... leaving LG still in the game ... for now
These Panasonic - Samsung & LG plasmas still represent excellent value to the consumer. Remembering that they started out in ED (Extended Definition) - HD was still a ways off, at $25,000 for a 42" set.
Todays 42 goes for under $400 - 50" under $600 and 60" under $999 for a killer picture

Problem to Asset
Jim & Elaine called me a few weeks ago in their new Pinehills condo; Peter; what do we do with the big old cavity for a tube TV above our fireplace?
I came out & measured & saw the opportunity for a flat panel TV with matching soundbar to cover this hole; but better yet use the opening as a place for cable box and Blu-ray DVD.
We started on a plan with Samsung 46" 1080p and matching soundbar; but migrated to LG 47" as the better choice as having a WAY better soundbar reputation.
The SnapAV mount was a great match; all the geometry worked out just perfectly and the TV in place swings left to access Blu-ray DVD and the Verizon cable box. Cord flexibility was a plan; not an afterthought & new black thin HDMIs enhance the easy swing of the mounting arm. Finished with a surge-suppression outlet protecting all components and vertical spacers under the feet of the cable box & Blu-ray allow plenty of ventilation to run cool as a cucumber.
So we have happy customers & happy components. Oh and yea, the Bluetooth soundbar sounds really sweet. A great way to enjoy good sound from movies, Pandora or Rhapsody on today's thin TVs :)
