    Im looking for a 50" tv for under 1800 and this looks like a good deal. Any thoughts? Opinions. It doesnt have to be plasma either. I want best bang for buck here.

    Panny TH42px600u calibration

    Really that is pretty much the only difference. The sound quality on the 600 is much better, and it also comes with a PC input if that matters to you or not. However, to some this is a minor difference, to some it matters. Check out the base of the 60u and then the 600u. The 600u pedestal is...

    Panasonic TH-50PX60U Picture settings?

    hey, i just posted the same thing about the th-42px600u. that website recomends the same exact settings. I think they look great maybe, a touch bright depending on the broadcast. I dont know if they would be the same if i had it professionally calibrated but im leaving mine.

    Help!! I got my new plasma and am confused.

    I tried the component cable as well and it didnt send anything higher than 480i, I was under the impression that component could send 480p. Is this not the case? And how come if i hook a coaxil cable straight to the tv it can produce a high def signal but not when i go from the box to the set.

    Did the cable company lie???

    Actually the model im looking at is a panasonic TH-42px600u. So you guys are saying i do need an HD cable box. What is the BUILT-IN tuner for then. And, if i get a crappy box will it degrade the signal rather than if i went straight to the tv??

    Did the cable company lie???

    They told me i need an HD cable box in order to view hd on a TV with a BUILT-IN HD tuner. That doesnt make any sense to me, is that true??
