| 173177 | 2003-09-05 06:56:00 | Just about to fork out $10,600 for 42" Phillips Plasma Screen with Panasonic Home Theatre..:) A lot of money - too right. On Retirement and our main interest s watching TV ( boring I know but hey!);) Worked a long time for our bucks and want to make the right decisions. Any ideas?????????? Small Waikato town would it be cheaper to buy in Auckland or Hamilton. |

| 173178 | 2003-09-05 07:02:00 | 10 grand for something with a 4 year lifespan?...my guess is you will be retired for much longer then that | metla (154) | ||
| 173179 | 2003-09-05 07:18:00 | Get either a decent projector, or rear-projection TV. Plasma isn't all it's cracked up to be. Plus with home theatre, if you are serious about getting the best performance, I suggest saving the money from your TV and putting it into a decent standalone component package. Lo. |

| 173183 | 2003-09-05 07:48:00 | Yes a decent projector is a better idea. Much better price, and you can project it onto a big wall or screen thing. Then you can spend the rest of the money on expensive surround sound speakers. :) Though if I had $10,000 I'd go on holiday to hawaii and fiji for a couple of months. |

| 173184 | 2003-09-05 10:11:00 | A projector doesn't come anywhere near the beauty of a plasma in my opinion. If you want picture quality look at a high-end Loewe available from Sound Line (http://www.soundline.co.nz), in the form of a CRT as they're better at the moment. Grab a look at a FFWD magazine if you get the chance, they're really good. |
