New TV?
 

I've been thinking about buying a new TV. It's annoying when my wife is watching TV or a movie and I can't watch anything good because all we have other than that is a 25" tube TV.
We currently have a 42" top of the line LCD TV with 1080p resolution and such. My thought was to buy a 50" plasma for watching TV since plasma's are for the most part at a lower resolution, have burn-in issues, and just aren't as good for gaming but considering most TV is only at 720p anyways that should be fine.

I'll think about it for a week or two before I make my finally choice but decided to post it up here because the site has been so slow lately.

How bout a Vizio. They seem pretty nice, and very cheap when comparing to some of the big companies like Sony, Phillips, etc...

Another TV moneybags? haha just jerkin your chain chadwix.

Go big or go home.

yea go big or go home is right


why has the site been so slow?
I think its prob cuz we are all kinda in a transition period

On a good note Im sellin the oldschool bike and looking for an oldschool car.......:)

yeah you should get a Vizio they are pretty nice. my parents have one and it's nice. I would also recommend Westinghouse

I barely game anymore, but my buddy has a vizio and we played a little 360 on that it wasnt even all that bad for resolution.

I got a Vizio cant complaint here Its been good to me.

I was looking at the Panasonics. I heard a lot of good things about thier plasma's.

yea panasonic has some really nice stuff, saw some of them at best buy and they were sickk

I think I'll head over to the store and see what they have in stock today.

the verdict is?

I'm about ready to make the purchase. I've decided it is something I want.

My wife and I have been looking at buying a nice house and we both agree we want one TV for the family/living room and then to have a movie room in the basement so I'll need both anyways so I might as well do it now.

I'm still looking for the perfect model for myself but after reading through tons of specs, reviews, etc... The one it looks like I'll end up with is a 50" Panasonic 1080p plasma. I don't remember the exact model number off the top of my head but it's a new model for this year.

Why plasma? Thats way too much money to spend if the bulbs burn out...

Plasma's are hot gas, but yeah it could be a pain if you have to get them recharged. Nowadays though they have longer lifespans. And in all honesty most people will buy a new TV before the Plasma would need a recharge.

Chad, have you looked at any of the Pioneer plasma's, they seem to be at the top of a lot of peoples lists. My buddy has a model that is 2 years old now and it has an amazing picture.

My roomate has a 50" panasonic plasma in our living room. His is 720, but it still looks nice. Its a nice name brand, I think youll be happy with it.
