Reviewing TVs can be a bit of a soulless profession. You write the review, put it online, and that’s the last you hear of it. But eventually, friends and family come back to you – out of the blue – and say things about the site, like “It’s a treasure trove…” or “It actually makes me care what a TV remote looks like!” (Yes, they’re actual quotes.)

The Panasonic TX-P 46 G 15 B is available from around 900 GBP.
So when a family member decided he wanted to enter the world of HD home cinema with a mid-range plasma TV and a Blu-ray player, he knew where to come. But the advice I could give him isn’t all here in my head. It’s in the thousands of pages of content Televisions.com has been gushing out over the last couple of years. I’d almost forgotten how in-depth our TV buying guide is, and just how many current plasma TVs we’ve either reviewed or previewed. When the happy owner of a new TX-P 46 G 15 B then turned his attention to Blu-ray players, he immediately stumbled upon a recent blog entry at Televisions.com – Top five Blu-ray players released in 2009. Seeing our glowing praise of Panasonic’s top-spot player, the DMP-BD 80, was all the persuasion he needed. The new setup has recently been put through its paces with the Blu-ray edition of “Casino Royale” – and where did he hear about this release’s exceptional picture quality? Where else – it’s the winner of our 43 Best Blu-rays Ever.
It’s good to know that all of this work really does give useful, practical results. And, as the proud new high-def fan said: “I would have spent much more, and to no real effect.” There you have it, Televisions.com offers you sound, money-saving tips on what to buy and how to set it up – and we plan to keep on doing so.
