  • "Excellent Plasma TV, incredible features, great picture"
    5.0 stars

    Pros: Yahoo! Widgets (Pandora Internet Radio, Ebay, YouTube, etc.), plenty of inputs, stream content from your PC, built-in and downloadable content, ability to update firmware directly from TV, incredible picture, reduced glare effect.

    Cons: Widgets can be quirky at times, most likely bugs to be worked out.

    Summary: I was able to find this Plasma for $934 at Frys Electornics before Christmas '09. Their everyday price is $1400. If you are in the market for a large flat panel television that has tons of great features, excellent picture quality, and won't break the bank, look no further. I have not noticed a big problem with glare either. It is in a fairly well lit room with two big picture windows, and I only close the blinds on the closest one at certain points in the day. I have the same issue with my LCD in the other room. Don't be fooled by all the gimmicky catch phrases like 240Hz and 80,000 MP Dynamic Contrast with the LCD/LED TVs. Plasmas are 600Hz and 2,000,000 MegaPixels Dymanic Contrast by default. And the average cost difference in power usage is $1 a month. Woopdeedoo! $12 a year. As an added bonus, if you have certain types of Samsung cellphones, you can send messages directly to the TV. Don't ask me how it works, but that is pretty sweet!
