Kuro. I got a nice deal at BestBuy last summer.

Pioneer uses Pano displays in their plasmas.
If you watch sports... definitely go w/ a plasma.
I have had the Pano Th-42PZ800U since June...beautiful set...$875 delivered.

Og,We have 3 of the 52" Sharp Aquos and 3 of the 32" Aquos. We love them and they are very reasonably priced. I understand they now offer a 60" for around $3400!!

Ralph I just bought a 60 incher Pano for 2400!! Plasma! No TAX (Californias attorney general just sent an officer of the court to my house to see if they could legally make me pay taxes so they can take a junket to Cabo late this month.) No Shipping!!

Now that you have your new TV on your way, don't forget proper cables! I have seen so many people spending thousands on HDTV but using non HD cables (i.e. components or below). It's like sticking a garden hose into a fire hydrant. Here's a place that has very good quality cables for dirt cheap prices! Fast & cheap shipping too! No affliation, just a happy customer for many years.

Here's an example:

A comparable cable at Best Buy will probably cost you $100 or more. Granted with prettier packaging...

Wilfred I am a EE and I have had HDMI cables for years.
I have even kept up with the improvements in HDMI capability.

What I do is upgrade my DirecTV reviever every 6 mos and they send me 2 HDMI cables every
timeLOL!!!!

I have the Pano 800 series in the 50 inch and it is awesome! You will not be disappointed. The Pioneer has slightly better blacks and contrast, but it was another $1500 in the 50 inch and considerably more in the 60 inch than the Pano. Unless you see them side by side, you will never know the difference.

Enyoy!

Thanks Mark. My last DLP is on the way out!!

I dumped a Sony 55" DLP for a Pioneer Elite 60" plasma. An incredible picture that makes a BlueRay purchase worth it. I hate having to upgrade the receiver/amp every few years as they change the cable types and the sound options.

OldGuy

this will be interesting because my DLP had a great pic but I couldnt tell Blue ray differences
on this DLP set.

tell me about it!!!! In October of 2004 I spent a ton on a custom dedicated home theater. I put in McIntosh amps and a McIntosh pre-amp....what the heck was wrong with me spending that much on a freakin' pre-amp as it was out dated in a year! I lost my mind for a minute back then! It has no HDMI switching capibility so I have to run the DirecTv receiver and the blu-ray player into a HDMI switcher then to the projector. It works but is a remote programming nightmare. Now there is new audio codecs with True HD sound and so forth that I can not decode....AARRRRGH!

Bryston and PMC (a standard of comparison), see the reviews (trust your ears, not the hype) and save some money (from someone who designs the stuff for a living)

Does truly anybody gives 2 ***** about what TV "old guy" should choose from?? I thought this forum was about cars and Porches in particular...maybe I am confused....

If the person posting the thread already acknolewdges it is off topic, by definition, save us all the pain and post the stupid thing some where else...

Enough with the AMG ****, and the Minis for sale, and the TVs and who knows next....

Again, maybe I need help, or to increase my pill dosage, or all of the above... but for the love of God, stop posting stupid/pointless stuff...

Thanks

I preface every OT post by OT. There is not enough matter here to keep a GT3 forum going for 2 years inbetween model releases. Also typically I find a$$ holes in the OT forum much like you. So since I have been friends with most of these guys for 5 years or more I ask them who I trust. YOU are not one of them. Are you not capable of NOT clicking on a thread? **** off.

Its obivous you need help now go back to your Ford focus forum. Since most of the OT guys cant afford TVs (such as yourself)
I ask those here.
And Yes you need help
