Panasonic Viera

[justplain]

are they available locally and where could I look ?
I'm looking at getting an LCD, 40" max and Full HD would be the ticket. now I know everyone is going to go on about Sammy's, sony, lg etc and rather get a plasma bla bla bla....I have mountains of info and model reviews at hand and I'd like to have a look at some Panasonic sets, does anybody know where I could have a look? Audio vision etc?
I live in CPT
thanks

Go to AudioVision at the V&A. They sell them and those TVs are awesome. I haven't seen those TVs in Canal Walk's branch.

As far as I know the biggest LCD Panasonic make is a 37'' which I don't think comes to SA. They are primarily a plasma manufacturer so you only get plasma's in the big sizes.

I have a Panasonic Viera and I am totally happy with it. It has tons of inputs too!! (hdmi, vga, rca) I bought mine at Audio Vision in Canal Walk.

When did you buy it? I've never seen those at that branch.

Why don't you get a plasma?

I bought it 2 weeks ago. I am pretty sure I saw quite a few unopened boxes in the store. You should ask them about it.

+1, LOL

Get plasma!

Also just check if Panasonic have sorted out their ownership issues and if they are actually back in SA permanently or not.

Hi,

Appearently, the Panasonic plasmas at Audio Vision were imported by Audio Vision directly from Japan (they bought a container). Panasonic SA isn't up an running yet, thats why other dealers don't stock Panasoinc at the moment. So your guarantee will be from Audio Vision, not Panasonic SA AFAIK.

I think the 42" HD Ready sets go for R10k, the Full HD is a bit more... I think the models are 42C10 and 42S10.

Cheers
Greg

When are panasonic set prices gonna be comparable to Samsung and LG

I've been waiting for more than 6 months already for Panasonic SA to get their act together to undercut the prices that audio vision sells their sets. A 42" HD ready LG or Samsung is selling for around R8k whilst Panasonic is selling at R10k, thats a 2k difference!!

The Panasonic plasmas are better screens - they cost more. AFAIk they are more expensive than LG/Samsung in the UK as well. The problem I have is that Audio Vision only have a few fairly low end models - the UK have a much bigger variety.
