Page 1 of 32" Widescreens

I want to buy a TV as above, and have almost decided on the Philips 9616. One of my concerns is that this model is now `mature` and don`t want to buy (at full price anyway!) just as new models are being released.

Does anyone know anything about Philips` plans for new models?

Also, Panasonic has released the TX32PG50, has anyone heard how good this model is, or seen one?

Thanks

Haven`t seen anything about the Panasonic model you mention, but have seen, and read the reviews, of the PK20, and its the best 100 Hz set I`ve seen so far. Bit limited on features, but the picture is superb.

Mick have you even seen or heard a high-end Philips in action let
alone witnessed what it is meant to do. Read un-biased reviews
on features, looks, sound reproduction,,,
As well as all this it does what it is built to do flawlessly. I am
still amazed at what i see sometimes 8 months later.
Solid set.
Besides plasma screens Philips and Toshiba sets.Yes my friend!!!

i got a phillips32"pw9536c 100hz pure flat last week its f***king brill. took me a while too get everything set up the way that suits me and and i am still trying different things depending on what i am watchin, dvd ,sat or just steam telly but the picture and sound qquality are awesome.Not cheap at£1600 list price but i got it ask a pack with a 958dvdplayer and a vr766 video no deposit 10 months intrest free total price £1900

what a steal

Cinemanomore,

Sound quality, etc. of a TV is not an issue for me as all my sound goes via an external Dolby Digital/DTS amp, so I don`t need it built in to the set. Plain nicam is sufficient. Therefore I was looking solely on picture quality, not features. The Panny has also had rave reviews and has great build quality.

I saw the Philips 329616 next to the PK20. Also the latest Toshiba and was able to play around with all three. I already have a Toshiba W/S and was expecting great things of the latest model, but was really disappointed with it. The picture looked processed however you altered it. (Not as bad as a JVC model also on display, though).

I`m not usually a fan of 100 Hz sets, but I personally found the Panny to be the best example I`ve seen and preferable to either of the others, but that`s just my view. We all see differently.

If I was Barton, I`d make sure I had a good look at all the sets I was interested in, using the various reviews, and opinions offered, as a guide, and would then choose the one that suited me best, be it for picture quality, or features, or both. I certainly wouldn`t buy a TV based solely on reviews and/or opinions alone.
