they are cheaper, tho they need add ons, like tuner, speakers.. but they're often a nice clean look and have a better picture, so i read. harder probably to do any side by side comparison unless you live in NYC or LA or somewhere, i suspect..

Yep. I have a Fujitsu P50XHA40WS. To my eyes the best Plasma picture available. ~t - three_sox 01:55:28 08/27/05 (7)

  - I stand by what I said. I don�t take too much notice of �hoopla�. I will only �KNOW� when it is available to see. ~t - three_sox 20:55:23 08/27/05 (4)

      Panasonic's plasma division is not a "hoopla" source. I just thought you'd like to see something interesting and definitely newsworthy (ie: 1920x1080 comes to plasma). And as I'm sure you know, if it weren't for Panasonic your Fujitsu wouldn't have near the PQ that it does.

        ........I think the inventors of Plasma technology may not necessarily agree with you. � :o)
        Hi Joe,
        I like Panasonic gear and own a lot of it.
        Panasonic 106cm Plasma
        86cm wide-screen CRT
        76cm wide-screen CRT
        80gig hard-drive DVD recorder
        200gig hard-drive DVD recorder
        3 X 6-head VCR�s.
        All I was trying to say was that I will judge what the higher native resolution looks like when it is available. After all, I have seen many Plasma screens with supposedly the same resolution as the Fujitsu and the Panasonic but look inferior by a considerable margin. IMHO specs CAN�T tell you if a particular model is going to have a better picture than another brand.
        When those Panasonics come to Australia I am sure I will audition one.

        Their two most popular models -- the 42" ED and 50" HD models -- use Panasonic glass.
        The 63" model they had to source from Samsung because they wanted to offer a large display and, at the time of release, Panasonic didn't have their (1366x768) 65" version available at the time. I know someone who bought one of these and one of the first things he noticed was that the black levels were definitely not of Panasonic caliber. And if they actually go ahead with the release of the rumored 80" model, Samsung will be the provider of the glass.
        The 42" HD and recently released 55" HD models are the only ones from the Fujitsu-Hitachi factory and are actually interlaced displays (I know it's crazy, but it's true).

        Hi Joe,
        It is not as clear-cut as you make out.
        �� I am not going to write reams of information about the commercial relationships between Fujitsu �Hitachi � Panasonic � Matsushita. � and others.
        Suffice to say, IMHO in a side by side comparison of the current models between the Fujitsu and the Panasonic of the SAME size I much preferred the Fujitsu.
        Like I said, I own lots of Panasonic gear and have a Panasonic Plasma in my bedroom system. When their displays look the best I buy them. I have found that on a few occasions over the last 6 or 7 years that the Panasonics were NOT the best Plasma Picture available. However, invariably they bring out models that are the top of the tree.
        I am sure you would agree that in the world of Plasma nothing stays the best for very long!
        Thanks, I appreciate your comments.

i've been looking at the panny models. apparently some newer models out now, and, as always, newer newer ones just around the corner... this could be a good year tho. prices are great.

Well, some of us consumers prefer NOT to have speakers or tuners as part of the display since we use external devices anyway.

  with all the complaints I read about manufacturers not making the speakers detatchable, you'd think this was a no-brainer. Obviously not!

There are numerous threads over at www.avsforum.com about members who went with the Panasonic commercial models over the consumer models.
In fact, Joe Murphy will probably tune in here with specific info and links.

  he said while his son was watching an Inspector Gadget DVD on his dad's 50" Panasonic 6UY commercial plasma, "'cause I have no idea what you're talking about.".
