can i recommend LG?
by masterying01 - 6/12/06 8:58 PM In reply to: CHALLENGING QUESTIONS......PLEASE, by Riverledgeits around the same price, but in my opinion...the picture is a LOT MORE realistic. they make one with a dvr built in for around $3700 and the non-dvr one is around $3300.
for some reason...the samsung and panasonic plasma's that we have on display looks really "digitized" and very blocky. but thats just my opinion.
samsung

Consumer Reports rates...
by skydog239 - 6/17/06 1:35 PM In reply to: Samsung HPS-5053 or Panasonic TH-50PX60U - 50 Inch plasmas by hornist4Consumer Reports rates that panasonic model as their #2 top pick. the samsung model rated 22nd out of 25. i've been researching 50' plasma tv's for 3wks and am going with the panasonic th-50px60u. consumer reports #1 choice was the panasonic 50px500u - it has more bells and whistles (aka features, many of which you don't need if you have cable), but the 60u has a better picture quality. if you go to avs forums and look in their bigscreen/plasma tv section, you'll find that not many are impressed with the samsung. hope this helps you.
Good information!
by BoomerF - 7/22/06 7:51 PM In reply to: Consumer Reports rates... by skydog239Thank you for the information. It's always good to have that reviews on hand before purchasing a product and more if there is expert advice such as Consumer Report.

TH50PX600U
by timetogolf - 6/20/06 1:44 PM In reply to: TH-50PX600U by skydog239If you're asking the price difference between the 42PX600U and the 50PX600U it is $900 after the 10% discount. I tyhink Panasonic charges the state sales tax. ABT only charges sales tax for certain states (listed on their site).
Panasonic TH50PX600U vs TH50PX60U
by skydog239 - 6/20/06 2:45 PM In reply to: TH50PX600U by timetogolfwhich one do you think is better? i talked to a panasonic rep the other day and he said the TH50PX600U has all the bells and whistles, but the TH50PX60U has the better picture quality. he also said the more features a model has, the less picture quality you get. is that true??
60U vs 600U
by timetogolf - 7/14/06 6:16 AM In reply to: Panasonic TH50PX600U vs TH50PX60U by skydog239I think if Panasonic heard their rep tell a customer that you lose picture quality because you buy a set with more features they would be out the door so fast and I don't beleive the rep. I got the 42 600U over the 60U and can't tell the difference in it compared to the 60U in the stores. One interesting thing I found before my cable card was installed (which works great by the way), was the set would get the majority of my cable provider digital channels, plus pay per view movies.
If you think about this it is possible. The cable company sends the signal out over their system and the card or set top box decodes the signal. So if your set has the electronics to decode the signal, you have that service.
