Born2RockU Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I chose the 50" Pioneer PDP505-CMX Plasma w/ Aurora dual-HDMI video card ! 60,000 hour to 1/2 life. Visually mind-blowin' !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I'll only say do the research on any tv you find.I was sold on several until I discovered the nightmare some owners had been having,4 to 6 weeks with no tv. As to the Panasonic the reason he may have suggested it is because its a very highly rated best buy and is inexpensive and has a very good picture.

I like mine,it's all the television I need, others will require more HD. Your HD is only as good as the signal input it's feed, no matter what set you buy.

Cal Blacksmith Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I don't think so...since true HD is 1080i I believe...afterall, by 2007 all networks will be required to broadcast in 1080i. And YES, there is an incredible difference between progressive scan DVD and 1080i HD. It's simply surreal, how real it is, if that makes any sense. Nick, the deal with the networks is that they will be required to use DIGITAL that is not the same as HD. They can still put out the same ol garbage they do today only the signal will be digital insted of analog. They will have more bandwidth to use and HD uses it all. With SD they can have 2 or 3 channels in the same bandwidth. Yes HD looks TONS better than SD.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_L Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 If you want to watch the Steelers in High Definition, via your local cable of satelite or Verizon fiber network, you'll need an HD TV. Tell the salesguy to go suck an egg. They like to confuse you and then sell you Monster cables. Think about either the Samsung DLP HD TVs, or the Sony rear projection LCDs. they are relatively inexpensive and very very good. The Red Sox and the Patriots are great in HD!
