Its a plasma...a damn good one...but its still a plasma by Adam Cate (Virginia)  4 Stars
November 16, 2009
This TV is amazing and it has a lot of sweet picture enhancing features like dynamic contrast and a few burn in reduction settings. HOWEVER, it overscans and there is no option to turn that off...and there is still burn in (limitation of plasmas in general). The speakers that are built in kinda suck...but who in their right mind would use those over a real home theater set up?

Very I am very happy with this TV, especially at this price. Just be sure to have HD with it. Regular channels kind of look like crap.

Beware of Burn-In Issue by Denise Karen (Woodbridge Township, NJ USA)  3 Stars
November 09, 2009
This television has a beautiful picture, the price is very reasonable, but you need to be aware that you cannot watch programs in the old 4:3 format. This TV is very sensitive to burn-in! I like to watch regular television programs and most old tv shows are in the old format. I only had it about 2 weeks and noticed the bars down both sides of the television. I ran the scrolling feature and made sure to now stretch the shows to wide fit, which cuts off some of picture on the top and bottom. But now I am noticing that the logos from the tv stations on the bottom right or left show images. Also, it is not a good tv to play video games on for the same reason. After short periods of time you see imaging from the score bars of the game. And I have the screen protection option on at the fastest setting. I am returning this television and going back to an LCD. The reason I went plasma was because for the same picture quality and other options the price was lower. I got this television for about $1,000. I am going to go to a 46" LCD and spend a little more. In my opinion, it is just not worth the headache of worrying about screen burn-in! I have this television a little less than a month. What is the screen going to look like 6 months or a year from now? How many shadows are going to become permanent?
