    New Consumer Reports Ratings: Some Real Surprises!

    Rick You are lucky you got your Toshiba plasma when you did! From what I have been reading, Toshiba no longer is using Panasonic innards. Apparently much lower line innards now. Glad you like your Tosh. The one you have is really good, and I have a 65 inch Tosh CRT RPTV.

    New Consumer Reports Ratings: Some Real Surprises!

    Rolando The JVC absolutely deliver the goods, it is not about the number of inputs, it really is about picture quality. Rather than spending the extra $100 for the black bezel, please give this a thought. For probably another $100-$200 (over the silver JVC), you could move up to the top...

    New Consumer Reports Ratings: Some Real Surprises!

    Dan I am not in the market for a plasma, so I have not really looked into the 60 vs 600. I think the 60 outsells the 600 by 40 to 1.

    New Consumer Reports Ratings: Some Real Surprises!

    No problem Dan. This is one perception of mine. BB and CC are pushing Samsung. It is very easy to adjust one set to look its best and the other to look its worst. Consumer Reports has professional video engineers who are trained viewers. Gregg Loewen who is a Moderator on this forum did...

    New Consumer Reports Ratings: Some Real Surprises!

    Dan, my bad, the Samsung is HP-S4253, and is way off the mark compared to the Panny. A clear step below in HD, DVD, and SD TV. For a couple hundred more bucks, (if that is the case), get the Panny. Panasonic is in their 9th generation of plasma. Samsung is a newcomer. Samsung made a poor showing...

    New Consumer Reports Ratings: Some Real Surprises!

    Seth No, not as bad, however, it is a clear step below the top-rated Sony for DVD and SD TV, and reliability of the Westinghouse is a complete unknown. Never the less, for someone on a limited budget, the Westinghouse is a reasonable choice. Rolando I will post the 32 inch sometime in...

    New Consumer Reports Ratings: Some Real Surprises!

    Yes Jeremy But as an example, a Forum member recently got the Panasonic TH-50PX60U and found the on-board speakers (that is what they mean by sound quality), to be inadequate. So he found a Panasonic HT SC 40 system to provide good audio for the TV. For his own reasons, tying the TV to a...
