Pros: Vibrant picture, bought this TV to replace a 32" LCD. Plasma's picture quality is superior to LCD's by far. The natural colors and high contrast really bring images to life. There is absolutely no response lag. This TV is in my basement, where my previous LCD would ghost till it warmed up from the 60 degree room, not a problem with this TV. Input labeling is handy and the picture adjustments are well laid out. If you are worried about burn in, don't be. This TV has a pixel orbiter feature that prevented burn in when I coincidently left a still image on the screen for over 3 hours. I fell asleep watching a hockey game and woke up to a still satellite screen with a logo on it. Amazingly, zero retention. Plasmas have come a long way, my 1st set had multiple burn in's, this set doesn't even temporarily ghost. Go for it, buy plasma.
Cons: No side panel input & Only 2 HDMI's. Also, the menu's and manual are in broken English. When you connect a new source the screen will prompt you to switch with this text: "A new source detected, do you wish to enjoy this?"
Other Thoughts: Set will not power on with remote until the power button on the unit is pressed. This should be pointed out in bold text somewhere, do not disconnect your TV like I did without pressing the button first.

Great TV

Pros: Good looking set. Finds over the air stations i never thought existed. The remote is very responsive, unlike the other dumb dell I have. Lightweight, especially for the unit's screensize. Very thin for a plasma. QAM tuner lets me snatch HD channels the cable company provides for their analog customers for free Plenty of outputs.
Cons: Remote isnt backlighted. The TV only rotates about 30 degrees on its stand. That isnt a huge deal tho.
Other Thoughts: I got it 550 shipped white glove from another vender. Otherwise I would have gotten it from newegg (like i do everything else).

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I bought this TV soley for playing Xbox 360 and the occasional movie for the kids. Even at only 720p, the picture is vivid and responsive and has an excellent price to performance ratio. Movie clarity of standard DVD's on an up converting DVD player via HDMI look more like High Def.
Cons: No audio output made it a PITA to setup with surround sound. No screensaver means I have to be mindfull of leaving it on pause for too long.
