I've been thinking about a new tv.  What's your thoughts on this one..?

Shit that's a NICE price!

I as gonna agree, but wasn't sure what Panasonic was going for. Guess I'm a Samsung snob for now. Have to say  for a 55" with 120htz... that does seem like a good price.
Panasonic is known for their Plasma, they make the best on the market. PERIOD.  I think they are a solid company though...but I wouldn't go much bigger than 55" without going 240hz.
Panasonic MADE the best plasmas on the market but they discontinued them about 6 or 8 months ago and they sold for more than the retail prices after that.  I have one about 4 uyears old and a fabulous TV but were no longer available when I needed a new 60".   SAmsung's are arguably the best LED's but frankly the low end LED's are nothing like the higher end ones.  New Samsung curved screen is mighty damn nice but $$$$ compared to lower end stuff.
I'm trying to keep the price down.  But your right, those curved screens are nice.  I have a 40" 120hz Samsung in the bedroom and I love it.  I had a 4 year geek protection plan on my old bedroom tv.  They called wanting to know if I wanted to renew the contract, and I decided to have the geek squad come out and check it out before the 4 year contract was up.  They found a flaw in the screen, and gave me a new tv.  They had selected TV's that I could pick from or apply the original price towards a new tv.

Nice!  usually works so that the problem is found 1 week after the warranty is up.

I still have a regular tube tv that I bought when we bought our house 9.5 years ago. Still works like a champ, and has a fantastic picture. One of the reasons I haven't sprung for a flat screen anything yet, I have a hard time replacing something when it still works so well.

I still have my Mitsubishi CRT. Thing was top of the line way back in the day and still runs great. I have to keep it in the basement and play all the old Nintendo games on it. If I tried to sell it, I'd probably only get $20... if I was lucky.
You would pretty much have to pay somebody to haul it off.  I threw out 3 top of the line flat screen crt sony's about 3 years ago, could not give them away.

Throw that useless bastard away!  It does not have a fantastic picture because it does not have the technical capability to directly deal with the HD Digital Signals.  You just think it has a good picture because that is all you look at.  Jeez went thru this same BS with my 90 year old Dad 10 years ago and I finally threw away his POS with a great picture and put a new one in -  guess what he said wow he never knew the new ones were that good!
Nah, picture is great. Both parents and grandparents have newer ones, so I know what they look like. There's definitely a difference, but not enough of one to justify the cost. In fact, my grandma constantly says she can't believe how good the picture is on mine.
