Summary: It usually takes me months before I decide to buy any new piece of electronics. However, this TV was a spontaneous buy relative to what I go through selecting anything, partly because of the deal that Amazon was having and partly because of the user reviews on Amazon and other sites. So, after taking a leap of faith, I'm just blown away! I'm very picky because of my background in TV and Video, but after a week with this new TV I'm very satisfied.

Picture: The picture is just amazing. The color seems so rich and the contrast makes the blacks just pop out. My wife asked me if the TV was one of those "no need of glasses" 3d TV. It took me a few seconds to realize that the picture quality to my wife was so good that she thought that was what was considered 3d. She will be amazed when we actually watch a 3d movie.

Features: The SmartTV is great in creating a web enabled TV with many really cool applications. THe best part of this TV is the amount of picture related settings that are available for the TV. It really allows you to modify it to your liking. The 4 hdmi is great and all, but I do wish that the TV had more legacy connections since they are still around in many cameras, etc.

For Gamers: I'm a big gamer, and can't wait to play the PC version of Skyrim on this TV, but in the meantime I have to enjoy my xbox games, which I'm really enjoying them. With the plasma TV delivery a refresh rate of 600 hz my games looks so crisp, and playing the demo of Madden 12 I was just blown away. So I can assure you that this TV is perfect for gaming. It also had a Game Mode but I haven't seen the difference with it on or off. It looks great with it on or off.
