Hi,

I'm looking to buy Panasonic Plasma TH-42PZ700 and was wondering if there is any differences (quality wise) between the US and the UK models? Which one should I go with regardless of the price.

I read somewhere that the one which ends with an E (i'm not actually sure if this is the same as the UK model) doesn't really play 1080p resolution. Here is a quote from the review I read: "OK guys ignore the blurb about this being a 'full HD' Its full HD with SEVERE restrictions.

I bought this TV yesterday and I thought I was in a pretty neat position since I've got 2 products capable of 1080P - an xbox 360 and PC with latest graphics card.

Got a new PC with top notch graphics card? Yes? and want to stream 1080p through the vga? Yes? - No its 1024x768 for you.

OK, so assume you then sell your 'old' xbox 360 for a new PS3 then everythings 1080P right? No, not if you want picture in picture, then its down to what looks like 480i !!!

I can see why Americans (with 480 resolution) are happy with this TV. If you're European and looking for a TV that shows great improvement over your standard TV, then this isn't it. This is way too much money to pay for a TV that in many cases is no better than a standard European TV's resolution."

So is this true?????

And by the way, I don't live in niether of those countries so it doesn't matter to me as long as there is no difference in quality.

This of course is very important to me for both Xbox 360 and PS3 picture qualities.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you guys for your inputs.

I've tried my Xbox & PS2 on a Panasonic Plasma and also on a 26" Sony Bravia. Honestly, the Plasma was far more superior than the LCD, but I don't know if that would be the same with the XBR.

Everyone says that LCD is better than Plasma, but I don't know about that at least from what I've seen.

Anyway, I might consider bruce-leroy thought and wait for the 1080p Plasmas. I bet they're gonna be awsome.

I'm pretty sure this question has been asked like 1000's times but the stupid search engine doesn't work here at all (is it just me or what?).

Anyway, I'd really like to know your opinions on which is the Best TV for PS3. I don't want just general info like: "any 1080P would work", I'm looking for the Best Picture Quality (color, brightness, clarity, etc..).

 I heard that Sony & Samsung are best, but really which is THE BEST where you don't have adjust anything after you buy?

What about Panasonic TV's?

 Thank you
