Plasma HDTV, who has one, and what do you think?

I'm just stating what I read from CR. I really trust them for buying things. I have considered just paying the money and getting all Sonys, which seem to rate the highest. It's just a lot to basically pay double to get the same size TV.

Olevias also seem to rate very high in the budget scale.

Don't know how much you've been out shopping yet, but when we went to the local BEST BUY and looked at many brands. Clearly there were a few that were better quality, but the price was crazy high for what you got. SONY was one of those brands.

Look around, go out and kick tires. You might find buying that big name is not worth that inflated price. WE DID.

You can find an extremely HIGH END QUALITY, HD PLASMA TV, without the big name at an affordable price. And the prices continue to drop.

I lost all trust in CR several years back for a rating they did for the best priced term insurance. The Co. they rated as the best is about the worst in the industry and it was a total joke. They also did another report which I knew they could not have done very much reserch on the subject.

Consumer Reports for financial advice?

They're the best around for cars, electronics, and "stuff." But they're not the first name I think of for anything financial.
