Fujitsu Plasma Screens Any thoughts?


I was wondering if anyone has the new Fujitsu plasma(monitor screen only) in their system. Any thoughts on the performance. I am thinking of getting the p42xha58eb model in particular. Thanks

Fujitsu plasmas are generally considered one of the best if not the best, usually followed by Pioneer Elite plasmas. I have a 55 inch Fujitsu Plasma and a 42 inch Pioneer Elite. Clearly the Fujitsu has not only great resolution but very natural and realistic color and picture.

Recently my 2 year old Fujitsu (list price $10,000)developed a thin red line in the screen. A local service center told me that the 3 yr warranty only applies to parts and labor but not the glass screen. I called Fujitsu and they agreed to replace the entire glass screen under warranty (cost $6000) even though the screen was only warrantied for one year (current models screens are warranteed for 3 yrs). They even covered free pick up and delivery from and to my home. I am impressed with how Fijitsu stands behind their products. I also contacted many other service centers with experience servicing Fujitus and they all report that my problem with the screen is extremely rare and Fujitus are very reliable.
I too recommend to dig around the avsforum.

Slightly off-topic aside - As a company, Pioneer is betting its whole life on plasma and the results show in the new "Kuro" monitor. It is fantastic (though a fair bit more expensive than anything else out there now - and it will not save the company from getting run over by the LCD panel freight train).
Try not to buy until you get a chance to see the latest commercial units from NEC.
