Lets talk LG

[JumboBeef]

I love Panasonic, but after my S20 going bang after two months and now it seems that the S20 and G20 are now end of line, I am considering an LG.

What can I buy for around £600? I generally watch dramas and films in HD (Sky) and it must be 42" at least.

Thanks.

What does "end of line" mean? Are they inferior in some way to the models that were "middle of the line"

[JumboBeef]

It means I am struggling to find any in stock anywhere with a 5 year warranty (I really want a S20 not a G20).

Aha, I see. Why do you want an S20 over a G20? I had a look on Google just now and there are loads and loads of places selling both S & G20's, many with 5 year warranties.

Actually, having delved a bit further, what they have for sale and what they can actually deliver appear to be very different....

Whereabouts are you? CostCo in Enfield had them in stock before Xmas, for low price and 5 year warranty.

Dixons appear to have both in stock online

I like the S20, it is good enough for me.

I'm in Scotland.

I thought Dixons only did 12 months warranty....?

[JumboBeef]

Richer Sounds are pick up only, and none in Scotland.

I awlays wanted to like LG, however about 3 years ago or so I was working for a firm that moved offices, in this move they brought all new TV's. Several hundred, ranging from smaller 2x" to over 50".

When I left the company over half of them (various models and screen sizes) had been replaced due to faults. Some had been replaced or repaired 2 or 3 times.

On this first hand evidence I personally would not buy an LG.

I recently bought an LG 50 PK590 for playing games on. I am new to the brand, having previously had fairly high end toys in my games room. It was bought for £649 from Richer Sounds as an alternative to running my costly projector which was being used for TV as well as film. I am very impressed with it so far. I bought the 5 year warranty for £64 too as if they cannot repair it, they replace it like for like.

The TV has digital HDfreeview on board too and it features THX certification on film mode all as standard. The same spec Panny would have cost be about a £1200 so I thought I would give it a whirl. Having always owned Matsusta products over the last 25 years it has a lot to prove. I am hoping that this will live up to the test of time and so far, so good. It's my fourth plasma, all the others have been from Panasonic
