Summary: Outstanding VALUE!
Comment: Great purchase via Amazon. Arrived quickly and in perfect condition, receiving Amazon's "white glove" delivery treatment. Just plugged it into all my peripherals (PS3, GameCube, home theater system, vcr,etc.) and all content looks beautiful on this plasma (including over-the-air digital hdtv transmissions) . Just waiting for it to "break in" to calibrate the set for optimal picture quality. Lastly, I saved roughly $200 bucks by purchasing this through Amazon. For the past month, I've been checking to see if any other retailers (Best Buy, Fry's, Circuit City,etc.) are offering a better deal, but they have yet to match the price I paid. Definitely recommend this set, especially at the price that Amazon is offering. While maybe not the best plasma tv on the market, from my research it is in the top tier--and, once you consider that important combination of price and performance it is a must-buy.

Summary: Great TV, Great Service
Comment: I was unsure about ordering this TV online, well I took the leap and it paid off! Over the years I have ordered a bunch of stuff from Amazon.com without any problems but nothing this large and fragile, the delivery was flawless(make sure Amazon has latest phone # and address info). The package was in excellent condition (no dings or holes, the delivery person (CEVA) bought the TV inside for us.

We have been looking at this TV for a week now and "WOW" it is remarkable what a difference in viewing pleasure. setup with HD DVR (Cablevision)was a piece of cake.

Would highly recommend this "Fantastic" HDTV to anyone and would recommend they consider buying it from Amazon.com.

Summary: Pleased with the TV, not the Delivery
Comment: I am extremely pleased with the picture. This is my 3rd HDTV, and this unit has the best picture I have seen. The black levels are amazing. As for delivery, the delivery people canceled the first day and were 3 hours late the second day. When they arrived, they unloaded the TV from the box and left it on my desk. They did not set up the stand or even offer to turn on the TV to see if it worked. I was left to deal with the box. I was unsatisfied with delivery. However, I did not think it was fair to give a poor review to the TV because of delivery. However, I would re-consider buying a large item from Amazon if this is how they handle delivery.
