I've been waffling between the Philips 34PW9818 and Loewe Aconda 9383 (graphite) for weeks now. If price weren't a factor, the choice would be easy--Aconda, best PQ I've seen, period. The extra 4" diagonal is icing on the cake. Of course, I'm not Bill Gates or Alex Rodriguez, so price IS a factor. Best price on the Philips is $2500, and my wife managed to talk the Loewe dealer into $3800 on the Aconda. Sure, the difference remains significant at $1300, but list on the Aconda is $5000. Seems like a good deal to me. I can afford either set, but obviously the Aconda leaves me with less $$$ to spend on DVDs, etc. Which would you choose, and why??
PS. Please, no "for that money you could get a 42" plasma replies." I live at 7000 feet and plasmas other than the ultra-expensive Revox models just don't work up here.
