Page 1 of Advice on a 42ish inch plasma

I`m looking to buy one of these with a max budget of 4k (if they lend it to me!)
As its a lot of dosh can anyone in the know recommend which is best. I`ve just seen the 42inch Sony for this price, the model with 3 scarts but not the newest with the black surround, but the picture didn`t look as good as Panny`s and Hitache`s I`ve seen.

Advice welcome, cheers.

Wait for the new panasonic pw6.Couild be pricey though which means the
Thpw5 42 shouild be going cheaper.This plasma is an award winner.The panasonics wins on picture quality.
