I have a client that hates LCDs, loves plasmas. Tells me he wants one of the cheap entry level Panasonic 65" plasmas because he loves the picture. But also wants discrete input select, direct channel selection from the built in tuner and discrete power on/off - all without RS-232. Balked when I suggested the Panasonic that actually has RS-232 to be able to implement all of those features because it cost quite a bit more.
Now he has asked if there is any other control system other than Crestron that will give those features - seems to think that Crestron "needs" RS-232 and another cheap control system <URC, RTI, etc> won't need RS-232 to to do everything he wants. I'm sticking with Crestron so my other option is to find a cheaper plasma with RS-232.
Anyone use another plasma sized 60"-65" that has RS-232 support and a built-in off air tuner?
