Why didn't he go LED LCD at Costco? They extend the warranty by two years.

Because this is what he wanted. Plus, we don't have any Costcos here.

Before I could tell him about this one.

If I'm not mistaken, LG got the Kuro Elite line of plasmas for themselves when Pioneer stopped making them. If that's the case, your dad probably bought one of the best PQ TVs out there.

Let me know in the future because they have an internet site that offers the same pricing as the stores (without tax).

Only question is...do they have the same clarity as LCD TVs?

Oh...this is the one...

I have a 65" Mitsu DLP that I bought a few years ago (quite a bit more expensive back then). The picture is great. I think the main reason DLP's fell out of favor is that you can't hang them on a wall and they are more then 2 inches deep. I have an LCD, Plasma, LED and a DLP projector in my house and the DLP tv does not suffer in comparison (the LED definitely has the best picture but it's the latest and greatest techology, it should).

The DLP technology does have one advantage over LCDs in that it presents black much better (LCD blacks look more like a really, really dark gray). Its a goofy videophile thing. In projectors, DLP's are much preferred to LCDs.

Didn't know where to stick this.

42" Vizio SV421XVT 1080p 240Hz SPS LCD HDTV
$500 + Free Shipping


Seems like a good enough deal.

I don't know much about RCA's quality, but $299 is a good price for any 42" plasma.

The end result was we sent Sony, LG, and Vizio LCDs packing and bought outstanding plasma tvs for the two rooms we spend most of our time in.

We've come to the realization that we are plasma people.

Yup.

Bought a Panasonic Plasma and never looked back. No regrets at all, I love that thing. The picture on my 46" Plasma has far better looking black levels and color than my Brother in Law's 50" Sony LCD.

I really like the LED's. I was at my mother in laws last week. She has a 55" LED. It looked really good. I want one now.

I have a Sharp Aquos 60" LED LCD. I love it. I think it was 1,900 when I got it right during the 3D craze, or the beginning of it. There was an issue with it and they replaced it. Problem was they didn't have any of my kind left so they replaced it with a version two higher(about 3,500). Lucky me. Anyway, the current one is awesome but so is the original. The only difference is the clouding. My current one has zero clouding anywhere.

Bump for this deal - 60" Panasonic Viera TC-P60U50 600Hz Plasma HDTV for $699 with free shipping
