I have a friend that is willing to trade 3, 50 inch, 720p Plasma's for my Sony XBR3 1080p 46inch LCD. Do you think that would be a good deal, and would Matrox Triple Head 2 Go be a lot cooler ? Thanks for your replies. Peesh.

Go for it home dawg. 3 alright girls at once is WAII better than 1 sexy girl.
 
Sounds too good to be true...what make/model and how old are the plasmas? I guess I'm asking why this person doesn't just sell the plasmas and get his own Sony 46" 1080p and have money left over for surround/speakers etc..


edit- I am confused about the "Matrox triple head to go" part.....is that a videocard he was using to power the plasmas?

Lemme guess.. you go to the bar every Friday, get stinking drunk, pick up five "2"s to take home, and feel like you've been with a "10" when you wake up the next morning? :D
 
everyone looks goood with the lights out lol...

id go for the triple setup... or save one sell the others and go from there.. up to you tho, your stuff
 
I'll put it to you this way...I just recieved a CC spam ad through e-mail with that same Sony lcd you have going on sale for $2499. Those 50" plasmas (depending on make/model/age) probably cost anywhere from $4000-$7000 a pop when they were new. Unless they were used in a bar or something running 24/7 ESPN and halfway fried...you can probably make $6-8k just by running an ad in your local newsrag classifieds and buy yourself a very nice new tv.:cool:
 
It's an AWFUL deal IMO.... this tiny resolution for those 50'' will be ugly. And if you game plasma are the way to NOT go....

Please think about it... imo your friend would be the winner in this deal.

And also I'm pretty sure the image quality is way better on your XBR, plasma MIGHT have better blacks, but for what your loosing it's not worth it and XBR have really decent blacks....

It's your choice....

How can you say it's an awful deal without knowing what kind of plasmas he's being offered? Also...why does everyone automatically assume that pc/gaming is going to be a factor for a flat panel? Not to mention that nobody says he actually has to use them at all..;)

The XBR as good image quality... The plasma might be better your are right. But to me that deal is like if someone offered my their 36'' CRT TV against my new 24'' 1920*1200 lcd... The resolution lost itself is a reason to not even think about it for me... But I mentioned 2 times in my post "IMO" in my opinion...

If he thinks it's a good deal, then go for it. But he was asking people's opinion. Which i gave.

p.s. this post isn't to start a flaming or to be rude

No no...not flaming but you do seem to be missing the point. I don't think anyone is debating that the plasmas are better than that XBR but 3 50" plasmas can net a pretty penny (a lot of money;) ) if he just makes the trade and then sells them off. However, like I said earlier that all depends on the great unknown (make/model/age/condition) which I think is going to remain that way since the OP apparently abandoned his own thread.:p
 
All he said were that they were Major Brand 50 Inch 720p Plasma's. They are new, but they can't be too good, considering the trade. I guess MRSP for them would be 1200 each or something, about the same price as my monitor, I think he just has a friend who works at a warehouse and he got a good deal on them. I really like the idea of Counter Strike and oblivion at such high resolutions. Really cool. Are there any articles on the internet on something related to this ? Thanks.
 
Well if you like CS @ ultra high resolution stick to your 1080P Xbr.. the plasmas will definately be lower res.. also.. it seems dumb.. even if you do trade.. your seriously downgraded... and youd have to sell ALL THREE to get the money again to buy the XBR3.. that will be a bitch.

And to the person who said everyone looks the same with the lights out.. yeah well tvs light up the room, and 3 shitty looking tvs doesn't do you much good when you can't watch 3 shows at once.

Keep the better product.. sounds like your bud is trying to rip you off.. I think you would be wildly disappointed, especially if you watch HD content or play HD game systems.
