Hitachi 42" 1080 Plasma for 699 (with sears card)

[quote=“skiboarder72,post:23,topic:39033"”]

I guess I’m just coming from the viewpoint that they are advertising the tv as “1080” when the panel can really only display 70% of the pixels of a real 1080p tv. I’m sorry I like to look at the specs on a television. Now I’ll agree with you that most people that blindly compare specs like response rate, color, and contrast ratio’s are being lead along by marketing, but you can’t lie about the number of pixels a certain product displays. I would be pissed if I bought this “1080” tv to use as a computer monitor and find out its lopping off almost 600 pixels on one side…

do you see a P anywhere in the ad? A good 1080i beats a cheap 1080p any day.
