This is the plasma to get
By jay kenyon
I have been researching HDTV's for about five years. When I finaly decided to take the plunge, there was no doubt that this television was the one to get. The picture is amazing -- from ANY source -- HD or not. The blacks are BLACK", the colors are vibrant and the flesh is natural. Further, the justification of fullscreen programming looks great -- it is not distracting at all.The controls are very simple, but infinintely tweak-ableThe television is also expandable -- with card slots to allow for almost any type of input. It comes standard with component, s-video, composite, and computer input. (If you want hdmi or dvi, you have to purchase a separate card, and install it in the extra expansion bay).since it is a commercial monitor, it does not have a built in turner or speakers (though you can add those). I saw this as a plus -- why pay for built in speakers, when I planned to run the TV through my home theater anyway? As for the tuner -- it is not that big of a deal to just use a cable box.The television is very simple -- a black frame with NO buttons on front. Nothing to distract you from the picture.In addition, since it is fanless, it is nearly silent.

By G. Zhu
I don't usually give 5 stars to an electronic device, but this one is exceptional, it very well deserves all the hype it has generated for the following reasons.1. Crisp high quality HD picture. I have watched the Lord of the Ring, WTTW HD on this monitor, the picture quality is astonishing. I view it from all different angles in my living room, no change of quality of the picture can be seen at all.2. Thin profile, light weight. I can carry it all by myself during the installation.3. Eagle Globel shipping is fantastic. The unit was not only delivered 5 days before its estimated arrival date, but also the delivery guys helped me carry the double-packaged box inside of my house, and unpacked it right in front of me, to show the display in excellent condition.I have owned the unit for about a week now, so far the only down side I have noticed is the unit does have a humming sound when it is extremely quiet, but un-noticeable during day time.I give it three thumbs up if I have an extra one.

Stop spreading the word! I'm worried they'll stop making this killer display at this price.I have 2 and know lots of other owners. We use them in professional and home settings. There isn't a better deal for picture quality, flexibility and price. Know what you're buying though: you'll need to supply your own tuner & sources, speakers and stand.This is the ideal display for anyone who wants to work plasma into a serious home theater installation. Everything you need for a well-programmed custom install - direct-select inputs, multiple resolutions and aspect ratio options, full color and greyscale control, modular input boards - it's all there, I could go on. It's true that there are better choices for pure picture quality, but that's a very small and expensive list.The 50-inch is probably ideal for most large family rooms but the 42 is a great all-around display.
