March 21, 200818 yr Author Does the room you're putting it in get a light of sunlight? Not a lot. I read about that. The only thing that scares me is 'burning' an image into the screen.
March 21, 200818 yr Author Where did you find this deal? Circuit City. The Panasonic just went on sale today. Actually, I had to go over to Ridge Ave in Cincy. Florence was out of stock. If I would've known, I would've gone to Ridge Ave in the first place. A much bigger store.
March 21, 200818 yr Not a lot. I read about that. The only thing that scares me is 'burning' an image into the screen. I don't think you have to worry about that anymore with the new ones.
March 21, 200818 yr Author But were they the same size? Yes. Both 42". Vizio was 1080i and Panasonic is only 720i but myself and two CC associates thought the Panasonic was better for what I need...
March 21, 200818 yr Author I don't think you have to worry about that anymore with the new ones. That's what he said but I did still see it on page 2 of the manual. There's a new technology that shifts images and scrubs the screen. Seeing it in the manual made me wonder if he was blowing smoke...
March 21, 200818 yr Author I'm looking into one also, but wanted to ask if most of you have yours up on the wall or on a piece of furniture? I'm interested in one of the cabinets with the mechanical concealment features. Anyone have one, or have a source of info? Stickymitts, what are you doing with yours? Currently it's on a stand. I bought a mounting bracket and was going to hang it. Had a buddy call and say that mounting brackets can be found for pretty cheap on Ebay so I may return the $200 one and get a cheaper version. I have a 2 year old and the higher, the better...
March 21, 200818 yr Author Yes. Both 42". Vizio was 1080i and Panasonic is only 720i but myself and two CC associates thought the Panasonic was better for what I need... 1080p and 720p...not i...
March 21, 200818 yr So we'll all be over to watch the tournament for the next couple of weekends. Can't wait for the big game. Thanks Sticky, this is going to be fun. That is really great that you bought us all a new "42 inch plasma" for the games. I'm already looking forward to your superbowl party.:dancingpa
March 21, 200818 yr Author That sounds good. Next weekend you guys can come over watch it also. Oh wait, it's spring break................
March 21, 200818 yr That sounds good. Next weekend you guys can come over watch it also. Oh wait, it's spring break................ Not leaving til Sat. We'll get a few nights in. Be back the next Sat. See ya then.
March 21, 200818 yr Author By the way, I purposely went ahead and bought the mounting bracket and HDMI cable there just to see what I needed. Boy did I get jammed... I'll take them back and save $230 by ordering from the site 98 provided.

March 21, 200818 yr Thanks guys. I went with a 42" Panasonic plasma...:lol: I went to get the Vizio LCD but couldn't pass up the Panasonic plasma for the same price... Plasmas use more electricity so don't be shocked if your bill goes up.
March 21, 200818 yr Author Did you upgrade your cable or satellite to HD yet? If not, you can go get a cheap antenna so you can watch your locals in HD. Seabass told me about the cheap antenna for the local channels. Want to get the games in HD this weekend so I'll be picking that up. Haven't upgraded yet, the wife is working on that...
March 21, 200818 yr Author Plasmas use more electricity so don't be shocked if your bill goes up. To balance that out, I'll be at home a lot more watching TV so I won't be driving...
