My 42" samsung from 2005 just fritzed on me... held out for exactly 5 years.
For a replacement I am thinking I would like something to get me through the next 5 years where the next gen technologies really are cleaned up and perhaps cheaper (e.g., networking, VOD, OLED, what have you)
Finding some great prices on G15 which I like. However, no NetFlix on the G15 (and it looks like that is final decision on that from Panasonic) means its a no go. New 2010s do have the Netflix.
So question is should I wait (and pay a little more) for the G25s coming out presumably in APril (vs. Feb/March, as i) I want a 46" and ii) the 42" has already slipped from Feb/March to March/April) -- or should I get something else off-the-shelf today? (any recommendations welcome/appreciated)
I am fine waiting till april if that is where the value is. I 100% want Netflix. I will actually use the Skype add-on as well (I use skype video today on my laptop 3-4 times a week).
And unless I just spend like $400-500 bucks then I want my TV to last 5 years if I drop $1K (or in the G25 case closer to $1.5K). Hopefully it will last over 5 years this time...
