Boston PV500

Advantages: Super picture quality
Disadvantages: None I can think of

It is possible to connect a number of peripheral devices to the TV via it's 3 SCART connectors and front & rear mounted AV connections.

(Panasonic also offer Identical 37" and 42" plasma versions, which would suit the majority of people better, and the viera range is also available in LCD up to 32" although some features vary.) this set can be displayed in three ways, on the cabinet stand (pictured), wall mounted (You'll need a seperate wall bracket for this) or on a diamond shaped pedestal stand (A pedestal stand is like a "foot...
