I dug up this older thread to help in my research and hoped it would come back to life with some updates.
After all 2grand is a whole lotta money to spend for us.
However when your home bound on the down dayz movies and such are your best option being a quad. but on our up dayz we are gone from sun up to sun down or somewhere abouts in there.
We would like to get back to sports too and the big screen is what keeps you in the action.
I'm "in the biz" as an importer of high-end audio products. Samsung is expected to exhibit their new screen technology at CES2007 that is far superior to Plasma, LCD, etc. I hope to get to their exhibit during CES but will be busy with running my show.
FWIW, I bought a Maxent 52" HD plasma last December at a Best Buy. It's a no-name screen that uses Panasonic components.
It's not on constantly, but sees pretty constant use most evenings and I've had no problems. I'm glad I bought a plasma every time I walk past a LCD, DLP, etc in the stores.
Thanks.
I never bought a new tv.
Waiting for the price to drop and quality to go up.
