I'm looking at the 50" Panny Plasmas, the PX80 and PZ80. In the stores I can see a slight difference with the 1080p set(brighter), however I know the setups are not ideal and the signal is split all up. However, last night I was in a bestbuy and they had the PX80 setup more ideally and the pictuer was excellent.
My question is this, once I get one of these Panny home and is calibrated, will I notice much if any difference for the better with the more expensive 1080p set?
my uses will be primarily HDTV and Wii(do blu-ray in my Theater room). My setup will not have any outside light issues, few windows and the windo I do have has a deck above it which provides shade.
So far I can't justify $500 extra dollars for the 1080p from what I've seen of them, but figure there will be some good deals on these in the next month or so, right now the 46" version is a decent price. After viewing these sets in multiple stores however, and seeing the 720p look better in some than others, I've about concluded whatever I buy willl look different once its home no matter what. I guess I'm wondering if once a better signal is there and its calibrated and in my living room, if I'd be able to tell a difference between the two that is noticeable. Sitting at 12' also.
I'm also considering the new Vizio 50" that Costco has and got good reviews. Figure they'll have a sale that get it down to $1k at some point.
