Actually went shopping for a 42 plasma and found out that a "kickass" plasma will run you over 3000 canadian + a nice monthly cable bill to get HD channels.

Cheapest 42 that they have in toronto

lazycash · 01-02-2006, 11:25 PM

You can get an edtv one for that price, but I'm assuming you're looking for an hd one.

You can get one from iBill by simply greasing up your shit chute.

wedouglas · 01-02-2006, 11:28 PM

No such thing as good plasma at that price. Not an HD one atleast.

I don't need HDTV as I will only need to watch DVDs on it
(does HDTV make DVDs better? or the exact same?)

It can make it look better or worse. Depends on the source. Gargabe in garbage out.

Get a decent upconverting DVD player and/or video processor.

I say wait for CES before you buy a TV. Only a week away

I think he thought you were referring to standard rear projection and wasn't familiar with lcd projection.

You can get an edtv one at that price and I've seen some that have incredible picture quality hardly distinguishable from the hd ones. Try looking here

What do you mean old technology? I bought mine 6 months ago, its awesome. I love it. Sure a flat panel would be better, but not worth the extra money to me.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think DLP is a wiser choice. They have trade offs.

Plasma is older technology than lcd rear projection, dlp is your best picture out there for your money spent.

I almost went with DLP. A projector but too many issues with bulbs and the hassle of replacing bulbs....saw the Panasonic at a friends house..spent the same amount of money.

A projector DLP is nice if you have the setup and the patience.

I'm confused by your post, are you referring to a projector or to a dlp tv? The Panasonic lcd rear projection has bulbs also just like a dlp set.

You get what you pay for, but this seems like a good deal:

Magnavox 42" Widescreen Plasma HDTV with DVI-HDCP and VGA Inputs
Model: 42MF230A/3

$1999.99

Yeah I like the new Sonys, but spent the last 4 months comparing all of them out there and went with the new Toshiba 1080i, the hd on it is incredible. Avsforum is a great place if you're willing to put in the time to research a particular model you are interested in.

Woudn't touch a Magnavox, you're not going to find a decent deal at best buy. Comparison shop at pricegrabber and buy online.

stevo · 01-02-2006, 11:51 PM

Panasonic TH-42PX50U 42 in. HDTV Plasma is also around $2k

stevo · 01-02-2006, 11:55 PM

But for $1500, i would go LCD - probably a 37" Sharp Aquos - pretty decent quality...

Yeah, probably the best idea in the thread.

MikeSmoke · 01-03-2006, 12:21 AM

I think Costco is putting those Verio 42" HDTVs on sale for something like $1699 either later this month or next month.
