Panny U-series or S-series..? which is better?

Tony M

I just bought an S series and then while looking on the internet I see the U series.
..They seem to be the same plasma but the U series is a couple hundred $ cheaper. Anybody know why?
Thanks

Does this help at all?

I think so. I just bought a S2 series.

It looks like a U series uses more power.

That's good for me even though mine will use 353 watts while on. I bought a 50" and It won't be a TV that's on all the time anyway. I was reigned in from getting a 58"er for now.
Next purchase might be a projector by Epson per member of the forum here.
