Panasonic Plasma + lots of inputs = solid television
This was my first HDTV I purchased myself. Having roommates, I was always able to utilize theirs instead of buying one myself. But this allowed me to get one of my own, and I have not yet been disapointed. First off, the TV has a great picture. This is in the living room and the TV is about 10 feet away from where you sit and it is perfect for this environment. The images are crisp and clear. The colors are bright and vibrant. All in all, when watching sports, regular television or movies - when the set is showing HDTV, it has a great picture. The other major feature that I love about this TV is the number of inputs. Right now on the TV, I have hooked up a cable box, 2 game systems and a WD TV Live. And this doesn't come close to taking up all the inputs. The TV has inputs for 3 HDMI inputs, 2 component inputs, 2 composite inputs. The only thing is really lacks is a input for a computer (VGA or DVI). This TV does lack a lot of the new bells and whistles of newer TVs, like internet apps (YouTube, Hulu, etc), but I have those through another device. All in all, this is a great TV, and you can find really good price breaks with it too. I highly recommend it to friends and family.
