Still a bit confused
I have been waiting for the arrival of the 50PX600U. I just learned my local store has put in an order for them, so I could pick mine up pretty soon. However, I am still confused about the improvements the PX600 has over the PX60 as it relates to resolution inputs and how this is translated into display resolution and quality. Both the 50 inch PX600 and the PX60 have 1365x768 display resolution. I read Clint's review, which included comments about an improved black filter and a further optimization of the gas structure arrangement, as well as improved contrast and a new digital processing chipset. I understand all of this means an improved picture, but there was also a comment in the review that the PX600 is not expected to be 1080p compatible right off the block.
What does this mean in a practical sense? Does it mean the PX600 a big step forward in display quality from the PX60, but still comes up short of "true HD"? Does it really matter, since there is little true 1080p content out there nor expected any time soon?
I had originally identified the 50PX600 as a great compromise of an excellent picture and terrific value. I just want to make sure that I understand what these improvements really mean since the PX60 is considerably less money. Likewise, it doesn’t appear that spending a little extra will get me that much more than the PX600 has to offer.
By the way, I had originally been looking at NEC and Fujitsu, and this forum got me on track with Panasonic, and I'm very glad I followed everyone's advice to look into Panasonic more closely. I just need a little help as I get toward the final decision.
