if you just want big…with just enough resolution then go with this…if youre picky about getting sharpness/resolution..go with 1080p

TV was not clear when hooked up to my old DVD player (with component video cables) or my comcast cable box. Called the LG repair guy and he said I needed to get an HD box from Comcast which costs extra. So i got the HD cable box now and the HD channels are clear, but the regular channels are still not that clear. In fact they are worse than my old projection TV. I’m not sure if it’s Comcast or the TV. Also, my DVD picture is still unclear sometimes–especially the menu screens. But once you get into the movie it seems to clear up. Maybe I need a blue ray DVD player…but this TV is only 720p…
Bottom line is: if you buy this HDTV prepare to upgrade all your accessories to make the picture clear. The TV isn’t very compatible with old technology–at least this is what I’m experiencing and what the LG repairman told me.

To the other poster that paid almost 900 @ sears on sale no less i paid a benjamin and 1/2 less than that @ Fry’s Electronics. Now that price is almost the same as panny & sammy 42 PDP’s. This PDP is stunning and the wife likes it more than the PN42B450 and the TCP42X1 that we test drove for 30 days each. The anti-reflective coating could be better and the blacks are a li’l inferior to that of the Panny/Sammy, but still not bad and the 3-way toggle to set energy savings is way cool. SD looks pretty damn good too. PC input on this thing is not bad at all too. The Panny X1 doesn’t even have a decent stand or RGB input. All around you can’t go wrong with this set and just in time for football season.

I bought this, and had a Y-controller go out within three weeks – the top half of my screen went black, while bottom half and sound worked fine. Called customer service and was told part is on backorder – and now have been two weeks without a TV (scheduled for fixing 3 weeks after part broke). So I guess I would say it is a great picture when it works, which hasn’t been often for me.

I’m blown away by this plasma. There is no noticable difference (at least for me) compared to a 1080p version. Unless your viewing distance is less than 8ft. On the other hand, there is not much brodcast in 1080p anyway unless you have more money to hand out..Bluray, some on demand programming that costs extra. This TV is not loaded with all the bells and whistels of more expensive ones. I didn’t need all that. The USB and HDMI ports on the side are great. Plug your USB device or game console into it and view your photos and play games easily. Sharp picture and HD looks awesome. Definitely worth the price paid.
