Charlie,
You don't have to mention the name. I think it starts with S and ends in Y.. I think they are about 15 miles east of you and 15 miles west of me. Mebbe could have formerly been a soon to be Chrysler plant, eventually a VW plant, and now a you work there plant, with a moonshiner to come across the road in the near future.
(OT, THEY are going to make BILLIONS of dollars, with 4.35 a bushel corn and E85 going for a buck 90.)
Anyhow, my kids have a panny 42 and an LG 36 Plasma, (the s'in law's dad bought them before he passed away) and they both look pretty good, though I don't need anything like that.
I think you have quit the tube type business, so what do you reccommend for a 20 inch LCD, bedroom type set? I'd go buy a 20 inch flatscreen tube type, but I have a bad back, don't know if I could carry it up the stairs.
Mebbe, since I bought a 19 inch LG monitor, LCD, which I like a bunch, I should just buy another of them, 8 pounds or so, and take one of my computers, with a video capture card in it up there, too.
I know it is subjective but the 19 inch LCD looks to be twice the size of the 17 inch tube type monitor. 8 feet closer than the 25 inch Sanyo, but looks close in size. That one's an oldy, too. Worn out 5 DVD players on it so far, it keeps on ticking.
Cheers,
George
edit,
The LG brags about a 4 ms refresh rate, so the post above me should look to see what it was on his. They go 8 and above. Yes, you will see blockiness and the like with slow refresh. One reason I bought this model.
You gots to read and UNDERSTAND the advertising.
Price has little to do with it. You can buy a 1000 buck monitor with a slow rate, or a 300 buck monitor, OR TV, with a fast refresh rate. You can't bitch after the warranty expires.
Read, read, and read more. You will NEVER learn too much, especially when you are spending big dollars on such a trifling thing as a TV set, whether a 5000 buck plasma, who in the hell really needs that, unless you are such a narcisist that you HAVE to have the best, or a hundred buck 20 inch tube type.
I'm happy with my 10 or more year old 25 inch Sanyo. So sorry you are unhappy with yours.
