General Comments

Although the Panasonic TH-42PW4B screens are a bit old now we still use them 5 years on and they seem to last forever as they have lost no screen quality. You can pick them up on ebay now for around 3-400 pound (usually including wall bracket) which is about 3k less than they cost

Obviously they are not HD but still a great buy second hand to use as a tv till HD is fully implemented. We have 3 that we use when we make stands for clients at exhibitions and hire from a shop if we need any extra

One point to mention is the side speakers can cost more than a second hand display. The amplifiers are built in so you can use any old speakers with them and control sound from your remote.

Another good point is how hard it is to incure screen burn on these units
Other older plasma makes are very prone to this problem and once that have it its very hard if not impossible to get rid of. Although if you act fast you can get rid of it.
