Hey guys, I am seriously thinking about grabbing this TV in the next couple of days. http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-TH-50PH9UK-50-Plasma-Display/dp/B000HAWAL0/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-4992215-8509630?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1182796004&sr=8-1
If I pick it up before the 30th, I get a free 5 year warranty from Panny. I have seen the consumer model in the store, and it has a GREAT picture, and that one probably isn't even tuned yet.
I am looking for advice from people that have plasma and play a pretty good amount of games on it. I an not really worried about the burn it, I hear in it very minimal with the new models as long as you break the TV in correctly, but there is a bit of a consern there. I watch alot of movies and I have always though that the plasma's had the best picture and color. Does this model have lot of good features on it? I realize I will have to buy a blade for the HD tuner and a few extra add on's, but anyone savy with this type of equipment can you tell me if this tv is up to date? (all that 1080i and p crap messes with my mind)
What I am basically curious about is, people that have plasmas, have you ever had a problem with anything while gaming, watching TV, or Movies?
Is this a save investment, or is it a hassle to always have to make sure you don't leave the TV on to long or what not (I fall asleep alot at night and the TV stays on!) I just don't want to have to baby this TV all it's life, that would become a pain.
Any help would be great.
