I really like this persons site. He reviews well and appears to be independent.

My only criticism, US based.
This causes problems - for example the Panasonic TC-PST50 - does not appear to be a model available in Europe

Good stuff though.

I read a couple reviews and agree pretty cool site.

Why are the models so independent on where they are sold? I never understood that.

I mean if it a rock solid product why is it a failure somewhere else? Or why cannot someone in the UK buy it?

Another issue is shops offering price guarantees, they are having models built with different model numbers, so you cannot find the same product at different retailers.
