Panasonic TV codes

[fulham911club]

Want to get the kids a TV for their play-room. To be used for watching TV / DvDs & games.

Have seen the following 50 inch Panasonics at the same price (about £550).

TXP50S30B
TXP50G30B

What is the difference?!!

Which should I get??

Should I get something else?

Many thanks

S is the basic range of plasma, G is the next range up. Then you go GT (same technology but 3D) and VT which has a better display panel and a few other features, and is 3D.

The G range is the best you can get in the Panasonic range without going to 3D. Very good TVs, potentially the best non 3D set on the market.

I have a 50VT and it's bloomin marvellous!

ETA: I think there are actually more basic models than the S range, but I don't know the details of those.

Essentially, the G range gives you:

High contrast filter
Infinite black (blacker blacks)
THX mode
isf mode
USB HDD recording
More HDMI and USB sockets

I've added some more info above!

I also have a 42GT upstairs, I can't see any difference between the two!
