PARENT - Sampo PME-42X6 42-Inch HDTV-Ready Widescreen Plasma TV
Only one bothersome aspect
The one thing I have a problem with is the muddy dark colors.  Granted, it doens't show up much, but when it does I say, &quot;I wish that looked clearer.&quot;  I had to adjust the color,contrast,bright, temp, and tint.  That is easy though.  Other than that, the HDTV pictures(although I only have 5 channels of HDTV) are very impressive.  I don't even like soccer, but soccer in HD is fun to watch.  You can see the little hexagons on the ball! Great colors.  Great price.  Don't be fooled by the Gateway EDTV.  Make sure you get the XGA plasma!  Do it!  By the way,  based on 8 hours of use a day(which rarely happens),  the tv should last 7-8 years.  4 hours a day=12-13 years.  It'll last a while.  Have you driven the same car for that long?  You'll probably want a new TV in 7-8 years anyway.
