I purchased this same tv over a week ago for $595 at american tv/appliance. They advertised it the weekend before Xmas. Said at leadt 10 per store. SO I was there at opening.. heard they were gone within the hour. Researched it online and had my mind made up when I got there. It was on display inside the front doors right next to a 60" tv hooked up to a Bluray player. Picture looked really bad on the 50" LG. I looked at the salesman and said OK, I'll take the 50" LG. He looked a little puzzled.. I explained to him the 60" was hooked to HDMI (1080) and the 50" was hooked to the coax cable (480). I said agoin I would take it. He stood there a minute asking about HDMI cables, what was I hooking to it, BluRay player, etc. I said i needed nothing.. Just the TV. Stand? Mounting bracket? Nope just the tv. I got it paid for and went around back to pick it up. They went to load it in my explorer and niticed it was about 10 inches too tall to stand up in it.. Then they told me they are not suppose to lay Plasma tvs down.. (I had already looked at the manual online and they have you lay it face down to put the stand on). SO i took the box and tilted about 30 degrees and slid it int the truck. Said thanks and closed the hatch. Stopped off at Sears and grabbed a 3 glass shelf stand for $44. Talk about a perfect match. Like they were made for eaxch other. So for less than $700 I had my complete 50" plasma setup (including tax). Moved my 55 inch rear projection tv out of the way, hooked up the plasma on stand to digital cable box with HD. Turned it on and Wow. What a great picture. Little tweeking here and there. Flipped throuh the channels and even watched a little golf because the picture was outstanding. Picture is just as wide as my 55" letterbox HD rear projection tv. LG is 48 inches across. So all i can figure is it is a little shorter. But I do not really notice the 5 inches I lost. Picture is excellent. I bet you could not tell the difference between this any ANY LCD 1080 out there today. The sound is great. I have heard people say flat panels have poor sound, but this is really good. Love the clear voice adjustment on it.. You can turn up the voice so it doesn't get drowned out by the music or special effects while watching your shows. Yeah, the remote could be better. better layout or easier to use, but once your set up yo hardly ever touch it anyway. SO all in all.. a nice large tv with a beautiful picture quality for under 600 bucks. You would not be dissappointed if you buy this. Get yourself a great deal on 720s while they are trying to push the 1080i and you will not be sorry. Get it.. Watch it.. Love it.. You will feel so much better knowing you didn't spend a fortune to get lifelike tv in your livingroom.

I just got this TV a couple of days ago and it is an incredible set at an incredible price. Dont get caught up in the numbers game. The resolution on this TV is 720p, which is pretty much 1080i. The picture looks like a 1080p though. I was blown away when I first turned it on. I would highly recommend this TV at this price. There are other TVs which are more feature rich (more inputs) but at this price you cant lose
