Well taking price into consideration and after a direct side by side comparison of a 1080p and a 720p playing what I will be watching most othe time I opted just to get a 720p. It is the Panasonic TH-50PX77U which has the Anti-glare screen. I'm very happy with it as it is 1000 time better than what I had. The DVD player I got is a Sony DVP-NC85H to replace my Panasonic DVD-F65 which made me mad when it didn't want to play one of my burned disks.

I'm ready to watch some football now! Only bad thing is I can't get the ESPN channels for free.

 

Ya know you could have saved alot of money if you would have gotten the Lasik surgery first... then you could have gotten a smaller tv....

 

I agree for the price difference the picture quality just wasnt there. Mine is for the bedroom anyway, I have a 56" in the living room but its the old school rear projection 480p Next year Im picking up a Pioneer 60" 1080p when they come down a bit. For the same size tv that I got but in 1080p would have been over 2K and I couldnt justify the money for the difference in picture. Watching football on espnHD is awesome I got mine when I did for football season too, I was going to wait till tax return time but they had a sale and I would be able to use it durign football season so it was an easy choice

 

my sony vaio pda controls all my electronics...and i can get on the internet with it

 

i've been eyein one of those tv's myself...just 42" though

 

I did get the lasik first (2 days before)... My wife made me get the TV this big...
Actually she wasn't sure if it was going to be big enough..

That's ok I don't need the internet on my remote and I like having real buttons... Curious though, what is the model number on you vaio? Or do you have a link to what it is? It's not one of those $1500-2000 pocket PC jobbers is it?

 

its a $800 refurb jobber(it was a gift)

 

nice TV. let us know how the lasik goes.

 

Ah that's cool. Gifts are nice...

Lasik went well. I can still read the computer.. My eye are still a little dry but nothing uncomfortable or unexpected and it is getting better. Here is the lasik story incase you missed it. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...7&page=1&pp=10
