Richer Sounds don't seem to have any unfortunately. 12 months on the outlet refurbs.

Think I'll wait for the P50ST60B to turn up on the Outlet or just get the 55" from PRC direct if nothing appears in the next few weeks.

To be fair, although some of that crap was from the BBC, some of it was (or at least appeared to be) a direct quote from some twit at TrustedReviews.

And I really only posted the link as confirmation that Samsung are exiting the market. I don't warrant or endorse the content.
I was just ranting, needed one.  :-Y But yes, sad that Samsung are exiting the market too; death of plasma I guess, not that people didn't see it coming.

For some reason I thought you could buy the RS warranty for a TV purchased from somewhere else, now I'm not so sure.
You reckon 50" will be enough?  B-)

Yes and no.

I've been fine with a 42" but know I want a bit more, 50" seems ideal, but 55" looks easier to get hold of.

Whoop! :D Try some custom settings, there are a few flying around... It's a damn good TV, just be a bit gentle with it for the first 200 hours (no retina-scorching settings, avoid static image bits for more than an hour or so, etc) and it should keep you happy for a long time.
This is one I found:

SO????  8-O

I had our ZT calibrated a couple of days ago - not a HUGE difference, but it does bring out more nuances/details in the mid-range, and the darkest and lightest parts of an image have more detail too.

It's very nice. 50" seems the right size.

Tried the settings you posted but it's a bit too dark, need to play about.

Liking being able to send YouTube videos to it from my phone. Only got 1 pair of 3D glasses, eyes felt too strained even if it did look quite good with a few demos I found on YouTube, probably won't use it much though.

Surprisingly thin too.

And LG now too. Think it just leaves some Chinese manufacturer.
