Friend has it
(4 out of 5) by Andrew Phillip on Jul 8, 2007Out of the 42in flat screens i have seen this is the best. My friend bought it to replace an older 42in Pioneer he was putting in bedroom and wow this TV is nice. The colours are lifelike, and the blacks are real a real black. If you want a good tv get this or the PDP-5080HD. What i was suprised by was the deep blacks but also the crisp whites. Now when i go to the store that is the first thing to pop out at me, all I see is how white the whites are and the blacks are really balck. Other tv's may have crisp whites but then only give you grey, then if they do black or darkpurple/blue-balck they only give a yellow or bluey white(so obvious tweaking there). The resolution was great even on regular tv signal. When hooked up a blu-ray player it looked amazing, and thought for sure it was 1080p tv.
Overall it is worth the extra money because you can really see the difference. When you buy a more expensive higher quality tv you get what you pay for. My family always had their tv's for over 10-13 years. So this will be the first time I will be recommending to them it is worth it for them to buy this Flat panel to replace their old tube tv's.
We know some people that bought projection tv's when they were coming down in price to where these LCD's are coming now, but 3 years later parts broke and there were a 1 year backorder on parts, and they had to throw out their tv.
So you have to wonder with all these other tv's cheap flat panel tvs that have plastic parts, and plastic casings in the back of them what else are they cheaping out on to get the price down so low? I don't know about you, but I do not plan on replacing my TV like a cheap cell phone in the 2nd and 3rd year. Just like the old days you get what you pay for.
