My wife, I, and my son have ben debating about this ever since it was delivered yesterday morning. We have heard a story from a friend with a 70 inch plasma (mind you, this was 3 or 4 years ago) where his tube broke in just 6 MONTHS!!!! Sony told him that it was because he would leave it off then turn it on, and he should leave it on standby at all times. Is that still an issue now that today, plasma tv’s work for about 10 years???????????

We shopped for the t.v. at Best Buy and we picked the one with the best picture. I know the screens are mounted on the wall there, so maybe the distance gave us the illusion that the picture was really clear? Here in our home, there are parts of the screen that look blurry and you can see the blurred pixels. It looks nice at a glance I suppose, but it sure doesn’t seem to look like the ones they have in the stores.

What gives? Is there anything I can do? I messed with the sharpness, contrast, color, etc…and that didn’t help.

i just bought a 50 inch plasma hitachi p50s601 ultravision and it doesent have a vga port but it has a rs232c port so i was wondering can i just buy a rs232c cable and plug in my pc to my tv using that cable ??will it work?and it also has a sd slot in the front i plug my sd card in but nothing i checked all the inputs but i cant seem to figure it out please help thank you..
