Also please share the 'aspect' selection you have done on your TV. I am curious to know how the RGYB buttons are used. Thanks.
Shaju - i posted this earlier - try this Panasonic TH42PX80 Best Settings After Calibration - i did the same but in eco (CATS) mode on the pv80.

Wow. The snaps look pretty good. I am sure DVDs look even better. I tested out this 42PG61UR model at the LG brand shop here with Toy Story / Finding Nemo / Monsters Inc DVDs which were all in 1.78:1 aspect ratio - meaning in 16:9 mode these DVDs filled up the screen with perfect proportions. They looked amazing.

If it's 42 inch I would probably go in for the LG PG61. But if it's 50 inch, then Panasonic would be the one. The LG is too expensive - brand shop here is quoting 118k as the best price. I think the Panasonic then is a far better deal at 107k. Let's see.

Thanks for the photos !!

Warm regards,
Venkat
Venkat - any cgi stuff will look good - don't use that as the benchmark. Also at the distances you are talking full hd will not make any difference. I would suggest bump your budget a bit and 50pv80 is a good choice. If 42" then 42pv80, unless the LG has PQ to beat the panny (don't think so). You will have to get your wife to understand (i am single so dunno how easy that is ) there is no point on deciding on LG because it looks good frameless (usb is there in all dvd players) if the pq is better on panny. None of the cnet reviews etc recommend lg over panny in best 42" hdtvs.

nor is lg rated over panny overall for top plasmas
