Re: Plasma TV experiences. What Brands??

Regarding the pic quality issue, the reason i'm not interested in your responses as far as pic quality is that can be more of an opinion based discussion. Yes I do want excellent picture quality AS I SEE IT. When I look at the sets side by side or otherwise, to me the plasma has the best picture hands down. Alot of the LCDs look nice in the store but the colors tend to look pasty to me. Its the reliability issue that concerns me. The picture on mu Philips is outstanding but what good is it if the TV fails to operate. I am definately returning this set and most likely will go with a PANASONIC

Re: Plasma TV experiences. What Brands??

According to Consumer Reports brand reliability data, Panasonic plasma TVs have a VERY low incidence of repairs and serious problems. Among the brands of plasmas they looked at, Panasonic was best (2%) while Philips was the worst (8%).

My 42" Panny worked perfectly out of the box and has yet to have any issues. YMMV.

Sparks, NV		 I agree Boulder. Plasma televisions color seems more natural and the lighting does as well, in my opinion of course. LCDs color looks more manufactured and the brightness seems over stated.
