But what about all the stress some people go through trying to decide which one to get? The damn thing had better be calming to watch! Something needs to take their minds off the fact that they've lost a few years on their life in the hand-wringing decision process.Of course, there are those people that buy a Panasonic or Fujitsu just so that they can take that stress by the balls and say "fugetaboutit"!

Sorry, I didn't ever see the original article about the NEC. Any quick thumbnail version you might post? More curious than anything else. Don't bother if it is an imposition or hassle but I'd appreciate it otherwise.
on the Stereophile Guide to Home Theater website in the archives or via their Search function. Don't try to find it if $ (and I mean $$$$) are tight. I found my post here from a few months ago, but the link just spits out gibberish now. Sorry.
Where do you live? Here in Colorado where we start at 5000-feet, just about all Plasma screens emit an annoying buzzing sound, much louder than any raster scan 15KHz from a TV set. Apparently, the gas pressure in a plasma screen is affected by our high altitude and somehow causes this loud buzzing. It varies from brand to brand and even production runs within a brand/model but most are loud enough to be annoying. I'm at 6000-feet which isn't high by our standards but it's high enough that I can't be happy with a buzzing plasma in the living room. ;-(
My post was meant to be humorous -- not an all-out endorsement of plasma for everybody.I posted a link a few months back for you. SGHT had some information about what NEC was doing to eliminate the buzzing problem at high altitudes. Unfortunately, it was not an inexpensive solution. Did you get to check it out?
(The link is dead now.)
Hi Joe, if I lived at a lower elevation I would seriously consider plasma and for anyone who can't hear the buzzing at a 'normal' altitude, I think it's the best looking technology available today. Next time I'm in CA I'll visit an electronics store to see if I can hear the buzzing there at sea level. I think LCD technology might be right for me but in a large screen, LCD is even more expensive than a good plasma. So I wait. ;-)
