if you go for the LZD80, it should be cheaper as it doesnt have freesat HD built in ;)


The 81 series are ok, no 100hz in your set so the LZD800 is a much better picture, also the built-in freesat HD isnt as good a picture as an external box.
Also the 800 had 4x HDMI as opposed to 3 on the 81

isnt the LZD800 from the brand new range?..

when i got mine the neither the 80 or 81 had 100hz..the 85 did though :(

You obviously havnt looked-into TVs as much as you think mate!

This is not true at all, plasma TV's are just as energy efficient as LCDs, sometimes more depending on what your watching.
LCD requires a constant backlight to illuminate the screen whereas plasma cells require a single ignition to illuminate the pixel, so if your watching a darker film then the plasma will use much less power.

Panasonic TX37LZD800 would be my choice, full HD and 100hz MPP2
Very nice set with a superb picture, id steer clear of Samsungs tbh.. :thumbs:


Im no expert in TVs, but alot of people on forums like AVforum seem to be and a everyone says that a plasma uses a huge amount more then a LCD.

The specs they show you clearly shows this aswell

Panasonic Viera picture is stunning :D
I'm led to believe that a lot brands use Samsung screens in thier TV's, Sony being one of them.

i would probably say Sony as this is what im getting, ive done alot of looking about on tv forums and the most popular are sony and panosonic, im not a great fan of plasmas and they use a hell of alot of energy over the year, more then twice the amount of a LCD, so im going for a sony.

Samsung was an alternative, but some of them dont swivel on the stand and they dont turn off, you can only put them into standby mode.

But not sure what to look for and whats good and not.

Thinking about the SAMSUNG LE37A556P which is £569

Any better ideas or experiences with this sort of tv?

Thanks:thumbs:
