I drive my wife crazy when I decided to buy something of substantial value. I will research every possible source until I am satisfied with my decision to purchase. I originally set out to purchase an LCD and gave little thought to Plasma as I considered it an aged technology, but after researching and listening to plasma owners, former LCD owners and many high end reviews i couldn't ignore it. In my final stage I made 5 trips to the store and watched TV for a couple hours bouncing back & forth between various sets. In the end the Panasonic won out for a few reasons. First of all the store puts everything on vivid and this drives me nuts! I reached up and set the Panasonic to standard setting and it was beautiful. I then noticed how soothing and rich the picture looked compared to some of the harshly lit, overly bright LCDs. I already knew that Panasonic has had many generations of plasma and were good at it so I brought it home. Once in the home it was sweet out of the box. It was important that it display standard definition programming well as that isn't going away to soon. I am a sports buff and motion blur on some of the LCDs is annoying. This plasma does it all good. I don't know if CNET and a couple other reviewers got bad sets or what, but I find that it has NO noise problem? I sit 8 feet from the TV and it seems almost perfect.
LCDs are getting better sure, but they are still a couple years from these plasma sets!
