From: CNET Reviewed by: Tec Consumer Posted: May 28, 2008 Type: User Review "All Around Great TV -- Cnet is right 720p looks as good as 1080p"

All around great screen. Got this as a second set. The screen itself is noticeably blacker than last year's models with nice contrast. Looks better than other plasmas, even up close. But, it doesn't have the cinematic "inky" blacks of my larger 50

From: CNET Reviewed by: rawinston Posted: May 28, 2008 Type: User Review "Excellent television for the price."

I chose this set after reading many reiviews, combined for the wait for it to arrive on store shelves so I can see it in person. I purchased this set from Sears for $999.99 plus an additonal $100 in store savings last week. That is well below the M

PROS: Black levels are great, also glare reduction screen and ease of setup.
CONS: Color reproduction can use some work. However, for the price, you have to be prepared for some compromise.

From: Amazon Posted: May 22, 2008 Type: User Review What's not to like?

I've had this HDTV for a month now and there is simply nothing wrong with it.

Before buying a Plasma my only concern was the oft mentioned "burn-in" issue. Recent reviews said not to worry and they were right. This television won't...

From: Amazon Posted: May 22, 2008 Type: User Review Awful Noise Reduction from 12ft or less

I purchased this TV hoping that it would be live up to the stunning user reviews and put my Samsung DLP to shame. I was afraid I would not want to watch TV on my larger DLP after buying it. Unfortunately, the noise reduction if this unit is...

From: Amazon Posted: May 20, 2008 Type: User Review Great picture quality for the price

Price was a significant contributor to my decision to buy this TV. Conversations with tv-guys made me think that I needed to pony up for a 1080, but I just could not justify the premium over the 720p. Now that I have it, I am glad I saved my...

Can't expand much more than the other 5 star reviews of this TV. It is everything I expected and more. Absolutely stunning audio and video. Best value I found after a good month of looking.

I'm using the TV exclusively as a monitor....

I have been watching and researching the TV for over a year and the reviews are spot on! The picture is fantastic as is the sound quality.

From: Amazon Posted: May 09, 2008 Type: User Review Very good value for money

For a small living room this is a perfect TV. 720p is very clear for 42'', doesn't really feel the need for 1080.

Following Front connections/slots are convinient
1. SD card slot to view camera pictures, what a pleasure! read full review | report as inappropriate
