Ordered a TV tonight

Of course mine had a rebuild.... I tare apart everything... new contacts for like $5... that one is my girlfriends I think. I sold mine with 100 games, a virtual boy, game boy, supernes and a rare Sega nomad.

My damn Xbox redringed the other day...now I'm playing on a Frankensteined one.... blaaaaah I'm addicted to blackops.

That's is pretty cool. I still have my NES I got for Christmas 1987.

Check out avsforums. Those guys are big on breaking in plasmas.

Every flat panel tv I've researched has "issues". It's really crazy. Panasonic has rising blacks yet u pay for their initial stellar black levels. Samsung had a buzzing issue. LG didn't look as good as those 2 in the sub $900 arena. And these being plasmas. If you will be watching sports I think plasma has a clear advantage.

The wii doesn't have very good graphics IMO. Sell it and put that towards the PS3! Lol

I have both a PS3 and a Wii. Had the PS3 a lot longer, but I think as far as the "fun" factor, the Wii has PS3 beat. Of course lack of an HD connection on the Wii hurts it's graphics a bit, however, after you start having fun playing the games it becomes a moot point! I basically use my PS3 as a media extender to play my HD MP4's from my computer.

I used to own a Panasonic 42" plasma myself and it was my very first flat panel. I loved that tv! Little to zero image retention. The only draw back was it's 720p rating. After seeing the difference of blu-rays on a 1080p set, I was convinced. I sold the Panasonic and bought an LG 55" and I love this TV, A LOT!!! To me, the picture is just as crisp as my plasma was but without all the hassles and upkeep of a plasma ie: not pausing movies too long or leaving game screens on..etc...

On a side note, my father purchased a 50" Samsung plasma last year and he hates it. It you watch like 5 minutes of the weather channel it will have some nasty IR in it. Everyday he has to use the bar to get rid of them! bleh....

The Wii only supports 480 resolution, so not high def. but it will still look ok because its cartoonish. You will like the PS3 when set to 1080. I used to have a 46" Gateway plasma (2003 model...lol) but it started having problems and recently bought a 120mhz 55" Vizio LED-LCD. Holy damn it's huge and less than 2" thick. With a tv this size we needed to upgrade our cable service to HD because the screen gets too fuzzy when stretching 480 lines that far unless you are sitting over 15 feet away or so.

You can get a RGB component Wii cable that allows you to set it to 480p instead of standard 480i that helps it a bit
