I've sent e-mails to Hisense support and no response for more than a moth. I've tried all the other remotes I have in the house and nothing works. Any Ideas on how I can get it unlocked?

Great picture but want to go bigger before football season. If I had to choose right now its between the Panasonic TH-58PX600U and the Samsung DLP HL-6188W. Which one do you prefer (movies and HD sports is what I watch? I may even wait for the 1080P 58 inch Panasonic plasma but who knows what the cost might be. thanks I’m thinking about getting something bigger than my Sony 34inch 960 HD tube TV.

Every article is clear, concise and gets right to the point making it an invaluable source for information with all of today's confusion regarding HDTV's. That being said I was hoping to get your advice on HDTV's with the HDMI 1.3 standard. I'm a hardcore gamer and was looking to purchase a new television this weekend (Panny TH-65PX600U) but the sales rep was unable to tell me if it had the new HDMI 1.3 connection (for ps3) (the panasonic web site also doesnt provide enough info). My question... Is HDMI 1.3 really worth the premium it and if so what HDTV's ( 58"+) currently have (or will have) them. How can you tell? As far as I know the Sony KDL-70XBR3 has it but at a MSRP $33,000 its a bit steep. So, what in your opinion is the best HDTV for a $10,000 - $13,000 budget? Or can you at least point me in the right direction. I see alot of info on lower end TV's but not enough is out there on models within this price range. Please help me out if you can. Thanks in advance. <strong>HDMI 1.3 allows for a few new features and a higher bit rate. The PS 3 has 1.3  .

He told me that the replacement for the TH50PX600U is model #TH50PZ750U and he is pretty sure this unit does have a cable card slot. This model is scheduled to go on sale the first week in march.I did not see this model in your list of the forementioned Panny's.Did you hear anything on this? Thanks JP, keep up the great work!
