I recommend the Vizio, best bang for your buck. I’ve owned mine for over a year now and have had no problem with it at all. I’m hoping my wife will get me the new Vizio HD Soundbar for father’s day. It would be the perfect add on to my TV, plus great reviews

Well I think the KEY to purchasing the BEST one is to see if you have Panasonic or Pioneer servicers in your area….

Because eventually you may need service, and you don’t want to have to drive 200 miles for PIONEER service when Panasonic servicers should be within 30 miles of most cities…..

Think about it….

Hmm, I just looked at the Yellow pages under Television – Service….

And I noticed EVERYBODY states “We service ALL BRANDS”

But they don’t state “We are SUPPORTED by the manufacturer of such and such BRAND”

That’s important to me….if you can’t contact the manufacturer for help on oddball failures, how can you fix it?

I love the fact I can pick up the phone, call Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, Philips and get a real live TV Tech that has answers to oddball or INTERMITTANT failures !

It just makes the down time a heck of a lot less…..

Unfortunately, we don’t do Pioneer….and I don’t think I want to.

And I suspect many servicers have decided to AVOID becoming Pioneer Authorized Servicers….but not Panasonic.
It’s too costly to be one.

Comment on Can I leave a LCD or Plasma TV over winter in a cottage in Wisconsin, exposed to sub-zero temperatures? by A Well Lit Garden

LCD panels can rupture at minus 20 degrees F and below and this type of damage is not covered by a manufacturer’s warranty or a store’s extended warranty. This is usually documented in the neglect section of the warranty.

Plasma cells contain a gas and should fair better than an LCD.

I agree. The next model of Pio Elites will have what is called infinite black levels. While the older models are still light years ahead of every other brand when it comes to black levels. The newer models will blow even their lofty standards through the roof. Check out this article @ engadget and see for yourself.

There is a lot of B-S around on the standby issue. The standby mode on modern TVs uses very little power indeed.
You can buy a plug in power consumption meter (Lidl once had one for about eight pounds) that you just plug into the mains and plug your appliance into the meter, which displays the real consumption.
I’ve tried this with pretty well every electric gadget in the house. My main TV takes under 2 watts in standby – i.e. virtually nothing.

An ancient TV (that I’ve now thrown out) used to take about 18 watts in standby – a hell of a lot.
My Sky box takes 18.2 watts in operation and 17.9 in standby, i.e. almost no difference.
In fact, I suspect the Sky boxes was the original reason for the “switch off” argument. Sky boxes don’t have a true standby, they are still operating in case there is a signal sent to disactivate an unpaid subscription!
I’ve checked the consumption of the various modes of the computer while I was at it.
I’ve even seen in one magazine article a recommendation to unplug your phone charger. In fact, the phone charger (unless it’s faulty) consumes zilch when the phone is not plugged in.

Although I haven’t tried it on a plasma (want to lend me yours?), I suspect the power supply in a plasma is very modern low consumption type. Buy or borrow one of these meters and check it.
If you do decide to unplug it from the mains, I would recommend that you go into standby first and wait a short while before unplugging it.
