Plasma TVS...

[stolt]

I've been lucky enough to get a Fujitsu 42" Plasma TV as a wedding present, delivery takes apx 2 wks, does anyone have any info on these tvs, specs, tried a couple of sites but the details given are minimal. A few work mates reckon there not that good and that they don't even come with speakers or a stand or a station tuner, anyone know anythign, anyone own thsi model out there, or knows of a site where I can check the spec.
The people who are giving this present are loaded, I'm unfortunatley not so don't want to have this TV if it costs another £1000 for a stand/tuner and speakers .

Thanks in advance.

I was under the impression that no plasma TV comes with a tuner - you just user a VCR/digibox as a source.

As for speakers, use whatever is currently connected to your amp/all in one system (assuming you have one).

Plasmas are intended purely as monitors in much the same way as computer monitors.

I don't think this is the case anymore - some panasonic models even come with speakers (nicam) and a tuner box

I remeber having a fujitsu plasma at work which was rented out - it came back with a scratch on the screem, oooohhh. Check out this page (http://www.fujitsugeneral.co.jp/english/products/pdpeng/index_pv.htm) for the range of fujitsu plamas

icebun - thanks very much for the info, I'll have to buy myself a VCR then to access normal tv stations. Only have Amp and DVD currently, I also have Tannoy surround speakers so I guess I'll be fine there then.

Once again thanks for the info.

Cheers

Tell you what. I've got a spare 12 inch Hitachi all transistor set that has got a built in tuner and speakers. If you'll pay the postage I'm happy to do a swap.

Let me know,

Yes,,, ;)

kcxdev - thanks for the link, I know I have the 4208 model and the site has the full spec which is useful.

Thanks

A2 is trying to rip you off - thats not a fair swap!!!!! :mad: :mad: <-- thats what these rip offs make me, really mad.!

Anyway, I'll step in to ease the pain -- I have a 14" Alba TV with tuners galore (well one, but it'll get BBC1,2,ITV1,C4,C5) -- it also had a built in video player so you don't need to buy a video --- AND I'LL PAY THE POSTAGE!

IN THE WORDS OF ICELAND, AM I DOING A DEAL OR AM I DOING A DEAL (A2 ISN'T!! :p)

lol

:D :D :D :D :D

My wifes not bad for her age, polite, great in the kitchen and still has most of her own teeth. I'd swap for your 'Money Pit' TV.

I know what you're thinking though....'thats just not fair'...well ok then i'll chuck in another £100 in crinkly notes.

Tempting isnt it????

Most of the latest plasma tv's now cater for the AV enthusiast and come with everything as a normal tv has. You sometimes have to pay extra for a stand though.
