if you just want big…with just enough resolution then go with this…if youre picky about getting sharpness/resolution..go with 1080p

I’m blown away by this plasma. There is no noticable difference (at least for me) compared to a 1080p version. Unless your viewing distance is less than 8ft. On the other hand, there is not much brodcast in 1080p anyway unless you have more money to hand out..Bluray, some on demand programming that costs extra. This TV is not loaded with all the bells and whistels of more expensive ones. I didn’t need all that. The USB and HDMI ports on the side are great. Plug your USB device or game console into it and view your photos and play games easily. Sharp picture and HD looks awesome. Definitely worth the price paid.

Saw it next to a similar Panansonic and picture looked much better on LG. Got a great deal at HHGregg ($800). Hooked it to my dish HD-DVR with HDMI cable and picture looks greater than ever. Audio is also much better than that similar Panasonic. I hope this lasts as my last plasma tv though(Hitachi over 5yr now and still running good). Having a 50″ screen is great, 42″ Hitachi looks like a small screen now. PC and USB Inputs are good to have features. I am just too happy with this tv purchase. I would recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Nice Clear Picture, good sound, 600hz, low price
Overall the picture quality is great in HD and SD content on this tv. My seating distance is at 8 feet which is about as close to this tv as you can get, any closer and you will need a 1080p or probably a smaller tv. No burn in or image retention issues as far as I can tell after playing video games on the tv(set on orbital. The swivel stand is nice and the design looks pretty good with the glossy black although I am not a fan of the bottom grey stripe. Sound on this tv is nice and clear. HD content looks great and after watching some hd dvd movies(sorry no blu ray player yet) I am impressed with the picure on this set. The amount of extra features on this entry level tv is impressive and will allow you to customize to your hearts content. I especially like the intelligent sensor because if I am watching tv in the dark at night the tv does not blind me with brightness. The tv also supports 24fps for movies. Xbox 360 games look amazing on this tv such as COD4. The tv’s instatanious response time means no more lag and things are where they should be i.e. Guitar hero, and online gaming. Fast motion is handled well by the 600hz. SD tv looks good and most stations are pretty clear. Lots of imputs and monitor imput means a 50inch computer screen is possible. Also supports usb so you can play pics or music easily over the tv.
Cons: a few minor things, remote is not the greatest or easiest to use, black levels are good but not as good as a panasonic, 4:3 HD content cannot be stretched to fill the screen
Overall great tv for a great price with lots of features

To the other poster that paid almost 900 @ sears on sale no less i paid a benjamin and 1/2 less than that @ Fry’s Electronics. Now that price is almost the same as panny & sammy 42 PDP’s. This PDP is stunning and the wife likes it more than the PN42B450 and the TCP42X1 that we test drove for 30 days each. The anti-reflective coating could be better and the blacks are a li’l inferior to that of the Panny/Sammy, but still not bad and the 3-way toggle to set energy savings is way cool. SD looks pretty damn good too. PC input on this thing is not bad at all too. The Panny X1 doesn’t even have a decent stand or RGB input. All around you can’t go wrong with this set and just in time for football season.
