Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Plasma HD or EDTV

I've been very happy with my 42" Panasonic ED plasma. In stores, the HD and ED units didn't look that different when I backed up 10 feet or so. I mostly watch DVD's, sit about 12 feet back, and don't have HD cable, so the ED made sense for me for what I watch.

I'll second visualapex.com as a great online place to buy a plasma. Great personalized service (when I emailed them with some questions after I received my unit, I promptly got back two email replies and a phone call) and they have a stellar reputation for dealing with issues such as damage in transit.

I haven't really checked out the HD DLP units, but given their price I think that would be another option.

Well, after reading A LOT on AVS forum I went ahead and picked up the LG Electronics MU42PM12X. Shipped, with a stand, I am out $2400. I thought that the price was too good to be true but after reading thoughts on two people that just picked the unit up, I went ahead. Nice unit. I'll let you all know how it turns out.
