I'm sorry to be a numpty as I'm sure this question as been asked 1,001 times before but.....

I want a Panasonic Plasma telly. I currently have an (old) Panasonic Plasma (five years old) which works perfectly, but I want HD.

I do know I want to stick with Panasonic and with plasma, but I'm undecided as to which one to go for:

Budget: around £700 - £900. My current one is 42", so maybe between 42" and 50". I watch mainly drama and films.

Any suggestions please.

Ah, OK.

Thanks for the relies (I think). The problem I have found in viewing TVs in the shops is they all are under artificial lights which to me changes everything.

I like Panasonic Plasmas.......

With hindsight I'd have just as well got an S20 because I don't really need the extra features of the G20, but never mind!
What features are those please?

OK, I like this one (it will either be plugged into a Sky or Freesat twin tuner hard driver HD box):

Is it a good buy? (I don't mean the price it is advertised on that link, I mean in general compared to other tellies).

Thanks.

See at a glance what you gain/lose depending on which you opt for.
Thanks PJ S, that is very helpful.

I'm not really bothered about getting my telly on-line (that's what my PC is for wink ). The only other real difference I can see is:

Contrast Ratio (in dark surroundings) 2,000,000:1 Native Infinite Black (5,000,000:1 Native)

What is the difference between these two figures in real life viewing?

I don't want a LG telly, thanks!

As far as I am concerned, the best manufacturer is Panasonic, and their best tellies are Plasma. I know I can buy a bigger but poorer telly for less money, but that's not what I am interested in.
