First off let me say Plasmas are much better picture than LCDs but yes they do consume more electricity than any 50" LCD. I compare the newest Viera 600hz and this side by side (actually two 600hz Vieras and this one). This one is clearly better picture. The Panasonic 720 and this 720P are actually higher than what is advertised. They are actually not 720p, 1280x720 but 768P or 1366 x 768.
"Brief Notes":
* Of what is not true anymore: At 600hz, this is faster than even the newer generation of LCDs so retail store use to push LCDs (esp. gamers) since the refresh rating.
* Burn in is not so much a factor any more. The screen saver kicks in early and Samsung has better technology to counterbalance the burn in effect that was in older generations.The 720p Viera X1 Series.
* TC-P50X1 clearly shows blacks better but not quality of picture. The X1 does not have that good of rating as you see from Amazon and other review sites.
If you have the money for a 1080p than go for it but I would go with a Plasma 768P, rather than spending about 40 percent more this is the greatest bang for the buck even though labeled as a 720p.
This generation of Samsung Plasmas rule. Samsung LCDs are professionally reviewed as the best but I have not seen a better looking TV than a Samsung whether it be a 768P or a 1080P.

I just got this TV yesterday and I'm are still in shock! It is truly amazing! I don't even have HD programing for it and I'm almost afraid to get it because the SD programing (from DirecTv) is such an awesome picture. I mean how much shock can I take, lol. It takes less than 5 minutes to set up and the only adjustment I have made so far is to turn the color down a little because the reds were so red they hurt my eyes!
The sound is perfectly fine and I feel no need for a surround sound setup. I love the remote too, but since I have a DirecTV remote I don't even need it except to adjust settings on the TV. The size of this TV is perfect if not almost too big although I'm sure I'll get used to, lol. I watched a movie last night and could almost count the individual hairs on peoples heads. I sit about 11 feet from the tv. Amazing, just amazing. Delivery was even two days early and the man brought the TV in, unwrapped it and discarded the box. He set it up where I wanted it and even turned it on to check that it worked. That left me with the only thing left to do was go through the easy on screen setup. I had been afraid that TV would be difficult to set up what with all the new technology, but it was so easy that even my 80 year old Mom could do it! No need to look any further, this is the TV you want! The delivery man also said that he has NEVER had anyone return this TV! Enjoy.

First let me say that I own a Samsung 40" LCD 1080p, and I am very happy with that one and really like Samsung for home electronics. I found this deal from a Google search because Fry's had the PN50B450 on sale for 1,099.00. I found it cheaper through Google shopping at Best Buy. Though we had some very questionable service at best buy (make sure they don't set the plasma it on it's side, they know better!).
This TV is just a great TV. I am viewing HD Clear QAM channels through the basic cable line and they look AWESOME. The only thing I ran into is the HDMI ports require the cable to be HDMI 1.3, so my DVD player has yet to work because I have to get a new cable. It says this in the manual though, so I wasn't alarmed.
I looked for reviews like this, and I especially liked the one from the guy who used to install Home Theater Systems. This is a great TV and if you can find it at a good price, buy it!

Taking the plunge into HDTV from a CRT, I'm mostly pleased, and with decently-transferred DVDs the image quality is what I was hoping for -- a viable home theater.
I made the mistake of making the Planet Earth DVDs the first thing I played. They almost looked better on my old CRT, and I was crestfallen that I'd just thrown away $900, but putting on a few other DVDs showed it to be a DVD issue, not the TV (I'm running a progressive scan DVD player with component cables directly to the TV).
I'm also running Yamaha's entry-level receiver, HTR-5830, and unfortunately I'm noticing a little lip-sync issue. The next one up, HTR-5840, has lip-sync correction.
One area that was a huge improvement from CRT was with the XBox 360. Really impressive.
So to those making the move into HDTV for the first time, be aware of factors that will make it a less-than-ideal experience, but it's a great TV for the price and in the right circumstances.
Update----------------------------
Not having bought a receiver in a few years, I thought all I'd need to have the receiver handle all outgoing video traffic was one cable. Evidently it's now acceptable for a receiver to only transmit the same kind of traffic that goes in; in other words, video input from composite-, component- and HDMI-connected sources would need three different cables out to the TV.
It's a scam that video conversion isn't standard in today's A/V receivers.

I have had this TV for about a year. It is the best TV you can get for $1000 or less. Only downside is weak speakers, and I have surround sound to cure that.
