Very good choice for a plasma screen
By D. Marks
I've owned this model for about six weeks now. It's my first large screen TV purchase but I researched pretty thoroughly beforehand.Pros:1. Beautiful picture both in HD and regular signal. DVD's and even VHS tapes look good as well2. Very competitive price. Most 50" plasmas are at least $800 more.3. Plenty of inputs and outputs. Multiple inputs for component and composite devices plus a VGA port for PC's.Cons:1. Draws a lot of power. It's 450 watts but that's in line with other similar plasmas.2. Has only a HDMI input for digital whereas many devices such as PC's and cable boxes have DVI. Requires a pricey conversion cable to use. Luckily, I think the component connection looks as good as the HDMI one.3. Controls and menus could be more efficient. Common commands like input selection require arrowing through menus instead of just scrolling through using a single button like most TV's.So far so good though.

Time Bomb
By C. Simpson
I purchased this TV just over a year ago. 9 days after my warranty expired, it died.Now I didn't purchase the service plan, so I wasn't going to complain (at first), but as it turns out HP doesn't provide replacement parts to anyone that doesn't have a service plan, so essentially my TV is a paperweight now.Every single TV repair technician I found had the same story about how HP WILL NOT PROVIDE PARTS FOR THEIR TV's.From what I read on other opinion websites, even WITH the service plan, it can take weeks to get replacement parts in.Now I expected NOTHING for free. I didn't purchase the PSP, so thats the way it goes, but for HP to make the consumer have to replace their TV in a year is unacceptable business practice.FYI...Sony, Panasonic, et al provide replacement parts much more readily.Do yourself a favor and take into account how easy it will be to get service on your TV if you need it.Having said all of that, I'm particularly disappointed because I thought this unit was excellent...while it actually worked.

Great picture/size for price
By Navin Ghisiawan
I would give this 4.5 only because it does not have the bells and whistles of the nuch more expensive TV'sGreat plasma for price. Picture quality ranks up there with Panasonic,Pioneer,LGPros:Excellent picture, sleek look, wall mount friendly,Digital and analog tuners work greatCons:Could use some more convenience/user customizable features, remote pretty simple, sound on included removable speakers not great, but who cares.
