Well, wanted a plasma tv for ages, finally got courage to buy one, because of kids did want all of buttons hidden so did not buy panasonic, read review on Pioneer and was told best TV to buy.
Not wrong there, first very easy to set up, Control is not bad, not great but does the job.

Picture is Awesome, with HD will be out of this world but why pay for more.

Advantages: Overall quality of product is very good Disadvantages: The need to protect it from screen burn
I have owned my Plasma for 3 months and been delighted. The picture quality is great with exceptionally true blacks and sharp definitions. The sound is pretty good too.
In terms of setting up, this is easy and quick to do. Although I did not find the instructions that user friendly or particularly inviting to read.

I have just brought one of these tv's myself and i was very pleased with its overall performance. I thought this was going to be like any other tv not that easy to set up, to many settings to go through during picture set up. i was very pleased to find that although there are 22 picture enhancing features they were very easy to use and you can get the picture quality just how you want it. the screen size is 42 inch and i thought it might not handle ... ...i think this is a good tv for men who like there gadgets as there are a few settings for you to play with. I tried a dvd with had a very bassy sound track to see what the sound would be like and the tv handles bass brilliantly it wasn't tinny at all.
overall i would recommend this tv to anyone looking for a plasma with great quality it was easy to set up which is a very postive thing for me. although i did have a problem with the sound i phoned ...
