Should I fix my plasma?

Your local dealer should be able to explain the differences better than we can here online. But in short the more you spend the better the display a better screen, a better power supply, a better processor. All resulting in a better picture. Also look at the Panasonic website and do the side by side comparison on the format they offer

Ha, Black Friday around the corner and daily deals at the likes of BestBuy etc. Buy new. Your biggest hassle may be simply getting rid of the old set. Price to fix versus new with warranty, not even close.

The companies have different lines which have different features. As a generalization, you get additional HDMI inputs, THX or ISF certificiation, apps, and Internet connectivity for Netflix, HULU, etc.

At a certain size you also get a significant price jump. So around 55"-60" is where you get a much larger price jump vs. 37"-47"

The best thing to do is read reviews at www.hometheater.com or www.soundandvision.com and use those as a guide.

www.AVSforum.com is also an awesome resource when trying to make a buying decision on TVs.

As a general guide, the best values tend to be at the lowest end of a manufacturers best line of panels/series. Don't discount the value of extra size. While one very often hears buyers complaining that they wish they went bigger, one rarely hears complaints from those that wish they went smaller.
