nub = newbie? are you saying owners of pv80 are noobies?

first of all, many people are anxiously waiting for the 2009 model, and many of them have seen the spec of the so called pv8/80 replacement. The fact is that the new model is not necessarily better than the outgoing model, only minor spec advantage. Still the same resolution. First of all, it is not out yet, so no reviews are available at the moment - we don't know how much the PQ has improved. Secondly, the panel is still have the same resolution. Thirdly, why get old model when can have new? - because they have to wait for the new model to come out!

it is either buy now if you need it or wait forever. you wait for the new model.. when it comes out price is high.. wait for price to come down.. in the next couple of weeks people said the price is going down.. wait some more.. a few months later ppl said can get Full HD for the same price.. wait some more.. then comes year 2010.. new models introduced. wait some more.. wait, wait and wait.

yes, pv80 is going to be obselete. any model also going to be obsolete.

if the pv80's replacement is going to be a Full HD, and can be had for the same price, then the wait is worthwhile and the purchase is justifiable.
