I've found it elsewhere for £700 so if my money comes it it could be bolted to the wall be the end of the month :-)

Has freeview built in which is ok as we have sky but it does have 2 freeviews in it and can do picture in picture and split screen. Has good contrast as well.
just be careful, plasmas are very good if you buy the correct set, you need to look at resolution as a lot of hd plasmas are 1024 * 768 and so can't do native 720p (obviously the closer the res to 1280*720 the better)
look for sets with a resolution of 1280 * 720 or 1366 * 768 unless you want to go for a 1080p set which are more expensive.

also plasma's (cheaper ones) can suffer from screen burn when there are static images on screen (e.g channel logo's in corners of screen) although this is less common now you need to look into this before you buy.
