| Bought this plasma about two weeks ago after researching for about a month and going to every store (brick-and-mortar and .com) I could reach to talk to people, read reviews and make a sound decision. After the 2-day super-fast delivery (used super-saver 10-12 day, arrived 2 business days after I ordered it) I unboxed it and it was a breeze to put it up on my tv-stand. The swivel stand was already attached so there was no assembly required.
I plugged it into component cables (red, green, blue) and the HD signal was amazing. I recently purchased some super-cheap HDMI cables on amazon.com as well and just tried them out two nights ago... still great picture, but now the sound is even better. I'd have to give this plasma tv a 5/5 on quality, price and overall satisfaction. You won't be sorry. I was looking at LCD TV's for the longest time thinking plasma was out of reach. How wrong I was! I have had this for 2 weeks now and could not be more pleased. The picture is incredibly sharp, bright, and colorful. I run Verizon Fios via component to the TV right now and it is phenomenal on both HD and SD channels. I could not be happier. I was looking at the Samsung LNT4671 for the 120Hz refresh rate. But what does everyone say about 120Hz refresh? They compare it to plasma! This TV is bigger and cheaper than the LNT4671 so I opted for the real deal. Glare on the screen is very minimal as advertised. In comparison to the old tube tv it replaced the glare is non-existent. I am still in my first 100 hour burn in period so I have turned down the brightness and contrast. You'll want to spend a few minutes tuning this puppy in with the colors looking the way you want them to. Not sure if this is just superstition or has been fixed with new generations of plasmas but I'm playing it safe. I can not say anything about the sound since I run all sound through my Onkyo 605 receiver. THE TV IS PERFECT, NO PROBS AT ALL. THE SERVICE WAS PERVECT, NO PROBS AT ALL. NO NEED TO SAY MORE. WOULD DEFINATLY DO BUSINESS WITH AMAZON AGAIN. WILL CONTINUE TO BUY SAMSUNG AS WELL. |
