I am on a pretty tight budget, but wish to get a 50" plasma screen. From what I have read, the Panasonic 50" models is one of the better ones in the lower price range (around $2k). I don't care for the silver trim and found a "professional series" that fills the bill, though I have to buy a HDMI module separately. All the reviews I have read are equally good as for the standard consumer model 50". I have one concern I read, and need some clarification, can anyone elaborate? Below is the message I sent to a couple of my more savvy videophile friends: I am thinking of getting a pro series Panasonic, because it looks cool (dark grey frame) and 5 year in home warranty. But am concerned with this statement in a Cnet review: "We were annoyed that the TH-50PH9UK still can't switch <http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7874_1-5140690-1.html?tag=txt> aspect ratios with HD sources, which is an issue if you're watching high-def on a channel that's sized improperly--like a lot of TNT channels--and your cable or satellite box can't change aspects. There are four aspect-ratio choices available for high-def sources." Full review: http://reviews.cnet.com/Panasonic_TH_50PH9UK/4505-6482_7-31986328.html Will the Comcast HDTV cable box handle aspect ratio changes? Or is this not really a huge concern? Or should I just stick with a consumer model, even if it only has a 1 year warranty? Appreciate your expertise, Dave
