    TV missing Coax input

    Could have gotten wedged somewhere, or even have broken off and fallen out.

    Panasonic will kill Sony any day, but it's up to you whether or not you really need to upgrade.

    Panasonic 2008 Plasmas

    NEVER judge a TV by what it looks like at Best Buy or any big-box store.

    Pioneer says goodbye to plasma manufacturing

    Upon further research, it looks like only the consumer (Pioneer) models are affected, the professional (Elite) models are not.

    Pioneer says goodbye to plasma manufacturing

    Apparently these reports were based on erroneous information. Pioneer is apparently looking to restructure their manufacturing process, they will not say any more at this point. However, they did say they are NOT dropping Kuro. :D

    Pioneer says goodbye to plasma manufacturing

    Little bit of confusion behind this. Another forum that I visit (with many who are dealers for Pioneer) say that they only might be discontinuing the 42" consumer panels, but will continue to make the larger size professional panels (that includes the Kuros). But it's hard to be sure at this...

    Small 1080p

    Ah, true, I overlooked that. That's one large computer monitor!

    Small 1080p

    You probably don't really need 1080p when it's that small.

    720p vs 1080p

    Quality of the set would depend on factors such as contrast, etc. Yet another reason not to buy a TV based on what it looks like at a place like Costco. Torch mode will make any observations useless. BTW, have you seen the new Kuros? Those things look absolutely amazing.

    720p vs 1080p

    Well I was referring to the Panny plasma specifically compared to the multiple LCD's I mentioned. In most cases plasma looks far better than LCD. Obviously a Planar or Nuvision LCD will look much better than a cheap plasma, but in the same price range, a Pioneer Plasma will look better. In...

    720p vs 1080p

    The quality of the set makes more of a difference. Look at a 720p Panasonic Plamsa vs. a 1080p Olevia, Vizio, Element, Insgnia, etc. LCD. The Plasma will look much better.

    What will you do with your SDTV 2009.

    What will you do with your SDTV 2009.

    I have 6 SDTV's, I don't plan on doing a thing with them until they break. Which I don't forsee happening too soon.

    What will you do with your SDTV 2009.

    How many people seriously use OTA vs the amount that use satellite/cable/fios? I wouldn't think too many.

    help me buy a new HDTV

    In that price range, do not get 1080, there's no good 1080i or 1080p sets in that price range that will even look decent. In that size range, a decent 720p will look a lot better than a cheap 1080p. Vizio is absolutely terrible. They look worse than any TV I've ever seen, and they have a...

    Best HDTV under $1000?

    Don't even mention the big-box stores. Normal light...I'll still perceive the blacks on the screen as white, because the screen is white and there's extra light. Not great blacks whatsoever. And bigger is not always better. The picture from a projector compared to the picture of a TV of...

    Best HDTV under $1000?

    Front projection is really only effective in dark rooms. For multi-purpose rooms, a TV offers much more flexibility.

    Best HDTV under $1000?

    No, no, no. Front Projector in a guest room? Not very practical. I like Samsung LCD's best. Sharps aren't bad either, although some of the cheaper model series are. I've also been [suprisingly] impressed with Toshiba.

    SD Signal on a HD Monitor?

    Agree completely. Many cheap HDTV's do a terrible job of scaling SD...to the point where it looks terrible. A decent HDTV will make SD look just as good as it does on an SDTV. You have two options when watching 4:3 SD on a 16:9 HDTV...display the picture with black bars on the side or...

    Let's define average then.

    What about Vizio TVs?

    I'll give you $100 if I'm impressed. Because those are the absolute worst looking TV's I've ever seen. Toshibas look better but they're a pain to control (very few have discretes).

    Best Buy: Consumers baffled by HDTV

    Yup. It's the profit they make on those cables that make the salesguys push them on you.
