Buy LED, LCD or Plasma


Going for a new TV. Any hints, warnings or advice? It will go over the fireplace instead of the rug there now.

Thanks guys, looks like all of you are pretty much in agreement with each other and the stores I shopped locally. The people there also say Pioneer and Panasonic plasma is best picture.

Albert try to find the Pioneer KRP-600M. This is a 60 inch plasma and is the last model they made. The blacks are way ahead of any Pany out there. Don't worry about Pioneer out of the business. If you want the best this is it. I paid 3200.00 for this with free shipping from a NY retailer about 3 months ago. They have an extended warranty and will replace it with an appropriate new model if it breaks. They sell Panasonic as well.

Can you say who this seller is? That price is close enough to what BB is asking for to 58" Panasonic for me to look.

That is a fair statement.
I am also going to say "Plasma".

I bought a Panasonic TH-42PZ77U Back In 2007...... And after three years of use, so far I haven't been disappointed......

If you are a Movie Buff or a Sports Connoisseur, Plasma is the ONLY way to go

Panasonic and Pioneer are the class when it comes to Plasma TV. Pioneer is on the way out from what I understand. So, if you want a Pioneer Kuro, or a Pioneer Elite Kuro, you better get yours now before it's too late. Because after Pioneer ceases their Plasma TV Operation, the only brands that will be left after that will be Panasonic, LG and Samsung.

Good Luck and Happy Shopping....

Please check out the Samsung UN46B600 or the UN55B8000 and the new wall mount WMN1000b. Is it a flat screen or is it a picture frame? Yes, it's about 1 1/2 " flat and the wall mount is abt another 1" from the dry wall.

Better yet, the home gallery media will allow you to set you TV as a giant screen saver filled with awesome pictures and music.
As best as I can tell from your "systems" photo, a 58" will be way too small for your viewing distance. I refer you again to: http://myhometheater.homestead.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html
