  1. Correction:

    Consumer Reports stated that "Sony and Hitachi" stoped making plasma TV's for the home consumer. Panasonic is still going strong in the plasma market.

    My local Walmart was selling the new model 42" Panasonic Plasma TH-42PX6U for $1294.99, they sold out quick.

  2. I purchased the 37"PANASONIC PLASMA because it had the best picture quality in store and it was on sale $1197.99. Standerd Cable TV looks surprisingly good and DVD's look awsome with simple S Video cable. Glare is not a problem at all!

    Will picture be better using HDMI cable from HDMI DVD player? I cannot imagine.

  3. After looking at several flat panel sets today, the Panasonic Plasma TH-37PX60U was clearly the overall winner with digital satellite service (HD and "non" HD channels). But risk of burn in damage from Playstation 3, high watt usage, and screen glare give me second thoughts about buying. This TV is on sale now for $1197.99 at my local big chain store. Would you buy?

  4. Hence, Sony's marketing machine is full of crap once again.

    It is not only SONY. Look at all the other big companies that have jumped on Blu-Ray technology.

    1.3

    Who developed Blu-ray?

    The Blu-ray Disc format was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), a group of leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers, with more than 170 member companies from all over the world. The Board of Directors currently consists of:

    Apple Computer, Inc.

    Dell Inc.

    Hewlett Packard Company

    Hitachi, Ltd.

    LG Electronics Inc.

    Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.

    Mitsubishi Electric Corporation

    Pioneer Corporation

    Royal Philips Electronics

    Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

    Sharp Corporation

    Sony Corporation

    Sun Microsystems, Inc.

    TDK Corporation

    Thomson Multimedia

    Twentieth Century Fox

    Walt Disney Pictures

    Warner Bros. Entertainment

  5. Buy receiver with "1080p" HDMI technology built in. There is a difference between 1080i HDMI vs. 1080p HDMI esp. if you have a true 1080p TV. Receivers with state of the art 1080p HDMI technology cost around $1000.00 US dollars.

    Expect prices to drop much like 1080p Flat Screen TV's

  6. I would sell only well respected brand names like Klipsch, Sonus Faber, B&K, DENON, SONY, Samsung. At one time I really liked walking into HI FI Buys a.k.a. Tweeter and just looking at the fairly priced top quality equipment and then eventually buying. Tweeter now sells the cheaper junk much like the big chain stores.

    But I think now is a bad time to open up a Home Theater business. I would wait for the new technologies (1080p, Blue-Ray, HDMI, HDTV, Sony Playstation 3, etc.) to take hold and prices to fall. Consumer Reports stated "flat panel TV prices will fall another 20% soon".

  7. Wow... I must be damned easy to please because I thought R30 was awesome! What was wrong with the audio quality that some of you didn't like?

    I agree! R30 sounds awsome with my Klipsch Forte 2 speakers match with my B&K pre/power amp. But on my tube system it does not sound as good "very hot and bright sounding".
