Plasma TV Reviews: Plasma TV for Less

Reviews

Upon arrival of the TV, I noticed there was a scratch on the screen. I opted not to send the TV back with the delivery people because it was a Christmas present, and wanted my family atleast to be able to open something on Christmas. Although, I did sign a statement upon it's arrival that I wanted a replacement. I was told this would not be a problem. It is now almost 3 months later and I am still waiting. I was offered $65.00 off, which to me is a insult. Therefore, I would not recommend doing business with this company.

After doing much research and finally pulling the trigger and buying Panasonic's V10 plasma model, I was shocked to recently find many widespread reputable reports that black levels on Panasonic 2008 and 2009 model plasmas may double or in some cases triple after approximately 1000 hours of use. At this point I can only wish I had found this information before I made my purchase, so I'm passing it on to anyone else who may be considering any of these models. My V10 picture is fantastic at the moment, but I can only wait in fear that I may have spent $2K dollars on something that will lose one of it's best qualities after only months of normal use. The issue is described and commented in detail here: [...] [...] Good Luck!!!!

Bought at Sears using price match from Best Buy for $695. I couldn't be happier. Used a cheetah mount to put up. Easy to use. Picture looks great. I'm not a nerd about TV and held off buying a new TV for a long long time. For the price - this was just incredible. There's an abundance of good reviews for this and I've been thrilled with it as well.

Have only had it for three weeks, but I have no complaints. Since we only have standard def satellite at the moment, this tv really shows its potential when playing the PS3. Lights and darks are excellent. Speakers are more than adequate for our living room. A large room may benefit from a surround sound system. Even though it's only 720p, it is well worth it for the price I paid ($719 plus tax with free shipping) If you're looking for an entry level hdtv, this is an excellent choice.

First off, I want to validate my review by saying I have seen some crazy good TV's- Some of the Sony's look as if the image is coming off the screen. I understand what a perfect picture looks like. OK- This TV is amazing for the price. I have to wear reading glasses and have the beginnings of a halo in my left eye. A big picture was the most important thing to me- the crispness just isn't going to be there for me, but I recognize it when I see it. I had a budget of $800 and this TV was delivered to my door for that price with 1 year onsite warranty. Can't beat that. I have U-Verse, but not HD signal. It honestly is not worth it to me. With my 7 year old Panasonic DVD player, the picture is amazing. It would look even better with a Blu-Ray, I am sure. That will be my next purchase. I did just come off of free HD for a week with U-Verse and it was pretty awesome, I have to admit. I will not pay extra for the signal, however. Let's just say I'm an economist. If you buy this TV, you probably won't be disappointed. It is NOT 1080p, and you must understand that. It IS probably one of the best 720p TV's (in my opinion, of course).
