Bought this TV about 3 months ago and could not be happier. Spent over 3 hours over 2 days comparing TVs side by side in the store. In the end, the LG won me over. We had a $1,000 budget and wanted a 42". In that price range, there was NOTHING that competed with the LG, great blacks and fantastic contrast. We looked at both LCD and Plasma. The audio could be a little stronger but we have it plugged into our surround sound system so it doesn't affect us. And we got it for under $700! Overall, for the price, this had to be one of the best buys out there.

The delivery was excellent and we were not disappointed. This was a replacement set and I'm glad I bought it.

I have yet to mount this tv and use it, but I found it cheaper at HHGregg and purchased it there ($750). The HD cable hook up I purchased on Ebay for half the price ($24)they wanted at the store or online. I will update this review once I have used the tv for a bit.

I have used this tv for approx. 6 months and love it, great picture, very easy to set up and easy functions. I don't have HD yet, but the picture is very clear and sharp. I would recommend.

Great plasma tv, perfect for a room where you won't be using a BluRay. And for $750, how can ya go wrong?

Love my plasma, if your into sporting events you'll want the plasma, it has a sharper pic on motion due to the fact that plasma reacts faster than liquid cystal. You won't get that blur that the LCD leaves between frames. the hidden speakers also enhance the look of this sleek unit. I can't review reliability because I only had it about a month, but I think they have improved the Plasma TV's but you might want to invest in a extended warrantee? I chose not too but might not be a bad investment for at least an additonal year.
