You know Coby is the OEM for a LOT of the name brand products you are buying, right?

no, they make their own bezels and chassis, but they use samsung and various others for panels and boards.

problem is, if you need support- you wont get it with coby. trust me.

Let people enjoy their sub-standard lcd crap. Horrible motion coupled with absolutely shitty black/gray ranges. It's been my experience many people are absolutely blind and don't notice anyway.

And this idea that plasma sets are somehow using 'lesser' parts than lcds, what exactly are some of you smoking?

There's no contest here. Plasma TVs offer the best picture quality, at a lower price point than lcds in the ranges they compete in.

These people buying lcds are the same ones who leave on all that digital noise reduction crap, all the dynamic contrast adjustments, and everything else that helps to make lcd inferior in the image quality department. They are literally blind.

Tell us how you really feel.

Local dimming dynamic contrast on high end LCDs can indeed produce an amazing picture. Grouping all LCDs or all Plasmas when making sweeping statements is self-defeating.

//my local dimming backlit LED LCD is wonderful
//some plasmas are also wonderful

So, I ended up finding a great deal at the local Sears on a Panasonic TC-L47E50. Got it for $597. Bit more than I was originally planning, but I am quite happy with it. Sears was getting rid of last years models, and this was the last one they had of this model.

Regarding plasma's, its good to hear they are much better than before regarding brightness and such.

I have the 42" version of this display... it is half @ssed at best. I bought it simply because a 42" plasma is next to impossible to find (panny plasma).

You should have gotten a plasma
 
Samsung for one.

Just grab the FCC id's off your devices and search for them on the FCC website. You will learn who the OEM is.
