Sony KDL-52W4100... 52" LCD 120Hz We just finished our lower level.. This one is about $2100... Decided against plasma because of power consumption and ambient light in our lower level (it's a walkout with three full-size double hung windows). If we get it, we'll pick it up in my wife's new SUV (to stay on topic).

The only thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger on the Viera is a concern about ambient light/glare. The Viera has an anti-glare coating but I dont know if it's enough for my HT room. I think I'll buy from CC when the price is right and take it back and swap it for a Sony LCD if the reflections are too bad. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 13, 2008 6:38 am) Yes, all I have to do is drive my car to Jeffersontown. And you are right about the Panasonic BD player; everything I've read indicates that the BD-35 is the best player out there. All the BD-55 adds is analog outputs, which I don't need.

looks like I finally am getting another car. That's what I get for telling my sister that if she gets a new one I wanted dibs on her old one (hey, it would have been traded in otherwise. I might as well rip her off instead! j/k) anyway, she finally test drove a 2009 TSX and apparently fell in love, since she decided to buy on the spot instead of looking at other choices. Too bad I couldn't get her a offer price sooner, since I expect she paid too much. But she was happy. Actaully, I told her what I found on the prices paid board, and she got them to drop another $300, so it was worth the call. I am getting (or more accurately, my son) a 2000 Acura 3.2TL. 1 owner, no accidents, all dealer serviced. Even just got new motor mounts. They offered 2,000k, and yeah, i'll pay that. pretty clean car. Other than the DS bun warmer not working. It does have 145K on it, but hey, mostly highway. And it was maintained well. Plan A is to get it and sell the 1998 contour and get the kid into a safer car. Plan B is to temporarily go to 4 cars (3 drivers) and try to sell my accord. Then I will drive the TL on my 90 miles/day commute while I look for a deal (having cash in hand) on something new for me. shopping with money in the bank and no need to solicite a trade in quote, especially these days, is a good thing. Now I just have to figure out how to get a car from VA to NJ....

Replying to: michaell (Dec 11, 2008 11:43 am) I have friends coming by the house tomorrow night (going to see Wynona Judd in concert)... I'm not a country music fan but my friends got me a ticket. Anyway, I'm taking the Bentley if it doesn't rain. The little bit of rain we get in the desert is going to happen this week. One of the guys coming over currently has a GTC also. His is has a Black exterior, Black leather with white stitching. This guy (a friend of mine for 20 yrs) trades cars every two years but since he has 5 cars, it seems like he's getting one every 6 months. Currently, he has the 2008 Bentley GTC, a 2006 Range Rover, a 2007 Masserati Quatroporte and a 2007 BMW 6 series convertible and a 2008 Chrysler mini van for his business. I was just thinking, buying the motorhome when I did made good sense as the money in the money market would have fallen more than what the RV is worth (almost, LOL!).... and now, with the new GTC, it's truly an investment.... that hedge-fund that I took the money out of just went belly up!

Replying to: roadburner (Dec 13, 2008 8:21 am) Today, in the BB ad.. 52" XBR6 plus Sony BlueRay player for $2350, interest-free for 18 months... I think this is the deal I was waiting for... Depending on my adult beverage intake at the Bengals game today, I may be going over there tonight.... but, more likely, tomorrow night...

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 13, 2008 6:38 am) I dunno. Based on the amazon user reviews, & my seeing my friend's Panasonic plasma, I think plasma is the way to go for best picture quality. Esp. if it's your main movie-watching TV, & it's like your "home theatre" set-up. If it's more about lighter weight, less energy, & you're not going to sit around obsessing about the picture quality of new DVD releases of Czech New Wave films, LCD's can be very good of course. And if you can't get the 50" TV home in your current vehicle, you might have to buy a new/other truck or SUV as well.......sometimes sacrifices have to be made.....
