No regrets! 
This TV is awesome! I've never had any problems with it and the picture it delivers is flawless! I have played DVD's on it, watched HDTV with an antenna, and play computer games with it and it work great for each scenario. I have recommended this TV to everyone I know. I did a lot of research before I purchased this TV because I did not know if I wanted to get this one or a Sony. But I have no regrets now that I have bought this one!
Great TV
I have owned this tv for over half a year and I love the set. The picture is second to none and the quality of the product is great. The only thing that I have an issue with is the remote that comes with the tv. It does not allow me to control my TIVO dvr and there are certain functions that I am unable to perform when controlling my digital cable box. However, I would buy this tv over any other that I have experienced, it continually impresses me.
Beautiful TV at a great price
I've had this TV for about a month now and am very happy with it. It has a beautiful picture. We have used the standard cable input as well as a progressive DVD player (not an up-converting model) with component input. Both have looked really nice. When browsing for TVs at Best Buy I noticed that many looked really awful with just a standard TV (non-HD) input. This TV does not have that problem.
What really drove me to this TV was the price. Plasma has a much nicer picture than LCD, and this price was awesome compared to others in its size range (including LCDs). We sit about 8-10 ft from the TV, and see no need for 1080i resolution for a 42" TV. The 720p is plenty good enough. 480p (DVD, standard digital TV) looks good as well.
The only potential downsides to this TV -- it does have a significant amount of glare. I control that with window blinds and room lighting. I don't watch a lot of daytime TV, so it doesn't bother me much. Also, the controls feel rather slow (especially changing channels). I only compare the speed to our old CRT TV, though, so I don't know how that compares with other plasma or LCD TV's.
1st Time Plasma User - Very Satisfied Consumer
First of all, I would just like to commend the Eagle service. I am on the 3rd floor in my apartment building, and getting a TV of this size up to my Apt would be difficult enough, and this service made those issues irrelevant.
As for the TV:
I was so dead set on the LCD 40-42", and 1080P, but after I did some research, I realized that 1080P isn't going to be in wide use for quite some time. So I noticed this TV had a contrast ratio of 15,000 to 1. Most LCD TV's had 10,000 to 1 or so, so I viewed this as a huge plus
I did more research of this TV on AVS forum, to make sure that there were no issues, manufacturing defects etc, and to my knowledge, I was unable to find such issues.
I set up the TV on the wall using a Peerless mount, and when I finally turned the TV on and connected it to an HD source.. all I can say was WOW!! I am totally hooked. We ended up putting this in our bedroom, meanwhile we have a 30" Samsung Slimfit TV in the Living Room, so you must imagine there is now a lot of TV watching in Bed.
In summary:
For those who are hesistant to go with a Plasma - trust me on this - Do not hesitate, and go and get this TV you will not be disappointed!!
If you're considering this model....BUY IT!
Having researched/compared hdtvs for several months, I could not be more happier with the decision made to purchase this model. Especially catching it on Amazon for under $1000! Delivery was quick and professional. Upscaling dvd player: picture is flawless, Directv HD: picture is amazingly clear, Directv SD: picture is actually very good (but HD will not take long to spoil you). I have found the factory picture settings to be just fine. If you don't like the factory settings, there are (what seems to be) endless possiblities of picture adjustments at your disposal. Sound is great (has an EQ). TV looks great on the wall. If you're reading this while researching...stop now and buy this model. You will not be disappointed.
