I cancelled my 42" Viera (but looks like I wouldn't of got it anyway) after I demo'd it the other day I was glad I did.

The only TV that I've been impressed with (for reasonable money) recently was a 32" phillips cineos. There's also a 40" sony that is 1080 and that was very good (poss the one you spoke of)

Would of gone for the 37" cineos but didn't think it was as good as the 32"

I ended up with a 37" toshiba wlt66, gets pretty good reviews.

Had a fair play with it, took a dvd in to play, played xbox360..

I thought it was a bit grainy, also colour seemed washed out. I checked the settings and the colour levels were high so didn't hold much hope for it looking fresh after a couple of years.

People say you need to be viewing a 42" from 10 foot plus but I'm a fussy begger and don't see why it should look crap 5 foot away.

I haven't seen anything above 32" that I've been really impressed with apart from stuff that's £2k.

The toshiba I bought has a brilliant picture on dvd, the viera I tried looked awful in comparrison.
