After a six month study I was all ready to buy the 50" Pro display (gen8 ) when Panny comes out with the new consumer unit. Where they just trying to piss me off? Don't they know tech crazy people will go nuts?
So I hold off and go and visit the new TH-50PX6OU at BB. Great display-case design looks like it was made for a new Wal-Mart private label. Talk about cheese.
So here is my plan. I found out the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) convention in Las Vegas is at the end of April. IF, Panasonic is going to release the Gen 9 Pro 50" this spring it will be shown there. Otherwise I am told it might intro in September when last years Pro-series Gen 8 came out.
There is no question that the simple black bezel is the only way I am going to have one of these plasma displays in my media room.
So here is a few things I could use some commments on.
1. Anyone know when the Gen 9 Pro-Series Plasmas will be out?
2. Real life Gen 8 vs. Gen 9 viewing difference. Yeah, I know the higher contrast spec and more gradation sounds great. But is it enough to wait another 6 months?
3. Is Panasonic stupit? $3,500 for something that looks like "walmart's best"?
Anyone else waiting for the Gen 9 Pro?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Mike
