Out of the loop--panny?

[mohanman]

Hey guys,
I haven't been to this part of the forum in a while. I appreciate everything you guys have recommended in the past. I bought a panny 42px500u.. it rocks! It is the best!

But...

I saw the new pannys at best buy. They look like crap, the silver looks cheap.

Is panny still reliable? What happened?

thanks
Mo!

A lot of people don't like the silver look of the 60u. The 600u has less silver. The PQ on the 60u and 600u is generally considered to be slightly better than the 50u and 500u. The 60u/600u is too new to know about reliability.

Yes. New generation, some improvements.

Commercial versions of the 9th gen sets you saw at BB will be out this month. They'll have much better looking black bezels (well, dark-gray).

BB won't sell them though.
