Default I'm New to the Whole Hi Def Thang

Hey guys. I heard about this site from a good bud of mine. Not as good as I had hoped.

Anyway, I'm currently looking to upgrade to some high quality shit. Now I understand that it will burn a hole in my pocket, but what TV's would you guy's recommend? Panasonic, Zenith, Sony, I know all that shit. But what's the best TV on the market? I want my TV to impress people when they come over and watch movies.

Help a fellow friend out!

What the heck is that supposed to mean? Your bud not as good a friend as you had hoped? Or this site is not as good as you had hoped? I hope you meant the former.

I have seen the Pioneer Kuro Pro Series in action and all I can say is WOW! There may be something else out there, but I don't personally know what it is.

Listing Zenith with Panasonic and Sony tells me you don't 'know all that shit.' Anyway, the Pioneer Kuro Elites are still tops in picture quality. And if you have more money to burn on a home theater, everyone is chasing Denon in that department.

For the best PQ a Pioneer Kuro is what you need. It also depends on how much you want to spend?

If you want to impress people:

Marantz VP11S2
JVC DLA-RS20
Sim2 C3X 1080

Or a nice 9" CRT, like a Sony G90 should be nice as well.

Thumbs down

Dear "Stinky Taint".....Now there is a forum identity to be proud of.......

Anyone who even spends a fractional amount of time at this "not so good" forum would quickly learn that the Pioneer Kuro Elite series are the best you can get for a reasonable amount of $Coin$.....So get yourself a Kuro and impress the hell outta your Homeboys and your Hos'.......Perhaps a bath is in order!

If the coin is not an issue then check out the Runco flat panels A 50" can be had for around $7000.00
