How does this one compare to the 50 in HDTV that will be 1399 on BF?

11/8/2007 7:11:22 PM

um---- I don't know which one that is (or where)... but this is an incredible tv and of course you don't have to do battle BF morning to get it

also- based on previous history.... the deals on BF are usually for items that they can't get big ticket money for throughout the year- ie: last years "westinghouse lcd"

This TV is still selling for more than $2000 on ebay (with the exception of a couple ads) not a cheap tv.

sorry, but u can buy any new 50" 1080i plasma for $2,000 right now...let alone a used 720P. Odds are, they'll be around 1250-1500 for the across the board after thanksgiving/x-mas

11/9/2007 2:30:40 PM

950.

11/9/2007 2:41:51 PM

Call me dumb but isn't 1080i the same thing as 720p?

11/9/2007 3:03:00 PM

^^^ ? this DOES support 1080i signal and converts/displays in 720p which is going to produce a more fluid image on PLASMA where as 1080i will run better on LCD.... and yes, you can buy most decent "NEW" ones right now for between $1800-$2300.... I am certainly not looking for "NEW" value-


And hitting $1250 "across the board" in 3 months- heh... doubtfull! but, hey! A little speculation never killed anyone right?

"Is 720p vs 1080i worth being concerned about? Yes and no. If you're a consumer looking for a new TV, you can happily ignore the 720p vs 1080i debate because every TV which is described as HDTV or HDTV Ready is required to support both formats. NOTE: You should be aware though that lots of TVs which support 1080i have fewer than 1080 lines and so scale the 1080 signal down. That's not a huge issue as even scaled down 1080i is far ahead of a regular NTSC signal. It is worth bearing in mind that more expensive HDTVs tend to have better scalers than cheaper ones, and this may be an issue. However, for broadcasters it's a live issue. Should they broadcast 1080 lines of interlaced video or 720 lines of progressive scan? They could just broadcast two signals, one in each format, but that would use up a huge chunk of bandwidth and be hugely expensive for very little gain. To answer the question, it's important to understand the difference between 720p vs 1080i. A 720p signal is made up of 720 horizontal lines. Each frame is displayed in its entirety on-screen for 1/30th of a second. This is know as progressive scan (hence the 'p')The quality is like watching 30 photographic images a second on TV. A 1080i signal comprises 1080 horizontal lines but all the lines are not displayed on-screen simultaneously. Instead, they are interlaced (hence the 'i'), ie every other lines is displayed for 1/60th of a second and then the alternate lines are displayed for 1/60th of a second. So, the frame rate is still 30 frames per second, but each frame is split into two fields, which your brain then puts together subconsciously. Most of the time interlacing works fine, but for fast moving images, such as sports like baseball and hockey it can cause problems which manifest themselves as a 'stepping' effect on-screen. Progressive scan signals don't have this problem and so are better suited to sports. ESPN puts it like this: 'Progressive scan technology produces better images for the fast moving orientation of sports television. Simply put, with 104 mph fastballs in baseball and 120 mph shots on goal in hockey, the line-by-line basis of progressive scan technology better captures the inherent fast action of sports. For ESPN, progressive scan technology makes perfect sense.' Bottom line? For us, as consumers 720p vs 1080i is not a debate worth worrying about, so you can relax and focus on all the other criteria on your list when you buy your next HDTV.

save your $$$ and buy a Pioneer Kuro instead.....much much better tv than this

12/26/2007 12:41:57 PM

haha- yeah... Except the "cons" by review are that this TV is too expensive and not user friendly...

So certainly if you want to spend too much on a tv and not be able to use it easily then def. go with pioneer

for $2100-2200, the Pioneer is by far the best plasma on the market....that's not to say the other sets are bad, but if you're at the point of spending that much, I'd rather go with the superior tv....

"TV is too expensive and not user friendly..."

I'm not really sure how easy a tv like this has to be to use.....find a tech page with the optimal settings obtained from a calibration disc, adjust as per what it says, and after that you're pretty much just turning the tv on and off....unless you're running some 1/2 home theater setup where you're using the tv for more than just accepting an HDMI input....

If someone can't figure out how to operate the "Menu" button of a TV and navigate between settings, they're probably better off just paying the $200-300 to have some in-home service tech come in and do it...or just not buy a high-end tv


And if you want to spend alot on a tv that lags behind other tv's in the ability to produce a great picture, then sure, buy anything else....but if i'm at the point of spending any amount over $1500, I'd rather get my money's worth out of the set...

I disagree with it being the best HDTV for the money and could form a list of a half dozen better buys but i suppose it is all irrelivant to selling "this" tv.

To specify- I am not trying to get $2k out of this... I would like more around $1400
