Everyone,
I ran into an issue buying a new set. I have been put on a buget (my better half) and was looking at the pio's. I found a great deal (or I thought before I found the others today) on a PDP-5080. It's picture was very good even though it is a 768p set. I thought it was better than most if not all the other 1080p sets in the store. I was almost dead set on getting this awesome tv.
Well, today I happen to walk into a local dealer who only sells Elites. He had two older ones "768p" on sale at the same price, a brand new in box PRO-1140 and a 10-11 month floor model (back room set on optimum display) PRO-1150.
I don't know if buying a used plasma should be considered but I do know that the 2 year warranty does apply to both Elites and only a year for the other.
I know this isn't the best place for this but I am running out of choices for info. Any guidance or personal preference would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
