Good reviews on Amazon for the most part. Looks like a great price on a 50" 720 tv.
A few bad reviews here and there and the ratings go down on this deal...wow

keep in mind that this is not a 1080p / 120hz. So the price is good not fantabulous

I have this TV and put several hours a day on it for the past 2 years... I love it and think the picture is awesome. Some of my relatives have recently purchased $2500 LCD's that can not hold a stick to the picture on the TV.
Also regarding the AVS Forum link and people complaining about POD (pop of death) this was mostly (if not entirely) isolated to the older version of this set the P50-HDM. To my knowledge there have been very few POD's on the P50HDTV10A or later sets.

Companies can go bankrupt. Stocks can go to zero. 50" plasma television prices cannot not go to zero, not in a scenario that would be good for anybody anyway.

Just for my curiosity, this set is 1080i correct? I've been told 720p is better than 1080i, is that correct?

Technically, it's a 1366x768 pixel display capable of scaling 1080i and 720p input.

NO!! This is 720p panel. However the scaler will display a 1080i signal.
To be honest 50" @ 720p is a little to grainy for my taste.

I have this TV as well and love it. Picture is Great. Most of time use as computer monitor with my Media Center PC and works well for that. Paid $1200 for mine 2 years ago.

There is no such thing as a 120hz plasma.

Frankly, I would pay $50 or so more to get last year's 720p Panasonic or Samsung plasmas.
