5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled by the plasma stigma, January 12, 2010

This TV is the best buy when it comes to dollar per inch. I purchased this plasma at a local retailer for $630, and am very, very impressed with the unit. The picture is fantastic, and puts my old 32" Sharp LCD to shame. The black levels can't be matched, the menus are responsive, and the resolution looks nearly the same as a 1080P television.

I use this television to play games on and for movies. My xbox 360 works beautifully with it, and I have seen no evidence of image retention.

Movies look great. My friends always want to come over to watch movies on my TV due to it's fantastic picture and size!

I like the remote. It's not the most ergonomic, but it certainly gets the job done.

Speakers are awful. Hook up a 5.1 surround sound unit and solve the problem. I recommend stereo Polk, Klipsh or Sony component speakers and a simple 5.1 channel amplifier with a optical-in.

FYI, this TV runs linux.

I rate it 5*. No issues or problems, easy set-up. This TV weighs about 90lbs, I suggest a sturdy stand.

Don't be fooled by people that tell you that you can't get a good picture with a 720p plasma. We have this tv and the 42" panasonic plasma in 720p. Both have an amazing picture! We couldn't be more happy. Don't be afraid to buy this tv. Great value for the $$$

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT GET A PLASMA TV SHIPPED FROM MONTANA, January 5, 2010

It's just a bad idea. I got one as a gift for Christmas. It was cracked. Not Amazon's fault, but the shipping company Vann's and YRC are a bunch of idiots. I had to take a half day from work and they inexplicably changed the order date to the next day without telling me. I broke down and went to a local place and paid a bit more, but had a tv, without the hassle.

never ever again
