Pretty much everyone on this forum will tell you that pannasonic plasma is the plasma on the market. I own the p50u50. Its a pretty basic plasma, but has a outstandaing picture. Its a bit dimmer then most plasmas. You just need to tweak the settings a bit. I used rhe munsil bkuray.
Whar you'll want to do is go tk best buy and check them out side by side. Please feel free to ask any questions.
