Sanyo DP42545 vs. Panasonic TH-42PD50U

[Jim1648]

I bought the Sanyo DP42545 at Wal-Mart earlier this week. I was reluctant
to buy it without having seen any reviews yet, but I wanted to see what
$2,000.00 would get me in a 42" plasma. I had also tried the Sylvania
6842PE 42" Widescreen Plasma Display, but I returned that because I decided
I wanted an integrated tuner. Anyway, I think that I may have made a
mistake because neither I nor my wife are particularly impressed with the
picture on the Sanyo. I have looked at CNET and they give the Panasonic
TH-42PD50U a pretty good review. I am thinking of returning the Sanyo and
getting the Panasonic from one of the internet dealers. My questions are:

-Has anyone here ever bought a large screen TV from an internet dealer and
what were your experiences?

-Is there much difference from one plasma TV to another?

plasma equals crap

If your looking for the best picture quality your buying the wrong television. A plasma only good quality is that it is very thin but they are very expensive, very unrealiable, short lifetime expectensy, and picture is the worst i have every seen. Most plasma tv's don't even do a true HDTV (1080i) resolution. If you looking for a tv that has the best picture quality i suggest a DLP projection television. The only nice things about plasma tvs are that the are small and you can hang them up any where. But hey thats just my opinion
