Great TV!!

"I've been looking at buying a HDTV for a long time. At first I wanted a LCD but after further review and study, I decided on a Plasma. I picked this TV over the weekend and I couldn't be happier. The picture is outstanding. The increase sub-drive to 600 hz and the increase contract ratio 2,000,000:1 (dymanic) and 40,000:1 (native) makes playing games and watching movies top notch. The TV has a sleak design that ..." Read Full Review »

"First off, this review pertains to the picture quality of the set where video games are concerened (specifically PS3 games). Unlike many reviewers I have no inherent bias towards LCDs or Plasmas; I simply want the best TV possible (within rea$on) for reproducing video game graphics.

I have been looking at HD TV's for a couple years. I was convinced LCD (Sony or Samsung) was the only way to go up untill the last few month's.

The new improvements to Plasma have turned the table.

"I spent a long time looking for an HDTV and Landed on this. I am more than pleased with its performance.
