I posted this earlier, but apparently in the wrong forum:
I was recently in Best Buy and noticed they had some nice sales on 1080p FP's. They needed to be moved fast as the newer models were due out (I assume for the 4th).
Personally, I don't need anything new or fancy in terms of cutting edge models, but I do know there are some things I do want.
I'm looking for a Plasma Flat Panel, 1080p, between 40 and 50 inches, and less than $2000.
I primarily use my HD cable, Oppo DVD player, and PS3 that I'll most likely get with the TV.
I have a Geffen 2to2 box for my HDMI inputs and outputs to my TV and projector, so the TV should have at least 2 HDMI inputs (one for the Geffen, and one for the PS3). All sound goes to my Marantz receiver.
Like I said, I don't need cutting edge, but I would like to purchase a TV and not have to worry about it until the next bump in resolution, or 5 years, or 10, whatever.
I'll also be taking all the proper steps for burn-in (although I have no idea how that's done or the best way to go about it) and eventually professional calibration beyond my own limited amateur calibration.
So, any models at Best Buy, or any other vendor (including here), that stand out as solid purchases that meet my requirements?
Thanks boys and girls.
