[jstasak]

Venturing into HDTV for the first time and looking at two options for purchase. I am looking for opionions and/or reviews of both. I have not been able to find many reviews of either.....

Mitsubishi 48311 versus Toshiba 50H82

Which one, why, why not, what to look for, ....etc
Looking for all opinions....good and bad (especially bad...)


I am looking to purchase on/before this Sunday (Sears is having a Special 3-hour sale by inviation only and some nice discounts).

Feel free to e-mail me directly at jstasak@yahoo.com with anything that you think might help.

What you need to do is put a list of good or bad on each.
Both should be buyable for between 1700 and 1900. Both are the entry level versions.

I own the Toshiba 50h81- same TV but year older.
There are plenty of sights for tweaking these sets.

Are either DVI or firewire upgradeble?
48 vs 50 in. 2 inches makes a difference.

Check out the FAQ post - "If only I'd have known". That may help you compare the two.
