3 out of 4 plasma's i've witnessed have been broken at the time of witnessing. I'm simply not interested. plus the word "plasma" .... I keep thinking it'll break and spill on my floor.

sony is very pretty. samsung looks good as well. I looked at these and also the philips and I have to say the philips and the sony were spot on and the samsung would be my second choice. the sony looked a hair more saturated but also i felt like it had more color bleed or motion blur, i can say which, where the philips seems a touch crisper. of course, this is very fine hair splitting all of these looked wonderful.

1080p is all there is. if you do the 'blind taste test' and don't see the difference, then definitely don't buy. I do see the difference, and I'm very sensitive to these things visually.

for example, everyone shits themselves over the sony, but I was surprised that, although it was definitely the richest in color it still had that bleeding/blurring feeling to me. some of it was compression in the signal, but I could see that across all the screen so I know it wasn't that alone.

in short, i'm leaning towards the philips

the philips has 1 problem. its a glossy cabinet. boo. what the f!!ck is up with glossy cabinets these days ??? its gross.

also, i'm looking at the 46" range (the philips is 47)

I guess I started a second thread after this one? I've managed to cornfuse myself again. sigh.

Par for the course.

good to know I'm getting back up to speed

 

So, now that there are LCDs under $700, I'm tempted to grab one as a stop-gap until everybody decides what they're REALLY going to do.
