In Reply to: Re: Widescreen TV for $2000-3000? posted by GaryM on December 04, 2001 at 15:28:05:
Well, my reasons for the small size restrictions are that I have a limited space in which to put the TV, and I'd rather not have to buy a new rack. Though, I may just go ahead and get a new rack to remove the restrictions on my TV size. Even so, I think it's ridiculous for a 30" TV to be 35" wide.I really don't want a RPTV because I just don't like them. I would like direct view, LCD, or Plasma (though too expensive). Any suggestions without the size restrictions?

look at the panasonic CT30WX50------it is a 16:9 Tube that should fit into your space.
I was initially very interested in the CT34WX50, but I think it is a little too large for what I want. I've tried to find the CT30WX50 with no luck. I can find no information about it online, not even panasonics own website has it listed. Any idea where I can find more about this?Thanks for the suggestion. If I can find the CT30WX50, I think it will really work well. I hope it also has the same features as the 34" inch version but smaller.
I have seen the Panasonic 30wx50 at Harvey and Tweeter, both in NJ, for about $2300. Ken Crane's may also carry in Cal area. As JandR carry the 34wx50 for about $2300, I wonder if someone would sell the 30 inch for less? Also, Samsung sells a 30 inch widescreen for about $2000, but in a very wide box. Meanwhile, I'm looking at a Panasonic 32hx41 at JandR for $1250 (plus high shipping though}as an hdtv alternative to widescreen. Any reaction to the 32hx41?
the reason I know about the ct30wx50 is because I work for a retailer. look for either a PARA Member or PRO Member Retailer. You also might be on the right track if you find a retailer that carries the Panasonic Plasma Line
.
Sony Wega TVs look quite nice. I love my Toshiba Cinema Series. If I were you I'd stay away from LCD or plasma--the quality of these technologies simply can't compete with a tube.You may want to look into RPTVs again. I have seen several that rival the quality of their smaller direct-view bretheren.
I really beg to differ with you regarding the plasma's. true some of the 42 inch versions are not that good (since it is physcially impossible to put 1920 pixels horz. on a 42 inch). the 50 inch versions are far superior to a picture tube. to name two units panasonic and elite by pioneer
