And on a side note if the EU have their way Plasma TV will be banned. A discussion on this probably requires a new thread.

There's no chance they'll ban plasma's

When both screens are setup correctly you might find that Lcd's with their backlight that is constantly on use as much energy if not more than some plasma screens

Sometimes you've got take what you hear and read in the press and certain papers with a pinch of salt.

i have a 42" panasonic and its incredible! you can pick them up for less than £600 now which makes them unbeatable.. the pioneer is still the best by a country mile but there either stopping making tv's or are about to and are 4 times the price...

What's putting you off?
I have a Pioneer for a few years and it is the best display I have seen. Mind you I haven't seen B&O and don't know anything about them.
Many of the other makes are improving fast.
