we bought this tv after looking at a ton of tv's, the 42 in size was perfect for what we needed. since i am not going to paying to recieve HD, i figured for the money this was perfect for us, we paid 1299.00 andanother two hundred for a decent surround sound which is a must. from Amazon.com The Standard 5W speaker are not just bad they are an total embarrasement. I can't believe someone would build a $2k TV with such bad audio. Be preparded to invest in a home theater system. The good picture is just nothing worth without the sound. from Amazon.com It was showing a demo DVD in progressive scan mode and some basic analog cable signals. I bought it because it was in my price range and it had what appeared to be the best picture among the other cheapy plasmas on display and it did not have the visible integrated speakers. from Amazon.com Pros: Picture. Price. from Shopping.com This television seemed attractive at first, a 42' plasma tv for only $1500. But the resolution is inferior to most cheap computer monitors and the picture quality with anything other than a progessive scan DVD is pretty sad. from Circuitcity.com My wife and I purchased this television this past weekend after viewing and comparing several 42-inch plasmas at a wide range of prices. We found that for the money, this set offered the best quality picture. from Circuitcity.com Your HDsignals from your cable box will be down converted from 1080i to 480p. But since DVD's are only 480p anyway, it's a great set for viewing them. REMEMBER that you must have a progressive DVD player and use the component cables in order to get the best picture, otherwise the picture will be somewhat grainy. And don’t forget to set your DVD player to 16x9 mode. from Circuitcity.com Hello, I am 15 and I purchased this tv for my bedroom. Joey is obviously a moron, I researched this subject for awhile before I purchased a TV. The reason that this TV is not as highly priced as the others is not because the materials to make this TV are less than the other EDTV's it is because Sylvania wants to capitolize on the idea of affordable plasma TVs. The HD signal coming from my box is great. from Circuitcity.com This was a great bargin, however, in order to get a very clear picture, I recommend using the Component Cables. Using the component cables made a huge difference with dark colors - took them from looking patchy/digitized to crisp and clear - amazing. from Circuitcity.com I was really suprised to fing a 42 in. Plasma at this price. from Circuitcity.com
