I love my JVC HD-ILA RPTV. But if I was buying a set TODAY, I'd get a Panasonic plasma.

What I want is an over-head, front-projector that uses lasers as the light source. Only then will single-chip DLP be acceptable, as there is no color wheel--switching from one primary to another is instant. That's exactly what I want. Hopefully this plasma lasts me until I can get one. I'm holding out for the light saber based model myself.

I think light sabers only work for rear projection, as they won't reach much more than a meter; definitely not across the room.

You obviously don't have access to the same light saber dealer as me...

Do you have a costco nearby that you can wander through?? I'm pretty sure they have the Pany Plasma there. At least they do where I live. We do have a Costco, but they only have a 50" plasma. It's very cheap, though, at $629 last I checked, but it's also a 1024x768. Not that it looked bad. OK Charles, I have to ask. As the majority of people who frequent this sight have some sort of strange fear of leaving their homes and communicating with the world face to face, did you actually walk into the store or did you do an Internet search??? And keep in mind that I'm just F'ing with you in fun when I ask, but also being serious at the same time. LOL

Ha ha, this was actual in-store perusal. They've only had one plasma, the 50", for quite a while here. I wish they had the bigger models because I would feel better about buying it from Costco, and locally.

Have you looked into Costco.com? I see they offer the 54" G20 not quite the 60" you were hoping for.

I looked there, too, and I definitely don't want to go smaller than my current TV, which is 60". Going with something smaller wouldn't be enough motivation for me to save.
