I am looking to upgrade to HDTV and I am attracted to the Dell Plasma 42"
HDTV. How is its performance?
Is it reliable? I probably would go with Dell's 4 year warranty plan since
the technology is fairly new. I also
am looking at a Sony 34" CRT model as it gets high reviews for picture
quality, though heavy and bulky.
Not sure how a Dell Plasma holds up to a Sony for picture quality. From
reading most reviews the Sony CRT may be a bit better picture wise, but the
Dell is still pretty good. Any comments welcolmed.
The Dell 4200hd has an amazing high definition picture. I have had mine for almost 5 years and still get compliments from visitors who have LCD displays or other plasma tvs. The problem I have run into is Dell itself.
Finding parts or useful technical help is like pulling teeth. I live in the greater Los Angeles and, to date, have not found a single authorized repair facility in Southern California.
If I had it to do all over again, knowing what I know now, I would have placed more importance on service after the sale.
