Had our Panasonic set delivered on Saturday. My only regret is not going with plasma sooner! Everything looks amazing on this thing, very pleased with our purchase. I also completed my transition to Centurylink DSL service, no change as far as the VOD is concerned. I am running at 37.5 down and...

Thanks for the advice about calibration, I will research the calibration discs and use the THX setting. About the heat, we are in Phoenix so I know where you are coming from. We lived in Ft. Lauderdale for about a year while my partner was on a job there, I definitely don't miss that humidity...

I'm sure it will be great. Everything I've read seemed to point toward Panasonic, and it was one of the highest rated online. Now I just have to decide if I want to pay Best Buy $250 to "professionally" calibrate it. I've never had dealings with their Geek Squad employees.

The PQ was not the only issue. My VOD still does not work, and it took 2 weeks for them to decide that it is a known issue that will be fixed via software update. Since the techs tried to downplay the PQ, the main reason they were dispatched was for the broadband problems. Plus, it took 4 techs...

Thank you for the reply. I went ahead and ordered a Panasonic TC-P60GT50, it will be delivered next Saturday (could not find one in stock locally). A tad more than I wanted to spend, but easily justifiable as this is a long term investment. I normally spend my tax refund on toys anyway :p.

That sucks about your house getting broken into. Yes, it is good to know that they all carry that feature. I didn't really look at the 60 inch, but maybe I should have. I'll take a closer look at the Panasonic line as well.

I must say, the plasma sets definitely look nicer...even in the store. The LG 50PA6500 stuck out with it's $599 price tag (promised to keep this purchase as low as possible :p). While it is not a smart tv, it doesn't really matter since my bluray player has all of the streaming services. The...

Very cool, thank you for the advice and info.

I have heavy curtains that completely block the light, and I have my TV set up to where there is never any glare. I definitely prefer dim lighting while watching TV, its much better on my eyes. I'll take a look at the LG's too then, I will probably head back to best buy this afternoon to see...

Thank you for the opinion! This one caught my eye Samsung PN51e550D1FXZA.

Update: Still looking better this morning. As far as the motion blur, I imagine the only sure fire way fix that would go with a plasma. Never owned one, but I am looking at the them online...wow much more cost effective and seem to carry the best reviews. I may just have the LG repaired, donate...

Yep, guess so. Unfortunately that doesn't account for the VOD problems...but hopefully the switching ISP and or update from Dish will rectify that :). I am noticing some picture distortion on the new set, but only during fast movement. When the picture is still it is very nice, so that tells me...

Pixelating and jumpy picture via Joey on the 55in. I had the same channel going on both TVs and there is a distinct difference, wish I had 2 blu-ray players to test that as well. My partner said his hunting game on the 360 looks less laggy and jumpy, I cannot comment on that because I have not...

Hooked up the Joey via HDMI and the TV is claiming there is no input. Do I need to hook the composite cables up and then switch to hdmi through the Joey?

Ok, not sure what happened here. Tried to post and it would not go through, so if this is duplicate I apologize. New display is not pixelating while displaying Dish, I have no idea why but there it is. I said the PQ was not outstanding, but on par with what we had through Cox is acceptable. It...

Went from 8 feet away to 9 feet away. New TV: No difference on 1080i, but with the Hopper set to 720p it looks better (smoother). The orignal TV: Same on issues on 720p as on 1080i. Could there be an issue with my original TV not accepting the 720p when the Hopper is set to it? EDIT: 1080i...

I understand, I was just surprised that moving slightly farther away made the 1080i (Dish) look so much better. We have been talking about upgrading our second tv to HD for a while now, so we are going to pick up a new tv this evening. Before we hook it up to the joey, I will hook it up to the...

I figured it could not hurt, but as expected no noticeable change. While I am waiting for the TV tech I have managed to put another (roughly) 12 inches between the TV and couch. That seems to have made a difference. So, I'm guessing it very well could be the TV then. Yet it still bugs me that...

Thanks everyone. The executive did offer to swap our equipment for the 722k, but that was based on the streaming issue...he didn't mention if he thought it would increase the PQ. I have been considering it, but if it doesn't make a difference idk how much of a pain it would be to get the...

BTW, the menus look sharp and clear since the line change as well.

Ok, well fingers crossed that switching to DSL will help the streaming issues then. With Dish offering an additional $15 off per month (total of $45), it makes it allot easier to deal with while they try to figure out what is going on. I guess they will be contacting me within the next week to...

Quick question, how much truth could there be in Dish saying my ISP could be to blame? Regardless I am switching to Centurylink next week because I can get the 40mbps plan for less than the 18 (usually more like 20) with Cox, so its a no brainer. I have my fingers crossed that it may perform...

You know, I do find it odd that I am running 20mbps down on my wifi devices but the Hopper will not go above 10 via ethernet. Anyway I got a call from another executive customer rep who assured me that the VOD is a known issue that is being worked on, and offered us an additional $15 off per...

He said that moving the Joey would have been pointless since he replaced the hopper, oh well. We are trying to avoid going back to Cox for TV at all costs, so I am asking friends and neighbors about Directv.

Well the executive customer service guy offered me 2 options. He can lower my rate, or waive my etf since it is a new install with confirmed unresolved issues. Going to talk it over with my partner and decide what the best course of action is.
