gonna buy a tv in the morning and they have a LG 42" reduced from £1000 to £550, its 50,000-1 ratio

A Panasonic 42" reduced by £100 to £499 its a 15,000-1

Which is better?

Well the LG is more or less half price so i'd go for that. Mind, i'd book it online immediately, booked mine on xmas day last year but the only store which had it on was the currys on a trading estate near middlesbrough, ever tried getting a 42 inch tv in a peugeot 206 :evil:

Panasonic is a proper make.
LG (formerly Goldstar) is the Korean Philips: Jack of all trades, master of none.

I was nearly tempted by that LG thing this morning cos it seemed too good a deal to turn down, but I resisted when I remembered that Lucky Goldstar are fkin rubbish. :laugh:

I worked at Samsung in Billingham years ago and we made tv tubes for Samsung, Phillips, LG, Matsui, Sanyo and almost any other make you can think of. All the tubes were exactly the same apart they had a different sticker on!!

Exactly.

Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba etc., the proper makes, don't buy the joblot tubes.

I ended up getting the LG 42" for £550,

Once the sales bloke starts talking all technical i go into Homer Simpson mode and my mind starts to wander and i just buy whatever they say

I'm over the moon with it, it looks spot on
