Looking for a plasma over 50" any suggestions?

mikeman · 06-18-2007, 03:35 PM

im looking for something with 1080p and all the features a tv these days should have...price doesnt really matter.

im looking for anything over 50" nothing over like 60"...

DesiGUY · 06-18-2007, 03:54 PM

your post is very generic... after you zero in on couple of brands/models, do more research on them online

anyways, go for it... wud make a nice accessory to your xbox360/ps3

mikeman · 06-18-2007, 04:06 PM

the lg says nothing about 1080p..so im not sure about that one.

i got a panasonic 42" in my room and love it! Ill probably get a 55 or something to replace the old rear projection 60" in the living room!

No....that one is the cheaper, not a 1080p. the one i'm talking about is the PRO-FHD1. I do not believe they have it on best buys website but i've seen them in the stores. The mrsp is 8 grand.

actually a plasma is a poor choice to game with. he'd be better off going lcd if thats the case.

sesegal99 · 06-18-2007, 04:26 PM

yep...spend the extra $ and go Pioneer Elite. otherwise why not just go LCD?

because if he's NOT into gaming, plasma is still the way to go in MY humble opinion.

NoTrash · 06-18-2007, 04:37 PM

oh and the tv i was talking about.....it won plasma of the year..... http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...103030,00.html

mikeman · 06-18-2007, 04:39 PM

Pio elites are awesome, pricier but def. the top of the line pictures around for Plasma.

I suggest you go to BB/CC in person and take a look too just to get a better idea once you have a few models in mind. I noticed you also listed the Sony Bravia 52" - it's an LCD though - and let me tell you, I just got the 46" of it this weekend and it is amazing

But my bro and I game alot so I went with the LCD and I'm very very impressed. The only thing that came close to the quality of it in the stores where Samsung and the Pioneer plasma was much better but not for my current needs.

Viral · 06-18-2007, 04:54 PM

PRO-FHD1 all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SMOKE EM IF U GOT EM!! · 06-18-2007, 05:12 PM

Ive had the Hitachi Ultravision 42'HDS69 for about a year now, and its amazingly clear! Sports and programs look super crisp! And they also make it in a 52 in. I would highly recommend it!

OC Guy · 06-18-2007, 10:51 PM

Best bang for your buck - Panasonic.

Higher end - Pioneer Elite
Fujitsu

You can game on a Plasma now, these are 8th + generation units. I game on my Plasma all the time with ZERO burn-in.

shipill · 06-18-2007, 11:32 PM

SONY

ScBlacksunshine · 06-19-2007, 12:09 AM
