+ Plenty of inputs.

- Larger model can play DivX from USB. This one just plays photos and music.

"great picture, horrible sound"
Pros: Good picture, deep blacks compared to lcd, auto adjusts to room light.

Summary: Great TV for the price. My lcd died at 2 yea... read more

Pros: Size (can move it by myself)
PQ - I don't miss 1080i - Never had it)
Nice clear sound at low volume levels
Features - Read the specs, this set is loaded
It's plasma - Better blacks than LCD
2,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio
Nice Menu tooCons: If there was a con, I'd have to say that it isn't 1080i HD. But, did I mention I paid $629.00.
Narrow field for the remote signal,...you have to point it directly at the "Blue" on light in order to channel channels, etc.Summary: This set replaced a working Sony Flatscreen t... read more
