If you're like me and you don't buy big ticket TVs every five years...take your time on this selection. Be sure the folks here will have an opinion on anything, lol!
I like going to my local BB with the Magnolia's, because the HT showroom is darkened and you are left alone to adjust sets to your hearts content. Most of the displays in show rooms aren't properly adjusted, with brightness and contrast turned way up and annoying processing "enhancements" engaged.
FYI, be careful of judging PQ when its showing digital animation. Cars, The Incredibles, Shrek...they all look fabulous on digital displays and that tells you nothing. Try to look at displays showing source material you're either familiar with or simialr to what you watch. I bring along DVDs of my fave torture tests - Dark City and Master and Commander.
All we're asking is that you consider plasma. Several folks here have used the Panasonics and been very happy with the PQ and perfromance. I think they are probably the best bang for the buck hands down. If I had the scratch right now I'd get a Pioneer Kuro. But I don't.
You look at them all and decide what looks best and fits your needs. After you ask us, of course, ;-)
