It would also be interesting to find out what people have in relation to their HD format of choice, since less than a handful of LCDs can even be arguably as nice in picture quality as a plasma.]]>Dec 19th 2007 8:33AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/
For less than $1300, you can't find a better set at that size. I love plasmas.]]>Dec 19th 2007 9:03AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/Dec 19th 2007 9:07AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/Dec 19th 2007 9:58AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/
i also sit about 10-12 feet away and don't see much perceived benefit to going to 1080p (at least at 42"). 58"-60" would be a bit of a stretch for my room, so if/when i decide it is time to upgrade it will probably be in the 50" range.

i've done a (very) little bit of browsing at the kuro's, but i was not totally impressed with the pdp-5080hd i saw at best buy. i need to check it out somewhere else, but i am just looking right now. i'm not ready to put down $2k plus when my panny still looks great. and for over 2G's i'd like to be getting a 1080p set for that kind of money.]]>Dec 19th 2007 10:08AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/
I bought me a TH-50PX60U so I know exactly what yours looks like, mine's just slightly bigger. I love my Panny. And I agree, at 50" or below, 1080p is not needed.]]>Dec 19th 2007 11:06AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/
Just bought a Kuro in October. While a amazing set. I am already dreading the spring and summer with the amount of heat this bitch throws off.]]>Dec 19th 2007 11:20AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/
Plus, last year when I bought, everything at 50" and up was a plasma.

That new 52" sony LCD look interesting, but there's no way I'd go LCD until they get the power requirements much much lower. I just don't see the benefit of LCD unless you're using it for a computer monitor a bunch or a lot of EA games with the static logo.]]>Dec 19th 2007 11:27AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/Dec 19th 2007 11:35AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/

The only drawback is price and energy use (which is important to me). Glare is also somewhat of an issue.

I started out wanting a plasma, had some friends with Sony and JVC RPTV's and thought about those for awhile but kept reading about various problems on the AVSforum. Then I checked out DLP's and then LCD's for awhile but kept coming back to the Panansonic plasma for overall image quality and because I read so many positive things about them.]]>Dec 27th 2007 1:23PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/Dec 28th 2007 8:54AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/19/plasma-coalition-continues-to-invest-in-technology/insted my co workers should be saying both have advanteges and disadvantges. i know plasma is just better ]]>Jan 2nd 2008 3:07AM
