I have been searching for a plasma for quite a while((about 2 years). The prices are finally coming down to acceptible levels compared to other technologies. I am either going to get a 42" ed or wait untill a 50" (top name brand) get below $3,000. I just cant pay the high price for the 50" best brands, and the off brands just look so much degraded that the 42" models of good brands are a better value. My two questions are:
Is the NEC worth the couple extra hundred dollars? I have read that the NEC has a little better guts and the best SD viewing format.(I am looking for the punchy colors of the pioneer / NEC line)?
Are the top name 50"ers going to drop where the off brands are in the next 2 to 3 months?
I would love to have a 50" in Pio but currently its at least double that of a 42" ed. The only drawback is that with the 42" I could move to the bedroom and get the big daddy 55 or 60 in three years.
Any suggestions or predictions?
