Desribe-Input-Signals:

I have not yet tried a true high definition signal into the screen, but component hook-ups from DVD including Playstation2 have proven brilliant, with excellent contrast. DVI hook-up is pending. Broadcast antenna and satellite receiver in SDTV signals have been fair.

Desribe-Plasma-Installation:

The display is mounted within a homemade entertainment center on a wall mounted swivel system. Very clean look to mounting system and screen.

Desribe-Plasma-Functions:

The on-screen menu is simple to use, as is the remote. The input selection is basic, and the physical layout of inputs are easy to access and interchange.

Desribe-Buying-Experience:

I purchased the screen on-line from PlasmaDepot. It arrived about a week later in perfect condition. The website and its links were most helpful in learning about plasma displays, and multiple third party reviews supported the vendor as reliable.

Q:  Describe the picture of the plasma TV/LCD monitor in terms of clarity, color reproduction, contrast and brightness.

A:  Color is great, the blacks are great in the picture, but the bars on either side or on top and bottom are a bit grey. Only having the TV a few days, and not watching a lot of it in general, it makes it a bit difficult to compare. The brightness is overwhelmingly clear and provides tons of lght and color. There appear to be no differences in contrast between this monitor and my previous 32" CRT TV. The clarity is so good that with an older movie (Lost in Space 1998), the greaphics seems almost childish at some points. Technology has come so far in that field, but it is almost unnoticeable in a CRT.

Q:  What are your general comments on your Plasma TVs/LCD Monitors? How do you like it?

A:  I love the monitor. It is a great addition to my home theater set-up. It sits almost flat to the wall, even tilted. At first, I though that a TV hang 3-5" from the wall would look stupid, but it fits very nicely. You don't even seem to notice that it is there.

Q:  How would you best describe the design and looks of the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor?

A:  The design and looks are fairly plain. It looks like a big TV screen. I actually overwhelmingly prefer the Pioneer Elite PRO 1000's looks and style, but the color repro was not near as good and the price was significantly more due to the Urushi finish. I would like future models to be a bit more stylish since it is almost a piece of art.

Q:  What is the Plasma TV/LCD used for? A:  Bedroom Q:  Please explain how the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor was installed.

I installed it. I built a wall using 2x6's in an existing TV niche built into my home. I then mounted the bracket to the newly built wall and placed the TV in the bracket.

Q:  Where did you purchase your Plasma TV/LCD Monitor? How was your buying experience?

A:   DTVCity.com - The experience was phenomenal........I would highly recommend to anyone looking for high-end video monitors to purchase from Laura at DTVCity.com. She was extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. I am 100% completely satisfied with this vendor!

Q:  Describe the picture of the plasma TV/LCD monitor in terms of clarity, color reproduction, contrast and brightness.

A:  The clarity is average when viewing regular cable tv using an analog box. In fact, it may be deemed poor considering it accentuates the defects in the broadcast and i get Humbars on some stations. HOWEVER, when using my DVD player - the TV is absolutely MAGINFICENT! The sound, the colors, the clarity, brightness.... ALL just plain AWESOME!

Q:  What are your general comments on your Plasma TVs/LCD Monitors? How do you like it?

A:  The Panasonic 50' Plamsa TV is truly magnificent. It is just so impressive and awe inspiring hanging on the wall in my bedroom. In fact, I spent the entire day just viewing movies on this wonderful piece of equipment.

Q:  How would you best describe the design and looks of the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor?

A:  Like I said above - the design is sleek and just incredibly impressive when you see it hanging on the wall. It is truly grand and makes a powerful statement.

Q:  Where did you purchase your Plasma TV/LCD Monitor? How was your buying experience?

A:   DTVCITY.COM . EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! Came very quickly.
