2 things we shouldn't forget. VAT and the 6-14% EU Tariff to the LCD panels not assembled in a country of the EU.

how does that justify a price that makes it relatively much more expensive than other panels and tv's that are also subject to VAT and also from outside the EU?

You can pick up a very, very good 3dtv - 51inch for £749 in the UK at the moment.  Compare that to this... its a rip off pure and simple.

I'm not justifying that price, I also think it's a ripoff. I'm only saying we pay much more taxes than USA, and we have to take that into consideration.
