RE: Display Selection Help

I also recommend the Panasonic plasmas. When I was shopping last summer, the Panasonic plasmas were all top rated, going by all the info I could find on the net. It finally came down to the Pioneer or the Panasonic. We calibrated both at the dealer using a calibration disk, and the differences were very slight between the two. Since the Panasonic was some $4000 cheaper than the Pioneer, I couldnt see paying the difference. The Panasonic is great, and I havent regretted the decision at all. Our family room is quite bright during the day, but the Panasonic has no trouble with the light levels. A very bright, vivid picture. Make sure you adjust the display for best image quality. Just google the part number for calibration, or setup, info, and you should have no trouble finding the proper calibration settings. At most dealers, they are just displayed as they come out of the box, which will not be optimum. Wait until you put on a DVD. Even SD DVDs are incredable on the 50" plasma. You would think you are watching HD (at least from 15' away).
