OT: Looking for 60" - 65" plasma with RS-232

 

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?
 

LG?

I know other companies make plasmas - I was hoping to get a specific make/model that someone has used successfully.

Thanks again.

Well LG is the make of plasma with 232 I've had good experiences with. Can't recommend a specific model in that 5" range though.

my home LG 60PK550 has what you are asking about through RS232, I am
controlling it that way now.

I recently read a good review of the Samsung PN60E7000FF and I'm pretty sure it has EX-Link(232).

I was at Sams Club the other day and they have an LG 60" Plasma for $899 and it had RS232.
