I went to circuit city, best buy and then checked out SEARS and beleive it or not SEARS had the best deals out of all the stores. I bought a 51" hitachi widescreen tv from there and im picking up the plasma mount for my room this weekend when i get my check. But the one im getting i think was $299 anyways… **my point is** … try sears, they might have a better deal on the plasma mount and if they dont, they will match up the price. Good Luck!:headbang: _ **edit: by the way plasma tv’s suck.** _ what brand is yours ---

plasmas last as long as LCD, DLP and any other, thats why… ppl never do any research, and always say, they last only 5 years. lol ---

With anything electronics, there is no guarantee on how long it will work for… Plasma itself has a half life of 30,000 hours, which is when the picture will lose about half of its brightness, and sometime after where is where it starts to have a problem… So lets say you watch TV 8 hours a day, your Plasma won’t reach it’s half life for about 10 years… Again that is just for Plasma itself, not the circuitry or anything… Just out of curiosity, which Sears did you go to? I remember talking to someone on the phone about there 37" plasma they were looking to get wall mounted, and then seeing them in the store… ---

Usually the stores dont calibrate theyre TVs, they turn the contrast and brightness up to make it look good in theyre stores. This has to be turned down to get a real picture, not the shit they have on at the stores. Avia DVD is the best dvd for calibrating any TV. ---

I bought a panasonic 42" plasma about a year ago…it was by far one of the best things i ever bought. Correct me if im wrong, but when i bought mine, panasonic plasmas were 60,000 hours half life…even if it were at 50k, 5 hours a day…thats 27 years!
