    I loved the TV itself. But It was delivered with missing parts that i had to attempt to get from the manufactuer. The seller was no help. I will not purchase electronics online again impossibe to tell if your getting new, used, refurbished or returned items and once you get it with missing parts you suffer as the buyer.

    "I have only owned this unit for 3 days. Before purchasing this HDTV I read all 83 available on line reviews. Here are my first impressions. This 42” plasma was purchased to be used in a Nebraska apartment which has access to a good outdoor antenna. Tuning to available HD over-the-air (OTA) signals was a consideration.

The black levels are deep, the colors are vibrant, and there are no false contours that I have been able to perceive. All things I was worried about before the purchase.... Read more

    My new TV is bomb. The picture is much better than I expected. HD channels are crystal clear when viewed from about 9 feet, which is the perfect distance for watching a 42 inch. If you get to 2 feet or less then the picture is slightly less sharp than a Sony 1080p. The surround sound feature is not as effective as my Sony. Thats how they get you I guess. They want you to get the home theater also. However, the TV has a feature for equalizing sound across all channels... Read more
