Well the delivery guys showed up around 12:30 this morning. Got the screen all set up and have been playing around with it a bit trying to figure out the controls and settings. Not sure I like that LG DVD player I got. Doesn't seem to pull in DVD's very well. It doesn't have a tray and just...

Sheesh......... the continuing saga......... Got a call from the driver at 7:30pm and believe it or not, he used the "truck broke down" excuse. He said that they would not be able to deliver until 10pm or closer to midnight. I think he swallowed his tongue when I told him we would be here, so...

Yeah, well I guess I have a problem with someone (person or business) not living up to their word. The salesman that made the sale called today with some flimsy excuse about not being able to get the stand put together in time and wanted to know if delivery was OK for tomorrow. He said they had...

I wish I shared your confidence in Circuit City. In this part of the country, things are just *different* when it comes to quality service. For instance, just a few moments ago I got a phone call from someone from Circuit City. The guy who called asked me if I have received my TV yet today...

Circuit City is also offering a 10 percent rebate on the spot, so the price for the 50 inch model is more like $3600. That's what it says on my receipt as well. I'm kind of antsy waiting for my unit to be delivered tomorrow (Friday). I called the store today to make sure everything was a...

How long will they honor it? I know I have 30 days to take it back to them, and I assume the price match would apply as well during that time period. Let me ask you something..... How reliable are these plasmas? Is it worthwhile getting the extended warranty on them? Or is that just throwing...

Don't know yet. Delivery is scheduled for Friday. The local CC was sold out of them so they had to pull one from out of town for me. They are supposed to get it in on Thursday and deliver to me on Friday. I'm not disconnecting my old stuff until I know for certain it will be delivered as...

Michael, I think I was in the same boat as you are in. At least up until today when I finally went to Circuit City and eyeballed the plasma units they had there. Actually I liked both the 42 and 50 inch Panasonics, but of course I felt that bigger was better. There was an LG unit as well as a...

Well, I pulled the trigger today on a PANASONIC TH50PX50U from Circuit City. Also wound up buying a stand and a new upconverting DVD player as well. So Gregg, how about sending me those calibration instructions? The unit is supposed to be delivered on Friday. BTW, I had the sales guy hook...

Here in Tallahassee, both Circuit City and Best Buys were advertising the new lower prices on Panasonic and Pioneer units. I'm going out tomorrow to eyeball some of them........ Depends on what my eyeballs like as to whether or not one will follow me home. :)

Well, since I don't watch any TV at all, and only DVDs, I can't see where the 500U would be of any interest to me if it were more $$. I am still considering the Pioneer models as an option, after ruling out the Samsung units from some bad reviews I read earlier. I'll be eyeballing some...

Without microscopically eyeballing the specs and trying to compare one detail against another in these two products, what is the real "seat of the pants" difference between them? Why would you choose one over the other?

Actually I have been spending a fair amount of time on the TVauthority's website. I like their 5 star program, as it takes some of the worry about of buying stuff like this. Tallahassee, FL really doesn't have an over abundance of shops carrying this kind of stuff, and I don't think I will even...

Yeah, I know. I've been buying computers since the late 70s, so I know the game of something better always being just over the horizon. Best you can do is to buy the very best that is available NOW, so it won't become obsolete so quickly. I'm probably going to buy something this week. I think...

Uh, you mean I have to talk to someone other then myself now? Well myself also found that BB has the Pioneer 50 inch model on sale for about the same amount. Guess I need to eyeball them and see which one looks better to me. Wait till Thanksgiving? Gee, I dunno..... Then someone will...

Heck, glad I like talking to myself.....:) Circuit City's flyer in the Sunday paper had the PANASONIC TH50PX50U listed for $3,999 with a 10 percent rebate. So that brings it down to around $3,600. Not too bad! So I was thinking about running on over there with my burning wallet to check it...

Well, I don't know how the local CC and BB prices are going to be, but these online prices look pretty attractive to me! PANASONIC TH50PX50U Reg price: $4,999.00 Sale price: $3,487.00 PANASONIC TH50PX500U Reg price: $5,499.00 Sale price: $3,895.00 Guess I'll be checking...

I've been hearing rumors of a price drop on Panasonic plasmas on 08/28/05. Anyone seeing evidence of this? Or are the retailers going to hold the line and use this as a basis for a big Labor Day sale instead?

I tend to like to make most of my purchases online. With higher dollar items, state sales tax can be a significant consideration. But yes, there is the concern about what to do if the deal goes sour. How many people have purchased their TVs or monitors online? Do the shipping companies play...

What about the Samsung models? I've been reading talk that they are pretty comparable to the Panasonics. I saw some models rated at 10,000:1 contrast ratio! I'm really wet behind the ears on this new video stuff and trying to cram for the big test when I pull out my wallet. :)
