I've had this plasma for about 6 months now - i bought it from Comet for £900 - and am very satisfied with it. Currently i have it on cable (NTL) and the picture quality is very good, and setting up was a doddle thanks to the easy to use menu screen.

Currently i am using it as my pc monitor aswell, (viewing internet, films and lots of games) and it's brilliant, definately as good if not better than LCD. The only downside is that it's only got 1 HDMI connection, but it's possible to use a HDMI splitter if i need more.

As with most telly's there are plenty of connections on the back, although it can be a bit awkward to get to them. The controls on the television are situated on the bottom right of the televsion facing downwards.

The sound quality is good but not quite brilliant, although there are connections for external speakers and a dedicated subwoofer output.

After previously having a normal telly from Hitachi - that lasted a good 15+ years (i'm 19 and still too young to remember how long we had it) - i had no worries about buying one again and so far i'm glad i did.

Argos are currently selling these tv's for £666 and i still think it's a bargain for what i paid for it!!!

So basically, it's brilliant with normal telly, (football is a dream, on it), the HD content playing at the shop i bought it from looked fantastic on it and it's perfect as a pc/games console screen aswell.
