Re: Televisions

Good point Frankie, I believe Plasma does Black very well. I was in DID today, they had a Panasonic 50" Plasma for 899 with a DVD player as well. It was big, 50" is a bit too big even if it is great value. At least I thought it was good value (open to correction if somebody else knows bett...

Televisions

Hi Chaps, I was in town the other day, browsing around eventually arrived at the Sony Center window. They had on display a 46" LCD unit for 899E. It was a discontinued model, but still very recent. It was not a one off, they had several more still in boxes upstairs. If you traded in your old TV...
