Howdy Keyser. We bought the Panny TH42PX80 a couple of weeks back and we're very happy with it. I was contemplating a Full HD set but after a bit of research and demoing (is that a word?) a few we didn't feel we'd gain much more.
We got ours from John Lewis who price matched sound & vision at £650 and they included a 5 yr guarantee so it was good news all round

. So I'd definitely recommend the Panny but I'd take a Blu-ray to town with you and try a few tv's out to see for yourself
