laker1963:Nope. I'm sitting on a 42 inch Plasma Screen. It is HD and big enough for as much TV as we watch. It is an Elite, made by Pioneer. Very expensive but I got a GREAT deal on it and I'm happy with it. I actually purchased it from the US and had it shipped up. As with most electronics these days... research, research, research. Have you done any looking at ratings and such from say Consumer Reports?

Is that elite the kuro? Pioneer makes some good plasma's, the elite puro is on the best tv's ever built as far as plasma's are concerned. I thought about getting one, (not the kuro though) but they are leaving the industry some time next year.

phobicsquirrel:don't forget about the reach around! =p (I work with people who use to try and work for them in their geek squad and tv centers and they couldn't handle the dumbness) Also they lie to people or mislead them consistantly. I went to buy my tv a couple of years ago and while there I wanted to see a few tv's on standard def programming to see what the quality was and after many many minutes of them telling me that it was on std def I finally got them to change that and actually put it off of the HD feed. Plus they lied to my mother about the very same thing when she got her tv then refused to take the tv back. I can go and on about them....

I didn't have too, she eventually got it returned but it was a real pain. But I do wander in the store some times to poke fun at them. I've caught them in a few lies or just ignorant words. One was my favorite, cat 5 is no longer sold but they have cat 6, asking what the difference was I was told that it has an extra wire that make downloads faster. I snickered and said, no, it's how many twists per inch. That look of dumbness was glazed over the person's face. I later found out it was a lead installer at geek squad.
j0z3r:I liked it, it tasted less like a Gurkha and more like a normal cigar, good flavors too.
