My Experience: Very good image quality with DVD input and TV (satellite). The colors of the image is smooth, sharp and clean.
High contrast - 1:4000 and high working hours - 60,000.
a lot of physical inputs that include RGB/component/composite etc.
The connections are on the side of the screen and can be disadvantage (most Plasma screen are on the bottom).
Optional speakers that cost less vs other Plasma.
Can define 3 audio inputs to any Video inputs you wish.
The looks of the Plasma is clean and shaped.
All the operation buttons are hidden and located below the panel.
2-3 Years warranty - very important.

Problems: After day or two I have found out that one of the pixels is stuck and not working.
The reseller commit to replace and so he done and replace a new one in 24 hours (very good policy).

Missing feature: PIP can be useful if you have few inputs and you would like to see both on the same time.
