Philips 42PF7320A 42-Inch Widescreen Plasma HDTV
has its ups and downs
we did a lot of research b4 we bought this tv.  Looked at all reviews we could find on the internet, went to the store a few times to look at tv's... and it looked great in the store.  Got it home, and its give and take.  From far away, it looks AWESOME.  but if you're any closer than 3 feet, it looks really pixelated.  we were watching a dvd... fast action, it looked TERRIBLE up close, and kinda fuzzy from a good distance.  It looks like theres a shadow on all letters on this tv.  And when we tried to hook up HDTV it looks AWFUL (but for now we're hoping thats just the cable box, not the tv).  But things are quickly looking worse.  We bought this last night to watch the Rose Bowl.... wasnt superb, but better than our puny tv.  But we're real back and forth on if we're gonna keep it, or look into a CRT HDTV... bigger and bulkier, so we arent too sure yet. <br />The audio is AWESOME however.  and as per the manual, they have an extended one on CD-ROM.. much cheaper than a huge book, I'm sure.  Havent looked yet to see how in-depth the cd is.  The tv was very easy to install, and for its size, is very lightweight.  we're just nervous about the grainy look.  some advice... if you buy this in a store to take it home, this has to stand up, it cant lay down.  which the guy at sears mentioned it after we laid it down... hoping that those few minutes didnt screw it up.  So be prepared to have the space to keep it upright if you buy it in person.  And Sams Club has it for a great price.  $1897, cheapest I've seen so far.
