hi folks,
if I were hanging around here I'd tell posters like me to "go search"
but I haven't been around for years, and I'm not having much luck with the Google (cnet review doesn't seen to be interested in movies ???? none of the reviews I've read talk about the "movie" experience -- they seem much more interested in looking for "noise" and "flaws" and "blooming" (whatever that is)...
what I'm looking for is a 55" or larger
MONITOR
Yes, I want a MONITOR: I don't want a "TV"
I am not at all interested in "TV" --- NO SPEAKERS PLEASE !!!
I do not want a bezel at all -- but if it can't be avoided, it must be black or dark grey, not glossy, no logo or a logo that can be removed, no lights, knobs, buttons, etc...
would prefer a very flat mount and lightweight.
cost no object.
objective: i like to watch movies, and i don't want the mechanicals to say "look at me" in any way at all. i have all the audio -- i just want a nice monitor that doesn't get in the way. off-axis viewing is important (the wife won't let me put the couch where it belongs).
so ... it's probably a plasma ... 55 to 65 inches ... but they are so fat and heavy ...
anyone direct me to overweb reviews ?
cheers,
petew

I'd say go Kuro, but you won't find one anymore. The Panasonic Pros go up to 110", that is if cost is no object.
--eNjoY YouRseLf!.....
Panasonic's latest is 150" of plasma technology, but the 103" would still be a nice alternative.
Just go to the local dealers and check for yourselves. I did so and found the new Sharp TV's with the quad pixels looked much better than anything else.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
I like monitors -- I don't need the noise, I can make my own noise.
I bought a Panasonic professional plasma monitor about 10 or so years ago, and bought another one about 4 or 5 years ago.
What's great about the pro models is:
they have a very thin, non-reflective bezel.
they have a "logo" that you can easily remove
they have no lights, buttons, decals, etc.
they have no internal amps/speakers
they have "pro" menus that offer lots of "tweaking" adjustments
I can't seem to find the pro model Panasonic monitors anymore ... anyone know where they went ???
I'd love to have a large, state-of-the-art plasma monitor, but do you need to be a tv studio to get them now ?
Just posting to agree with the preference for the Panny commercial monitors. I have a 6 year old 50" plasma (720P) that is still near s.o.t.a. from anything I've seen in my neighborhood of friends. Just like with higher end caliber audio equipment, they are transparent to the source - garbage in/garbage out. With a great bluray video source disc, I have no desire to upgrade to the latest technology. Until/unless the major cable & satelite providers clean up & improve their video quality, I am content with what I have.
You might poke around at AVSforum.com for some ideas as well.

By the way, you said Panasonic's broadcast model plasmas do not have internal amps -- they do. They just don't have speakers. The internal amps can be connected to your own speakers via the monitor's speaker output terminals. As for a 65" broadcast model, it runs about $4.5k from the two vendors below.
Two reputable online dealers who carry their monitors:

(consumer and broadcast are on the same page, just look for models that end in 20U or 12UK )
