It took me the better part of the day to disassemble and reassemble my entertainment center to fit this behemoth in!! So, after a whopping 4 hours of viewing time all I can say is WOW!
I don't know if it's just a better TV, a bigger TV, or if it's going from 720p to 1080p but damn this thing blows away the Toshiba I have been using. I went with Plasma over LCD and LED-LCD for a few reasons. First of all price! Right now Plasma is the "older" technology of the bunch and you can get a hell of a lot more TV for the money compared to the "newer" technologies. Other factors included the faster refresh rate and the deeper blacks. I watch a lot of sports and play a lot of video games so I really did not want any "lag" in the picture. So far it looks pretty damn good. I watched a few football games today and there was very little if any lag. I have a friend that has a 65 inch LCD and there is a ton of lag while watching sports on the TV. I really didn't want to see that on a TV I just spent $1500 on.
So far I am pretty damn happy! I had to remove the top off of my entertainment center to put the TV on top of the base, but it looks pretty good IMO. I had to place all of my gaming systems and the other components on the shelves in the base of the entertainment center and remove the doors until I can have glass put in them. So far I am digging it!
I'll update this thread as the TV "breaks in". I bought it at Best Buy because of the 3 years no interest sale. Also included in the deal was a free "calibration". The BB Geek Squad will come to my house after a month of break in and calibrate it with all of their fancy equipment. So long as it was free I'll take it!
