Re: LG 60PS80 cable is I op
Since Panny is out of the plasma game now, umm... LG. You probably don't like that answer but I certainly wouldn't buy any Samsung plasma unless I got an extended warranty. Maybe if you can get a 55"~60" ex-stock Panasonic 50 or 60 series?
Whatever you do avoid Samsung LED TV. Too many young display panels dying. You think $400 is expensive for a part, wait till you have to get new $1,000 display panel.
Sharp LED TVs are pretty decent if you're set on LED TV. Sharp use their own glass and the panels very rarely fail. Vizio aren't that bad, lots of main board issues though and they use LG and Sharp panels mostly. (LG panels are pretty good overall, Sharp are the 2nd best in the industry for overall display performance.)
Avoid absolutely: Toshiba, JVC, Hitachi, Sanyo and all in-store brands, they are re-badged junk... fit for certain purposes but not as a 60" living room telly.
Costco do a 5 year warranty for something like $60 all in, if you have a membership and a store nearby.
It's really hard to say, because build quality of TVs has plummeted what with the price slashing around LED TVs, manufacturers spending more bucks on Smart features and less on the necessary electronics and panel, and Panasonic giving up on making plasmas, there's hardly any good manufacturers left.
