How much would you pay for this television?

[MrsBugi]

Thank you for all the suggestions, I will ask and see if discounts for some of the televisions posted are also available.

With a discount, it will cost me $3500. I think that's reasonable for a birthday/Christmas present (combined).

$3500 is a steal for a Pioneer Elite Plasma. They are among the best brands of plasma you can buy.

If the wife is posting on ATOT then she's a bigger nerd then the husband.

Seconded.

True widescreen HD resolution (the 42 HD plasmas use 4:3 resolution ratios)
50 inches, He'll appreciate the larger picture
Great black levels/contrast
Silent - no fans
At $3300 shipped, you're saving a little money
VisualApex is a fantastic company to deal with. Very good reputation on AVS.

Save a little on Pannasonic + Mount options at Visual Apex

When I move into my new place, this will be the plasma I buy.
You're a great wife, by the way.

the elite models offer the best picture quality of any plasma out there, so you get what you pay for. but i wouldnt pay over 8 for one

What's your viewing distance, how bright will the room be most of the time, and what's your budget?

The Samsung 46" - 56" DLP tvs on this page are another good choice, the cheaper ones are "720p" HDTV instead of "1080p" but on a 46" set that should be fine.

Most AV reviewers say DLP picture is superior to Plasma and LCD, and there is no screen burn-in risk like Plasma has. The DLP sets are also fairly light, under 75 pounds for 46-50", and while not as thin as plasma they are only 18" deep.

Answer Apex's questions and listen to his advise. God knows how many plasma screens he has.

Yes, they do, since they are better than LCDs and brighter than projectors.

Agreed. Apex knows what he's talking about.
