I do like the Bravia's, but the £100-£250+ premium they carry over other high quality TV makes them very hard to justify! :(
Agreed. But, I think it\'s just Europe where Sony is expensive.Quote:

You do get a SONY 3 year warranty with their televisions included in the price.Quote:

Panasonic offer a 5 year warranty. This may be with offline purchases only.Quote:

Can you imagine go into your local branch of Currys and ask them about delivering a 46" Plasma telly to Tokyo.
I think the main reason for the price difference is the very strong Yen and weak pound.
Yup - Panasonic paid to have exclusivity of this tech for a set period. Strange really. If I was Freesat I would try to get their service as an industry standard as quick as possible.Quote:
