"Great! Been researching plasmas for 3 months!" on by sdw70
Pros: Good sound! Good looks! Great price! Less weight than last years model.
Cons: None at this time
Summary: Definately recommend! Cannot go wrong with this purchase if you are stuck on deciding between other models and brands.Been looking and comparing, fanatically, for three months. I've had this TV for one week. Picture is flawless when watching HD programming-no pixelation in fast movement (of course w/HDMI connection b/w cable box and tv).Programs broadcast in "Digital Format" (not HD) looks good also (some slight pixelation). Standard broadcast tv signal, of course,not too good. Newer movies on DVD played through a non-up conversion DVD player look pretty good, but older movies on DVD look grainy and probably will due to the quality in which they were recorded, even with a progessive scan up-conversion player (which will be my next purchase). Contemplating purchasing the 42" version. Can't wait for the 65" version.

Seven months later....still satisfied w/my purchase! The price has dropped @$1000 less than when I purchased it in April '06. If you are still contemplating purchasing a plasma HD tv, this model is still the best 720p picture you can get for your dollar. No "burn in" at all. I do not play video games on the tv! Hopefully, next years model will achieve the 1080p resolution, but for alot cheaper than other 50inch plasma models than are selling at this time w/ the 1080p resolution..i.e. Pioneer.
