any kickass deals on 42" plasmas out there?
 

not looking to spend more than 1500$ for a decent 42" BLACK plasma

know of anything good?

Plasma = not for 1500.00 I would buy 5

yo goig to VEgas?

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

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

Go LCD. 52" Rear Projection Panasonic HD LCD's starting at $1,300

Heh... try buying aaaaa life

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

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

Old technology.

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

yes...1 year old technology. 200,000 people buy them....200,000 people currently have old technology. You are probaly posting and typing on old technology as we speak.

What is your point?

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 need something to put up on my wall in my room

My point is you can do better.

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

Sceptre has a flat panel lcd that is 37 inch that dipslays 1080p and has 1080p input.

are you a videophile or are you an average consumer?

Reread the post. You know the first one....the one that mentions a $1,500 budget and 42".

No, I know what lcd rp is.

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.

I Invented Plasma's Out There.

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

maybe you should also. it says plasma, not lcd rptv

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.

He already got a nice dlp a few months back, he's looking for something for his wall.

The new SXRD are sweet I hear. they are based on LCOS.

Sorry to kind of hijack your thread bdjuf. Go to www.avsforum.com

my dick is at least 4" inches bigger than yours. :thumbsup

argument over.

agreed on the arguement over. I think his thread is ruined...

sorry

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.

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

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

Yeah, probably the best idea in the thread.

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