Hello everybody, this is my first post and the first time i'm gonna buy an HDTV.
Sorry for coming with questions like these, I tried reading the owners threads looking especially for problems that you guys may have had with your TVs, but they're huge and i'm running out of time ( I have to decide today). I also went to CC, BB and other stores to see them in action but the settings and the ambient light were too bad for me to form an opinion.
The options would be the pannys 50PZ80U, PZ85U or the sammy PN50A550.
I'm not sure that I can post the prices, i'll just say that the first one is about $200 cheaper. I don't really care about the VGA input on the 85U, i can use converters. I'm only interested in the quality of the display, to be honest i saw a little difference in those two, but i don't know if it wasn't because of the settings.
At first i was only interested in the pannys, but I saw a very imperceptible bar floating from top to bottom while watching a 42PZ80U and a 42PZ85U, right next to each other and that kind of scared me. Is that a common occurrence?
Also from what i'm reading in some of these threads it looks like they have some problems with the reds and greens?
What I need to know the most is what are the common problems with these displays and the pros and cons of each one of these.
TIA
P.S. I'm considering (though I would rather not) spending $150 more for a PN50A650 or $400 more for a 50PZ800U if the PQ would be noticeably better so any info on that would be appreciated. I know it's stupid to ask somebody else about the picture quality but maybe some of you had the chance to see them calibrated and in proper viewing conditions.
