167851 2003-08-14 14:33:00 You could try the Sony seconds store, they have factory seconds etc...

They probably have a list a mile long for Plasma seconds, but you could try...
From memory they are just off Khyber Pass.

A word of warning, do not go in to browse....you can end up with several large boxes in the middle of the lounge (this is from personal experience :) )

Does it have to be Sony, Phillips or Samsung?

The latest Tone magazine has a section on plasma screens and a number of alternate brands...LG etc

Enjoy

167852 2003-08-14 14:42:00 I'd be inclined to say don't get one. I think you'll be disappointed greatly if you purchase the cheapest plasma TV. Unless you're only after the hang on a wall aspect of it a good CRT (Loewe, Metz) will be much better. -=JM=- (16)

I agree,still early days for Plasma,wait a couple of years.
Still a toy for the rich at mo.
