Thanks for the great input everyone, even though I live near Philadelphia it's hard to find places to view all of the mentioned manufactures wares...

So Then.... What it's starting to sound like is this...you better make sure your investment is right to start with, it seems that there isn't a lot of companies standing behind their product? 60,000 hours really means 30,000 and don't even mention repairing a deminished display, you might as...

Leo, Thanks for the input...bummer! Sorry to hear that the plasma didn't live up to it's claims, this is why I posted these questions. I don't know what to do at this point, I guess I'll have to buy a plasma with a great warranty from a reputable dealer. Do you have any suggestions as to what...

Marty.... I applaud you for your persistence in your endeavor. Don't let comments from the pompous few distract you. Obviously, most of us realize the limitations of technical training provided by the larger retailers. It irks me to no end to see such posts by those "in the know"..."All good...

Hi all, I don't mean to sound lazy, and I'm sure this question has been covered before...thanks for not blasting me...it is my first post and I'm learning as I go. Here is what I'm looking at... 1). Samsung 50" HD DLP HLN5065W 2). Onkyo TX-DS989ver2 3). Onkyo DV-CP701 4). Axiom Epic 80...
