There are a lot of people who seem to think they will regret a purchase due to concerns about burn-in, HDCP, 4:3 stretching, lack of inputs, whatever... Now's the chance to show how few have regretted their purchase.


Oh, if you do regret the purchase, please explain why. I would regret buying an Alis panel too, if I had.

 

[Felgar]

ROFL, that's hillarious. I mis-clicked and voted that I was disappointed in the purchase. Can I change my vote? Was that a little freudian-click on my part?

50/50 split currently

Love mine too, no regrets whatsover. (Well OK, one, which is how the NRS sucks with a 503CMX). Jury still seems to be out on that one.

It's more of a feeling of, "I wish I had gotten a better one..." or "I wish I had waited for the cool one about to be released..." rather than a feeling of regret.


My biggest problem isn't having spent the money, but feeling odd about retiring a $4000 TV when I get the next one

No regrets here!!!Felgar....do you regret your plasma purchase? BM

 

[Mad Chemist]

The only regret I have is that it looks so damn good, it made watching my pj a miserable experience. So I had to go out and buy a new pj. A new plasma and pj puts a bit of a dent in the bank account However, I am enjoying them both immensely.

... just wish I had the room and money for the 50" instead of the 42"!

To set the record completely straight:


NO, I do NOT regret my purchase. I'm completely happy. Forum mods, can you change my vote?


I feel like I'm in that episode of West Wing where Donna wanted to trade votes because she messed her vote up.


What happened is that I was deliberating on whether to post a negative or positive question. "Are you happy with your purchase" or "Do you regret your purchase" And then I was wondering wether to put positive or negative on top of the poll itself. When it was all said and done I got all mixed up and voted wrong. I didn't even realize I was confused until after I clicked submit. Then it was like, "Oh crap, I can't believe I just voted wrong!" *blush*


Anyway, hopefully you all have a good laugh. I did.

I changed the poll as follows:


regret was 2 changed to 1

no regrets was 23 changed to 24

And my positive vote is despite all the hassles I've had with it.

Felgar,


Did you live in South Florida during the last presidential election?

 

[Felgar]

ROFL!!! No, I just work at a place where I (and everyone else's) IQ drops instantly by 50 as soon as I walk though the door. I can feel myself becoming "dumified." Sad really. Anyone else work at an environment like that?


Thanks for changing it though Mark, much appreciated.


So who voted negative then?

 

[bmohar]

I LOVE MY PLASMA!


I only wish there were more anamorphic wide screen DVD's and HD programming.

When you go in, or when you come out?

 

[BruZZi]

I love my plasma! I will never go back!


My only regret is... not buying it before , even for a higher price!!!

 

[Mike2567]

My brother just got a 50" panny and I'm thinking about a second plasma.

 

[llogan]

My only regret is not being able to spend more time playing with it. I have no regrets about having spent $7100 back in May for it and it now going for $5000. Even for the limited use that it's seen, I've enjoyed it more than a bunch of the other toys I own and when you consider the rate of my depreciation on my 740i, a couple of grand is no big deal...well ok it's a big deal but one I can live with.

 

[Felgar]

Definitely going in. I am usually moderately intelligent, but not when I'm at work. Sigh.. Weekend now though! No more work talk!
