Advice please

My dad wants me to sort him out a 37" TV. He's decided that 32" isnt
big enough and 42" is too much. He's probably right on that given the
size of his living room.

I personally am a panasonic fan, so I'm playing the TH37PX60 against
the newer TH37PX600

Everything I have heard about these sets is positive. But is the newer
'600' model worth the extra couple of hundred quid?

Personally I would say no. I have the 42" PX60. The sound quality is
fine. The memory slot may be useful - but probably not. Having PIP
would be nice - but unless that floats your boat, don't go there.If it
were £75 then maybe...but not over £200.

And would anyone like to recommend something they consider better?

Nope - especially at those prices! Shame you cant have the 42" - Ive
seen that for near enough your cheapest price on that link! (ie £25
more!) To be honest, I now wished Id bought the 50". You soon get used
to the size and unless the room size is particularly small, I doubt 5
diagonal inches would make that much difference.

My only regret was not waiting - and getting it for half the price I
paid. But its not really a regret. I love the damn thing!

Dad wouldn't have a use for PinP unless he could watch one sky channel
in one window and another sky channel in the main picture, and I
presume that isnt possible.

He's going deaf too, so it sounds to me like the 60 is perfectly
adequate.

Thanks for your message. I've been reading on the AV forums about
"running the set in" for a couple of hundred hours. What's all this
about then?
