I've had a 52" Pioneer Elite plasma for 9 years now, no burn - no lines - still works/looks great.
Mind you, it was close to 20,000$ new in 2000. |

I probably would have purchased it (Panasonic?) due to the "bigger name" instead of the Sanyo. I haven't looked at the specs or anything but still - $800 isn't bad. Dish Network will be here on Wednesday to install my $1800 over two years in channels. Heck of a change from the $15/month basic cable that I now have. |

heh, that sucks. I bought a 3 year full replacement warranty for mine. You better believe it will blow before it's up.
What happens is the tv will be on for ~45 minutes then the picture will freeze. It stays there for 10 - 15 seconds then the TV reboots. Google search of the model number yields similar results from people who made the mistake of buying the same TV. Maybe I'll have better luck in getting mine serviced than most. :( http://jugrnot.com/IMG_6280.jpg http://jugrnot.com/IMG_5855.jpg http://jugrnot.com/IMG_5856.jpg |
Well, we are a few days into our new TV project and I am definitely impressed by the picture. The TV looks fantastic and I enjoy showing it to people and telling them that others have said the TV was crap and the picture would be horrible <G>. I am pretty upset that the Dish DVR 722 sucks compared to my Tivos (we have 5 of them). My wife says "oh, you'll get used to it" and "give it time, you'll figure out how to use it" but there is no way their DVR will ever be as good as what I had. I'll probably leave a Tivo hooked up just so I can use it as a TV Guide and then switch back to the dish. We have been working on getting this thing mounted in the wall but I still have some cutting and fabricating to do before the install is completed. I'm not happy that the volume control on the TV does not control the volume on the AV (RCA) jacks on the back of the new TV like our old one did but I will wait until the 12 month warranty is over before I open the TV up and "fix" it.

My geeky brothers swears by sony and samsung when it comes to flat screen tv's. Also says not to get plasma due to the glare and images "burning" into the screen when having the same image up for too long. Just my very small .02
