A New Widescreen TV - it`s a 3-way fight!

Am in the mood for getting a new widescreen telly (budget £600)
I`ve narrowed it down to 3 choices:-
Panasonic tx32dk1 - reviews on this site say it`s real good!
Toshiba 28z07b - I`ve got a 210e and am interested in utilising the component inputs
Philips 32PW6006 - good price for a 32" and reputation for great picture.
Sound is not really an issue as I`m putting the lot through a receiver and Mission cinema 72s.
Also could you suggest the cheapest place to purchase your choice...
Please stake your claims and let me your opinions of who should win.
Many thanks

Simon

I`ve got the Toshiba and a Sony 735 conected to the component input, the picture is perfect. I`ve had the TV for a year and it does everything i wanted from a tv so no complaints.

The Philips is also getting a reputation for a tube that goes faulty after about 18 months!

Look at the Tosh and Panasonic, I would go for the Pananasonic but only on personal taste, buy either and you have made a good choice, take a women with you and ask her to choose between the two, there good at that sort of thing.

Thanks for the advice boys, I see from previous threads that the Panny was at qed-uk for £512 approx, but am struggling to find it that cheap now.
Any ideas as to where to get the best tv deals from?
I have looked at unbeatable, qed, empiredirect, and hed to name but a few.
I thought the Philips tubes were reliable?
Must admit that the Panny looks less of a grey box but am intrigued by just how good the picture quality is on Tosh with component inputs as opposed to RGB scart.
Get back to me with those web addresses, thanks
