Panasonic TC-P60U50 60-Inch 600hz High Definition Plasma $798 + Free Shipping (Ebay Daily Deal) *it's back*

I got this TV from Frys.com a few weeks ago. WOW! First, the shipping was free (otherwise it would have cost $145!!). When the freight company showed up and I saw the box...it was HUGE!! There was only one guy (no idea how he would have gotten it into my house if I hadn't helped him). He did take the box apart so I could inspect it. My personal opinion is that if the front glass isn't cracked, you're probably good to go. I did buy a Squaretrade warranty for it, just to be safe (used 40% off coupon at the time) It's certainly not a PERFECT tv...but I gotta tell ya...the image quality is unbelievable! You can see the most minutest of details! Separate strands of hair. Really amazing sharpness. The glare is a bummer. There is a company on Amazon that sells an anti-glare/screen protector...but it's expensive. I found the speakers to be much better than I expected. Extremely happy with the purchase, and feel 'safe' with the warranty. It's a big 'ole TV, that's for sure. Do NOT try to lift it by yourself. You could break the glass or drop it (and it's a solid 80+ pounds OUT of the box...in the box, it's about 100 pounds). I was surprised that it doesn't put out hardly any heat at all. Get yourself from HDMI cables from Monoprice and enjoy.

Quote from papitosabe : sheit, that sucks...was hoping on getting $300 for that, a dvd player, and the stand....

You will get A LOT more for the stand than you will for the TV.

It's not that heavy, supposed to be 78 without stand, but I mounted them to my homemade stands for my sim by myself. Just a bit wide...lol

They look great all together though. Really impressed with the image.

I have seen brand new 42" flatscreens go as low as $299. No way you were going to get $300 for a 36 tube set and a DVD player.

Three years work so far....overhead being wired now.

Needed to get the displays so I can fly and stay motivated. Was going to use three projectors, but lost the room in the house to our home theater, so I got stuck in the third bay of the garage (not complaining, I like the theater). Anyway, no room for the projectors now so went with three 60's and since these don't have all the bells and whistles, which I didn't need, and the price point was right ($764 from Panasonic EPP when they were in stock), they work great. Bonus is the image quality is excellent!

I've seen a similar set up like this with the 3 tvs, 3 xboxs, for forza and it was nice too...but this is completely different...

was hoping someone would buy into the nostalgic aspect of having a crt...this thing will be worth thousands in about 100 yrs man... then again, the dollar won't be worth crap either, so it'll still come out to about $10..........

tnks OP.. picked up 1.. b4 I missed like the last time... hopefully be here b4 superbowl...

holy shit

Awesome TV. I picked one up a few weeks ago and the glare is a bummer, but damn, it's a sweet TV.

Awesome sim setup! I'm incredibly jealous!

Here's the official weight from the Panasonic website:

Weight W/O stand [lbs] 70.6 lbs.

Weight with stand [lbs] 81.6 lbs

Gross Weight [lbs] 101.5 lbs.

I got the LG plasma 60 from this thread: http://slickdeals.net/f/5806432-L...up-at-frys

only 699, and kinda surprised it had no traffic on the thread. Bought it on a whim, and floored by the quality. The TV is damn beautiful with the small bezel, and image quality is what you expect from plasma.... simply awesome. Kind of surprised, since I havent been too impressed with LG LCD's and LED's.
