JJ's Year 12: First Year of the New HT in a New House - Page 22 - Blu-ray Forum

Yea that sounds like quite a good deal to me. No problem...I've fiddled with this tv so much I know it back and forth.

I'm actually supposed to be selling my speakers tomorrow but I'm having second thoughts about it now...I dunno what to do?

crackinhedz · 01-31-2009, 02:51 AM

yeah, that looks different than mine. Like I said, they probably revamped it.

...glad I got mine when I did.

EDIT: thats a 37", I have the 32".

The Icons? Your trademark?! Nobody else owns those here! What's the replacement?

DBlackGT · 01-31-2009, 02:57 AM

I know I know... I really do love them a lot. And I didn't even really want to sell them but I put them on craigslist just to see if anyone would want them and now I got a guy supposidly coming tomorrow. The whole reason I was thinking this was because I went to my local high end shop to look at their new showroom and there was the speakers I want...a full Paradigm Monitor 11 and cc-390 setup.

But now after really thinking about it and listening to my speakers some more I'm doubting why in the world I need (actually want) new speakers haha.

I got my wife talked into a new TV in approximately one year, I got her a trip to Hawaii with her grandma in return.

Hopefully one of the new generation Pannys....

HA! Mine was a new tv next year in exchange for a kayak! My wife better not read this or she'll want to renegotiate!

JJ · 02-07-2009, 09:55 PM

The 50-85 Panny should be in by week's end, I hope. In any case! I did the bedroom setup. Can't inwall wire at the moment, unsure if I want to go through all that in a house I rent, and in my bedroom. Got the rears mounted on mounts (lol) on each side of the headboard of the bed.

Anyway: Old setup: Sanyo 17", Coby CD player:

New Setup: Samsung 32A330, Pioneer 2920 (read my sparkling review here: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=84789 ...it's a great read), new stand, and I threw in that Wall-E poster in place of the shelves I had there. Re-arranged a bit. Put the PS3 in there, too - but I alternate its placement from here and the BR.

With no TV in the living room since I sold the Philly, this has been my sanctum sanctorum for movies the past few days! I'm well aware that placement in here isn't optimal, but I was going more for aesthetics than optimal sound. That's what the living room is for.

Beta Man · 02-07-2009, 09:57 PM

NICE lookin' setup...... when does the new t.v. arrive?

JJ · 02-07-2009, 10:06 PM

Friday.

PS - can someone ban this POLK805 character? Obviously a multiple-account chap.

Especially, looking for owners of the TH-50PZ85U and the PN50A650 - these are the sets I'm interested in comparing.

Stats look similar, going to personally see them one of these days.

I've done all the reading and reviews, just wanting to hear from you chaps.

I cancelled my PZ85U order until I do more research. I realized I jumped the gun before my usual research process of electronics. I was highly upset when I realized this.

The 5020 is still an option, although it would require me to return my 32" Samsung bedroom TV. Which I would prefer not to.

Going 46" is also a consideration, but...I'd prefer the 50"!

Budget glimmers around $1,600; LCD is not an option. Dang research. Fun! The 46PZ800U also is tantalizing, but again, size...

I just wrote that. I didn't do enough research. And now I realized the 85U is out of stock on Amazon anyway. So, I'm TV less until I do all my research. Shame.

But I will NOT make an uninformed decision.

DBlackGT · 02-09-2009, 05:56 PM

I would personally go with the Panasonic (and thats not because I have one). I had major issues with the Samsung plasma's and probably wouldn't go back. My Panasonic has been absolutely amazing and love it more everyday. I think you should just pull the trigger and get one, besides its one thing when people give you their opinion but the fact that the 85U made the cover of Home Theater Magazine and they called it "plasma perfection" and rate it as a top pick and one of the best tv's of 08' sure is something else

JJ · 02-09-2009, 10:08 PM

Well, I returned the bedroom 32" TV.

Now for research.

JJ · 02-10-2009, 03:30 AM

Pioneer 5020, you're mine.

To heck with the Panny vs Samsung debate, I returned my 32" bedroom TV, and had to get it.
