Strengths: 780p looks as good as 1080p
Weaknesses:color decoding and noise reduction ineffective
Overall Evaluation: This tv has handsome exterior with 3 hdmi inputs with one set being in front which is very convenient;it doesn't have a VGA input which for some people like me may be disappointed since it can't be used as a monitor;the connection via hdmi is so-so. i have purchased it for 900 dollars which is considered as good buy; all in all, i like the brightness and color accuracy of this tv

Strengths: Great picture quality and easy to set up and use.
Weaknesses:The remote looks very child like and cheap to me. I expected a more techno savvy look to it considering the tv that was purchased.
Overall Evaluation: I have mixed reviews on the plasma for only 1 reason... I also own a 42 in LCD 1080p. As for picture quality, it is great even at the 720 on this set. Unless you are watching hi def everything you would never be able to tell. My only problem with plasma is the floating lines. I am very sensitive to light and it is something I would need to get used to as my other tv does not do it. I was told all plasmas have it to prevent burn in. However, my husband barely notices it and loves the tv. I would still purchase it again having seen the capabilities and would recommend it to others looking for a tv with these specifications. Great buy overall!!!

Strengths: Superb picture quality, low pricing, great sound
Weaknesses:No PC inputs
Overall Evaluation: I bought this almost a month ago for $899. It is a great TV, I compared it to the other TV's at the store and the picture quality is superb, but the price is very affordable. It also has very good sound. I like the SD card reader in front as well as the component and hdmi inputs infront.

Strengths: Excelent picture. Setup is a breeze.
Weaknesses:Haven't noticed any yet.
Overall Evaluation: Bought this 2 days ago. Setup was very simple. Excellent picture quality and the internal speakers are also very good. One thing I have noticed is that if you have older equipment then there are not many connections to support all. Only one RCA and 2 Composite. Overall I am very happy with it.
