5/5
posted Sep-18-2008
I ordered a lot of things online before but nothing as big and expensive a 50-inch plasma TV. Naturally, I was nervous, but I did my research. I hung out at avsforum.com and other online tech sites for over three months reading thousands of comments and reviews by owners of various brands of lcd and plasma panels. After weighing pros and cons of many 2008 models of both lcd and plasma, I decided to go with Panasonic TH-50PZ800U.
Then came the decision of where to buy it from. Mountavison is one of the sponsors of avsforum.com and all (as far as I know) the people who bought their TVs from it gave it high praise. Not only that, Chris who ran mountavision also hangs out at avsforum.com as well. Mountavision, at the time ordered my tv, had the LOWEST price from among the trust-worthy sellers and, on top of that, FREE shipping. I ordered my on 8/27/2008 and arrived on 9/5/2008. If it weren't for the weekend and holiday in between, it would have gotten there sooner. The TV came in the box looking clean of any damages and I been watching it two weeks now. No dead pixels or any other problems observed so far.
What I appreciate the most through out this entire process is that no one tried to BS me into buying things I don't need, like extended warranty or super expensive cables. I already have 1 year of manufacture warranty from Panasonic and 1 year, at no cost, from my credit card company with option to buy extended warranty at the end of the second year.
