Better picture for a room that is set up perfectly for it. and MUCH cheaper than LCD or LED.
Has anyone gone to the OpenBoxTVs.com warehouse? on their craigslist ad they said they have 3 65" plasmas for 720 each. They are in hopkins, so i may just swing by to see what they have.
ya i went there, all of their t.v's that they say are a good deal are broken in some way. And those 3 60" tv's they have are the "older" projection tvs. I would avoid that store.
And i would go with the samsung.

My mom's Panasonic Plasma died after 2 years. Sucks because 2 years is when the oem warranty expires. Went online and this has happened to a ton of Panasonics. Really sucks for my mom as she finally decided to put up some money for a nice new TV as she'd been rocking the 32" CRT for something like 10years or so. So she spends a bunch of money on a nice 42" Plasma Panasonic, and it dies after 2 years. I tried to fix it for her after researching online, but it didn't work. So now we have a nice paper weight sitting in my spare bedroom.
I won't ever buy a Panasonic TV after reading about their lack of a response to similar situations with a ton of their TV's.
I love Samsung however. My g/f's LCD one is awesome. I'd recommend Samsung personally over the Panasonic.

The Plasma's have come a long way. From what i have heard the Panasonic's have little to no burn in. My tv aint that old, but it has already had about four 6 hour gaming sessions of Medal Of honor on it. And afterwards not even a hint of burn in. Even so they do have a whitewash type setting that will take care of most of it.
I do realize that every manufacturer is gonna have issues. I was just pointing one out. My Brother in law has also had a bad experience with his Samsung LCD. And i am sure Panasonic has its downsides too. Every place i went here in town Recommended the Panasonic for the Plasma. BUt than again, all I got here, is Best buy, Sears, and walmart.
I also got an extended 4 year warranty on mine just incase anything happens.

Tom, I understand the point of you wanting to save money, but why not wait until Black Friday and get something brand new for about the same price? The saying "you get what you pay for" still exists.

Also Samsung makes their own displays and they're superior to everyone else. This includes their phones, their monitors, their TV's etc.

Love my Samsung LCD! That said most places I have been to say Panasonic and Samsung are the top Plasma places. I am also going through a similar descision. But I am going to wait until Black friday to buy the TV and see what deals come up, I have also heard it will be crazy good deals this year.
