I agree. The PV80 is the winner when compared to the LCD's. As I said, when you take the price into consideration, there's nothing to complain about the PV80 hehe
Last year the Panny 50PV80 (side by side with the kuro) was runner up only to the kuro in respect to PQ for plasma. It was better than the Samsung Plasma and based on price/preformance it was the BEST "VALUE FOR MONEY" HD TV I demoed especialy when compared to the full HD of its pannasonic bretheren (which was very good but not worth the extra peso IMHO).
I was hoping that the C10 or x10 would be distinguishably better then the PV80 but so far in my first demos last week, of those two units, I noticed no discernible difference to the PV80 and in fact they were not in any way superior. If anything the glare of the above were a distraction and left me wondering why no improvements/upgrades?
As I stated this was my first demo with the c10 and x10 and am not admonishing these units in any way other than pointing out my dismay at not seeing any upgrades in PQ or the rest. Perhaps I need another demo.
Would love some comments from the shop owners, dealers, and owners of the above units if it would not compromise there interests.
