Is anyone here a member of Costco (in the UK)?

If so, have you received a Costo promotion leaflet/book with a voucher for a 46" Panasonic Plasma TV (TH46PZ80B) for £770?

If so, if your not going to buy it can I have your voucher? :)

Deal starts in Feb 09 from what I hear, but you need to produce a voucher that is sent out to Costco members :(

Plasma?

They might still win the "Which" awards for best picture, put the EU are about to ban them due to their ridiculous power consumption profiles...

You realised the Celica will have to go?

Sis-in-law has a Costco card, if I remember Ill ask if she got the offer.

@Bongo, when it comes to Plasmas, LG are barely playing the same game as Panasonic, let alone in the same league :p

Panasonics are better than LG (screen panels are superior)

Cuz
[f*ck] the EU! ...bunch of interfering wankers

The power consumption info for the TH-46PZ80B is:
Panasonic Website wrote: Power Consumption (W)
Rated - 470.0
Assumptive Actual Use (Wh) - 387.0
Standby without DVB Tuner Lock On - 0.4
Plasma TVs have better colour richness (blacks that are actually black, and not a washed out grey like LCD ones)...also I dont have a celica, I have a modified Supra RZ Twin Turbo :)

Comparable Sony LCD: 0.2W in standby, 293W in operation
However the Sony is around twice the price up front. :(
(Still waiting for that one to dip under £1k before I get it)

True, while backlight bleed through is much reduced in current high end LCDs, they still cant match the Plasmas for that.
LCDs are better at the more vibrant colours though, so I guess its all down to which type of porn you watch the most... :lol:
