Worth the wait? You betcha! August 12, 2008

When I told my wife I wanted an HD Plasma she was happy to oblige...the only catch was we had to save up for it so we would have it all paid for when we bought it. What did that mean? We had to save for a YEAR! Was it worth it? You betcha!
It's amazing how much HDTVs improved in just 12 months! Had we bought it a year before we would have gone with a 720p Samsung like my parents have (also a fantastic TV), but that extra year helped prices go down. We paired up the TV with the Blu-Ray Player found in the Sony PS3 and man does it pop! You love sports? You absolutely have to get a Plasma...don't let anyone trick you into getting an LCD. The plasmas refresh their picture four times faster than any LCD. Don't get caught in the blur! Everything about this TV is awesome. Get it! Get it from Amazon! The delivery service is impeccable. There's no tax depending on where you live. You can't find it cheaper anywhere else. This TV is the way to go! You won't regret it. The touch of color is awesome!
Finally, no TV is ever perfect. The only negative I can think of about this TV is that it puts out a lot of heat. Just be aware that if you live somewhere hot and you're going to put it in a smaller room, you will definitely feel the difference.

I recommend this TV and I recommend Amazon as a vendor. Initially I ordered the 46" LCD Samsung (650), it had intermittent display problems so I sent it back. Meantime my "research" revealed that many authorities prefer the picture quality of plasma to LCD. So I opted for this one, and I'm very happy with it. I'm convinced it offers a better picture than the LCD I started with, though it's difficult to say why. The LCD seemed to have deeper blacks (when viewed head-on, at least) and it was surely brighter. But the picture on this plasma seems less like a big flat computer monitor and more like a CRT. It has more depth of color. It can reproduce action sequences without gimmicky options like 120hz. In terms of screen size, I think 50" is plenty big if you intend to watch both TV shows and movies in a room of moderate size. TV shows (and ads) are designed to grab your attention on a small screen; with a 50" screen, the effect can be overpowering. But if you're looking for a dedicated movie screen, I'd consider a larger one, to give letterbox movies their full advantage.

This is an excellent TV straight out of the box. The advantage it hasof the more expensive Panasonics is that it can be calibrated more accurately and give you dead on color accuracy. As far as anyone worried about burn-in or image retention, those are no longer issues. I have played video games and watched channels with tickers with no issues. Not even the slightest IR. Just don't be excessive and vary your programming.

I just let go of a Sony CRT HDTV to purchase this, which I've had now for three weeks. I was slow to go to flat panel because of their notoriously poor rendition of blacks. I was right to wait, and this was the right product to wait for. I don't know how blacks could get any darker than the way they're displayed on this screen. In addition, what I thought was black on the CRT was often very dark blue, very dark green, etc... this TV delivers blacks but also nicely renders colors very close to black. Cons: I'm glad I don't have this screen in a bright room - there is some glare, though improved over earlier models - and the heat it puts out is surprising. But I think heat is one price you pay for going to plasma. Other nice touches: jpg and mp3 support. Haven't done the sound yet, but for jpg, just plug in a thumb drive, then point to the photos and ask for a slide show. Images, of course, have excellent resolution.

This is a great TV. I did ton's of research before I settled on this TV. It was between this and the Panasonic Viera TV with THX certification. The panasonic was more expensive. I went and looked at both side by side and could not tell the difference between the 2. The red "touch of color" is very subtle, and not an issue. This TV is phenominal!
