    pioneer elite tvs..whats the deal?

    the elites in the past were hands down the best and commanded a higher price. however, in the past year mitsubishi (diamond line) has caught up to the elite on dvd and hdtv at a much cheaper price ($4500 compared to $5500). i will say this, the elite blows away EVERYTHING when it comes to...

    To Warranty or not To Warranty theTosh 56H80?

    i bought the store's "performance package" when i bought my 40h80 only because i'd rather deal with a store that is right down the street (i can go and get in their face) rather than deal with toshiba on the phone (who are well known for poor customer service).
