Here in a few minutes I'm going to run to best buy and see if they have the Chromecast dongle in stock, if so I'll give my first impressions on that.

That would be awesome. Thanks!

I thought the collective would give me so much advice I'd need a day to sort it out, but it has been a bit sparse on this thread...

No problem!

So I got the last device in the store, just set it up, and WOW awesome! I should have done this sooner, even with a cable/satellite provider, for $35 this is a no brainer.

I can stream all my Google play music, which alleviates my need for a bluetooth stereo.

Google play movies/TV allows me to see any episode of the walking dead, or any other hit television show (at a price of course), which basically let's me hand pick my shows, instead of paying for tons of channels I don't need.

For $16 a month I've got Netflix and Hulu plus, along with you tube and a few other things.

Chromecast is adding new programs at a fairly rapid pace, and the device automatically updates.

So far, for being only 30 minutes into it, I'm sold!

ChromeCast...can you get Amazon Prime movies and other media on it as well?

In that price range, yes Panasonic plasma is still the best.. However.. they are running out and Panasonic is leaving the plasma business. What is left on the shelves will likely be it and we will be stuck with inferior LED/LCDs until OLED or something else steps up to the plate which I don't see happening for the next few years.

Thanks. Bought a Samsung Plasma yesterday. Got a great deal on it and it had some of the highest ratings in the size.

Which model did you get? I am hoping to pick up a flat screen soon myself.

Samsung 51" 5300 Series Full HD Plasma TV

$527 from B&H shipped. Only one I found cheaper was a store display model in Utah. ChromeCast is on the way too.

That sounds like a good deal. Who is B & H?

They started out just selling mail-order mid to high end photography many years ago. Now they offer almost all consumer and prosumer electronics at great prices. Very good to deal with.

My A-1 Canon came from them 30 years ago. Good people.
