally walks all over any LCD.
The JVC 47DV1 is a real sleeper having a truely stunning Picture when set up and optimized properly
and it quietly ensnares people who can use their own judgement not the warped veiws of a hack reporter
who probably wouldn't know how to set up a TV if their life depended on it!
But the defacto choice is the Panasonic TX-P46G10/G15 set it's a real stunner and ticks all the
boxes

I have a plasma on my wall, have done for years.
I'm open-minded as to what to buy next.
As it turns out, I'm most probably going to go with the Panny 46" G10. I stand to save a fair bit of money over either of the Sammys, and as I intend to drive my media viewing via a PS3, I've decided that I don't really need the dlna functionality at all. I've just been over to Selfridges yet again, to check both out and I think I actually like the G10 better - strangely I like it a lot more than the G15.
I've added the AVR1910 into the amp selection. I've added the Monitor Audio R270 HD10 package for the surround speakers.
It will soon be time to purchase
