Frustrated yes!
Here's why. In a recent thread you may have read that I purchased a Panasonic TH-42PX20U for my husband as a gift. He is soon to return from Afghanistan this coming week and has a birthday in the wings at the end of the month.
Silly me thought this would be a grand idea for a "Welcome Home I'm Proud of You and by the way Happy Birthday" sort of thing. Perhaps it would have if I hadn't opened my big yap and let the cat out of the bag to chase the mouse.
Yesterday I had a chance to talk with him and his reply was in the order of, "Wow babe how sweet of you, but, I'd rather have the Sony 34XBR910." Note; to those that aren't aware the 910 is a CRT. Some would say the best made and probably one of the last.
Now this shouldn't matter because the 910 saves us more than a jingle in savings. However, I was under the impression that the Panasonic 42PX20U would have the better PQ among all of its other attributes. Moreover when "I" saw them, I was certainly entranced by the Plasma and flippant over the Sony.
My hubby tells me that the Sony despite its smaller size has a better PQ for SD and soon to come HD. And that plasma has too many quirks to invest in it now, such as high rate of burn in and fragile nature. The cost of either one was not an issue, rather the output of display.
I'm belly up confused and need to make a decision fast as to whether or not to have this swapped out by next week. I'm on the fence here and it isn't a pretty picture. I need some advice.
TIA
