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.

Top notch excellent value plasma display
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.

Sssshhhh!!!!!
By Scott Burton
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.
