This plasma tv has now been fixed so i am selling it. I am selling it as a screen as the sound does not work. Does have picture in picture built in tuner loads of mad ports on the back i do not think it is hd although it does have ports on the back which could fool one into thinking so.
Yes you can plug an external sound system into it.
in regards to mattyc`s question my lcd monitor was on 2048x1024 resolution, when i pluged in the plasma it was still on 2048x1024 & working fine. I then changed the resolution to 1024x768 due to the writing being really small, when i restarted my pc windows recognised the plasma as a plug & play monitor & will no longer let me go over 1024x768. Hope this helps
This plasma has the following... 1 s-video input 2 scart sockets 2 audio in sockets 1 dtv input 1 dvi input 1 s-vga input 1 rs-232c input 1 rf input 1 speakers outlet (left & right) (proper speakers supplied) Nicam stereo (sound not working) built in tuner picture in picture 16:9, 14:9, zoom, 4:3, film & video modes. Differeent surround modes graphic eqaulizer.
THIS PLASMA NOW WORKS 100% SOUND NOW WORKING! I have just spent almost 2 hours working on this plasma to get the sound working.
Due to the fact that its only about a year and a half old and that it works 100% now, i`m afraid the price has to go up.
Serious offers please, try me, i don`t bite!

Oh yeah, & just for the record, no, i don`t want you to sell it for me on E-bay without my permission! If i wanted to do that, i`d do it myself with my own account. This applies to someone on this forum, they know who they are
I wouldnt worry too much about scratches, plasma screens are glass and not plastic like LCD, so they tend to be pretty resistant to scratches, much like CRT's.
What did you do to get the sound working again - was it repaired (recipt) or did it just start working again?
Turns out when the shop put it back together there where wires touching a circuitboard from the speaker outputs, this is what was causing the sound not to work and the constant "buzzing" noise that was coming from the speakers even when the sound was off.
I had it repaired and have a reciept, it had dry joints & a few resistors had blown. This plasma does not have the annoying exhaust fans like most, so it is very quiet but still gets very hot so needs to be in a well ventilated area. I asked the repairman if i should fit fans to it but he said its designed not to have them as to keep noise levels down. He said it is normal for plasmas to get very hot & not to worry about it.
He said it isnt matey. But it can display high resolution VGA. Either way, it certainly won't be 1080 HD as plasma's under 50" never are (summit to do with technological constraints).
I didnt define it very well, I meant 1080p. It doesnt list on that site if its progressive or interlaced. If its 1080i (which I suspect as there are plenty of plasma's and LCD's capable of this), then this isnt the format being adopted by the market. 1080p is the future HD format to be adopted.
Also, make sure that set on the website is the exact same one. The best way to find the exact one is to google the model number. The inner workings are often changed from month to month, wheras the outer casing doesnt change very often.
I know when I bought an LG 32" LCD in 2005, I bought the RZ-32LZ50 and less then 2 months later, the LG RZ-32LZ55 was released (albeit a £100 more expensive) with full HD compatability, whereas mine was only only basic HD due to the XD Engine, and not defined as HD Ready due to limitations. The outer casing looked exactly the same though.
Yer, theres loads of people on ebay and scam sites claiming to have them, but they havent really. With regards to other one, this thread might she some light on it lol.
Anywayz, back onto topic, if I come across an iPhone anytime soon, I will happily swap it lmao.
Various sources, mainly the net, sometimes me dad who used to run a few TV/Video/Hifi repair shops down south (he filled my head with all the info one could give about HDTV and how it would be the future of television within the next ten years back in 1998, all because at the time I didnt know so much and I said I thought Plasma's were the future of TV's and picture quality etc haha!).
lol, they are expensive to run, unreliable and overpriced.
Nice to see you're helping it to sell by mentioning these great selling points

Lol, I was only erm 12ish and I think I had only red about them in one of me dads mags and thought wow they look boss lmao!
To be honest, the Plasma's are expensive to run, but they are cheaper to make then LCD's (and therefore ya get more screen size per pound), and although they can be unreliable at times, their not too bad. The one problem with them, is if you have the brightness turned all the way up, it shortens the life. So people lower it fair bit - which still leaves it brighter then any LCD on the market and of course they can display real blacks, something which LCD's can't.
Im trying to save this for sale thread by highlighting the plus points of them, lmao Joe.
