 More than 720P September 6, 2010
F. Galang (Jax)
This TV is great! My Sony blu-ray player detected it as 1080P capable. This surprised me because this is just a 720P tv. I looked at the specs and it clearly stated that it can do a 1:1 pixel matching at 1080P. I watch blu-ray at 1080/24P and regular DVDs at 1080/60P settings (done automatically by my Sony blu-ray player). My ratio is set to 'Just Scan' for regular DVDs and 'Set by program' for blu-ray. I just use 'Standard' video mode but 'Cinema' on sound with 'Sound Clarity' set to 2. These settings work good for me. No problems with it so far and hopefully it'll stay that way for very a long time.
Awesome plasma, great value! September 4, 2010

Ordered this tv and it came in 3 days, shipped via Pilot shipping company, a local Philadelphia shipper. Box arrived in perfect condition and everything was included in the box. Installing the base was easy and setup was fairly easy but I would recommend 2 people to lift it up, (it's a little heavy). Hooked it up to Comcast HD cable and an LG Network Blu-ray player and the picture is amazing on both, especially on sports! Definitely think it has a better picture than LCD 120hz sets. You would never know it's not full 1080p. Also I heard that most cable broadcasts are not 1080p anyways (720p or 1080i) so you won't be missing much. The panel is beautiful, glossy piano black finish, and also it is very thin and sleek! It really is a nice looking tv for the money. I would highly recommend picking one up today.
There is a lot TV for 500bux September 1, 2010
Amax Luggage (Los Angeles, CA)
We decided to mount a flat panel on the wall of our newly built party/activity room. We didn't want to spend too much on LED or 3D, as it will just be a waste of money after few years (we spent $3000 on a DLP 6 or 7 yrs back, now it doesnt worth anything and you have to pay to get it out of the house).
Video Quality:
Personally i think there is alot TV for $500. Although it's a 720p but i couldnt tell much difference in video quality when I compared it with a Samsung 1080p LCD. If you are not extremly picky about image quality, i think this might be the one for you. I think image quality is at its best when playing HD cartoon (did very well on Ice Age).
Con: this tv does not automatically mute when its out of receiption. it gets annoying when you turn on the TV while your cable box is not on. I thought it's the speaker setting but no, there is no option to change it. The other thing i dont like about is its glossy screen. you'll have to watch tv in dim light or otherwise you'll be watching light bulbs instead.
Build Quality:
I've used it for about 3mo now, havent had any problem yet. built finish is ok. back side of the TV doesnt have much cosmetic. but it's ok if you are going to mount it on the wall. you'll need at least a 400x600 wall mount. we bought the smaller one and it wouldnt fit.
 Solid TV August 29, 2010
Cynthia A. Nelson (Charleston, WV USA)
Haven't done a whole lot with it so far, but for a little over $500, I can't ask for a much better value. The picture is pretty solid, it helps to avoid as much glare as possible. Perfect for my dorm room.

I just got the TV yesterday and really love it. Although the glare from plasma is definitely an issue, it's worth it to get the bright colors and the awesome refresh rate for sports and action movies. We had LCD TV in same spot before, it didn't have the glare, but the colors were dull in comparison. The sound is good, with no buzzing that I've noticed, and I stood right next to TV with sound off and still didn't hear "buzzing" other people talk about. I also love the swivel base and its thin size. I was turned off in the past by the size of the plasmas, being heavier and thicker, but this TV is light enough for one person to lift it (a little awkwardly) and very thin and stylish. Although delivery took longer than I wanted, it was free and you can't beat that. All in all, I love this TV and am very happy with my choice.
