Summary I've had this TV for about a week now -- for the money, I feel this might be the best tv out there.

This tv was purchased from a fulfillment by Amazon deal, for under $1,450.00 -- now we're talkin the newest model Infinia plasma, and 60" at that! Sure, there might be better tvs out there, but in this size, you'd be paying close to a $1K or more. As for the TV iself:

Coming from and 9 year old projection screen Toshiba, the picture quality, in a dark setting, in Blu ray or an HD source program is simply breathtaking! Some nature programs in HD are mindblowingly clear and vivid -- it's that good...mind you I'm not a super duper picture analyzing person...I just know what looks good to my eyes and it looks really good. I am a picky person in general and would notice if the picture was poor, but it's just not the case.

TV is in a very bright room, light all day and yes, there is glare -- some programs (dark ones) might be difficult to view during peak sun hours. However, in my case, the TV usually isn't watched until after 5pm when we're back from work, etc, and by that time, the picture is fine. If you're very particular about glare, this might be the only real negative that I can find. It's pretty bad, but then again, it's still better than than my old projection tv in this regard. CNET noted the bright room performance of this plasma isn't that great, and I can see that being the case.

But if the room is in a darker setting, the picture is very bright, contrasty, and well saturated. Colors are deep and vivid. Black levels are very good for me -- I suppose they could be measurely better, but most likely not at this price point. Settings are numerous...wireless works properly. No problems with 24p Blu ray material, etc. Picture is smooth and fluid. Unit runs a bit hot on top back panel, but not too bad -- can't notice any heat, unless you're more than a foot away. As for buzz, there is a low buzz emitted at the top back panel near the edges (I think) -- you can't really hear it until about a foot from the tv (and really from the back), otherwise, you can't really notice. In a silent room, I have to strain to hear it (if that's even what I'm hearing); wth the HT system on, you definately can't notice anything.

Aesthetically, I feel this TV is at the very top of the long list of TVs out there -- it's just plain beautiful in its simple, single glass pane desgin -- LG's are some of the very best looking TVs in general -- at about 2" in depth, it's very impressive...

All in all -- I'm very pleased and looking forward to a long time watching this beauty. I'll post an update if anything goes wrong with the set, etc, but hopefully, all will be smooth sailing. Best bang for the buck in my book!
