My in-laws in Sydney are looking to buy a Plasma. I'm in the U.S. and my last purchase was a Panny 50" in 2005, so I'm not clear how to advise them. They are looking at two Panasonic's, both for AUD$2699 (I would guess at Harvey Norman's or Dick Smith's):

TH50PZ700A (50")
TH46PZ800A (46")

I'd appreciate any guidance on recommended models, pricing and vendors in Australia.

Thanks,
Mike

pz800 series is the new model

better blacks than the superseeded model
$2300 AUD is the going cash price for the new model, according to those on the ground

Thanks for the link - I've sent them off to find the best deal on a 50" pz800, which should be close the price they were quoted for the 46". Now I've just got to figure out the Australian DVR options...

TiVo is going to be available there shortly without monthly fees.
