Do I want this plasma? Want to buy NOW!

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
OK, I'm set on buying a plasma NOT over $1,400 (total). I always thought Panasonic was really good, but people here seem really experienced so I thought I'd come for your kind words of wisdom.

The best choices I found:

and

http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-a...5.html?tag=lst

I'm a little worried about the "poor" segments at the end of the cnet reviews. Do you guys suggest getting something from a company other than Panny? I want a good plasma to watch movies and play videogames. I want to buy it over this weekend, too. Before I spend the money I saved up somewhere else haha!

I have a couple more questions. About burning the TV in, if that's what it's called, what do I play/watch for a 100 hours to take care of that? What settings? And for how many hours a day can I let it be on?

The other thing is callibration, do I get it after that process? And where would be a good place? Best buy?

I would ask for a good site to buy the TV from too, not sure if that's allowed.

Oh wise AVS dieties, please enlighten me!

Don't rule out Samsung. It scored the same as the Panasonic but didn't have the floating blacks and didn't fail as many geek box tests.

Thanks RandyWalters.

Which Samsung do you mean Nuance?

CNET reviewed the 5064, but it is the same panel as in the 54 and I would imagine the 42 inch version will perform the same way (I think its called the 4254).

Great product, low price. Keep in mind though for a few hundred more you can get a 50" if the size works for you.

Oh, alright thanks Nuance.

Cleveland, if it did I would've considered it, but 42" is pretty much the perfect size for me right now.

Under $1,400 - Panasonic, Samsung, and Hitachi. The Hitachi doesn't have as good black levels as the others. Just make sure that you break in the plasma before playing video games. Enjoy!
