I am trying to decide, quickly, between these two sets. Costco has the philips plasma for $2599 through Sunday (1-29-06). What would this board recommend? I can get the sony for 2999 at CC....
Go with the Sony. Sony > Philips.Also sony has Double the resolution and 2 HDMI inputs. 10,000:1 contrast versus 3,000:1.Although the 42HP95(Toshiba) has the same onctrast it has better PQ.Plasma if you wanna put it on the wall obviously.If your going stand get the Sony.
Thanks Marc. There were too many posts of negative comments on the philips so I opted to wait and look longer at the Sony. What do you think of that one?
I think if you visit avsforum.com and plug in the sony model you are looking at into the search function- you will get better information than I can provide from people who own the product. If I remember correctly there were some issues with that set but peo0ple generally liked it. Why dont you try a search over at avsforum?
