does anyone in the New York City area know where I can view an NEC display? at this point I'll settle for one being used as a billboard since I want to get an idea of the aesthetics and build quality.


i'd really like to see the 42mp4 with a choice of source feeds, but it's been hard enough just finding reviews of this model.

Sound City on 45th street had a 42" NEC on display for a while. It was the MP2 or 3 model I believe. I haven't been in there in a long time (the place kinda gives me the creeps), but you might check them out. If you find another place with NEC panels, please let me know.

I didn't see any NEC at Sound City. yeah, the place is creepy, but the salesman seems to be the only one in the city who knows how to adjust a plasma picture.


he was pushing the 42" Sony Wega, which showed an HD source. I asked to see progressive DVD (another difficulty for NYC salespeople, apparently) and he obliged, resetting the picture to suit the change. he did a good job, too.

I do not know what model this is but it is an NEC and it is the lounge of the Hilton Hotel on 6th Ave ( The Avenue of the America's) I was there last week and saw it. I am afraid this isn't a very good picture because people were looking at me funny taking the picture! This just doesen't do it justice, but this is a way to see one in action and not from a sales person.


PS) I got lost on 45th street. This was my first trip EVER to NYC it was great! I cannot wait to go back!

thanks, LisaJ, i'll check it out.


i'm glad you enjoyed my humble town, sorry you got lost. i'll speak with someone at the DOT about better signage

i found the NEC motherload in NY: e*trade at Madison & 55th. they must have 100 of them, 50" and 42", on all the walls and support beams, on 3 floors!


(somehow it seems unfair that they have so many while others go without...)
