5 Stars JUST BUY IT!!! Flawless Picture!!!
I bought this plasma after about 6 months of rewviews, research, and shopping. $699.99. Dont be fooled by 1080p. Your eye can’t tell the difference unless you are within 5.5ft. Plasma Tv’s have a faster refresh rate than LCD(even the 120hz LCD’s), 100,000hr life, no burn issue anymore, and most have a better contrast.This TV is really awsome I compared it to the Samsung TOC(touch of color) series. The picture from a blu-ray player were virtually identical! This TV has many many settings that you can really tweak the color, contrast, etc. although you probably wont need them since it looks great out of the box. Sound is great as well, some reviews say different, but really is sounds great. Save you money dont believe the hype and bull about 1080p 120Hz LCD. You CAN get the same beautiful picture at a fraction of the cost.
4 Stars excellent for the price
I ordered the tv a few weeks before Christmas and received it a week later. The delivery person set it up and made sure that it worked. Everything was fine. I looked at more expensive products but decided on this one and am very pleased with my purchase.
4 Stars very nice tv
nice tv. great picture. sound is pretty good. only one s-video slot so gamers will have a problem but overall cant beat price for what you get.

5 Stars The best 42″ TV for Under $700
I had a total budget of $1,000. I wanted to get the most for my money. It’s easy to get the best TV (when money is no object) but very difficult to find the best value. At the end of the day, I selected this Samsung TV…with money left over to buy a blu-ray player.
The bottom line is that this is a great TV for the price. The fact is, on screen sizes smaller that 50″, 1080p is not a big deal. And although this is a plasma and not an LCD, plasmas have some advantages versus LCD TV’s (the blacks are “blacker”, for instance). Finally, you can get a 40-42″ 1080p LCD TV for less than $1000 but it’s basically junk (at least as of today…but I’m sure that’ll change in time). This is a solid product from a solid manufacturer so you cannot go wrong…and I’ll be enjoying it for years to come.
Football is a whole new experience in HD. This TV is basically idiot proof…it looks good out of the box. Now the blu-ray technology is a bit of a different story.
In all fairness, the other TV to check in this price range–which is a great TV also–is the Panasonic TH-42PX80U. Which ever one you choose, enjoy!
