Try visit a few online stores (amazon and the like)
See what people say about them who own them, that's what I go on if I don't know someone who owns a product.
As Ad7 said, best to go for 1080p at that screen size; if you can't afford it, get a smaller screen (38' maybe?) with 1080p. It really does make a difference.

They're the ones I was looking at with the newer LG 42PJ650. They're 20 miles away in Reading.

Comet's probably not the cheapest place, plus you have to deal with the sales twats
