Panasonic TH-42PD60U 42-Inch Plasma EDTV
Excellent Set
I have had mine since January 2006.  No problems at all.  We had planned to buy an HD Plasma, but when I saw this one I was blown away.  This set is EDTV, not HDTV.  In the store this set was on the same channel as the HD's were on.  The Signal was in HD (must point that out) and this EDTV dominated the room.  I could not see spending more money on a smaller TV with a less impressive picture. For the hose heads out there, 480p IS considered HD.  Can you recieve 480p on a standard def tv? No, you cannot.  480p displays twice the detail as 480i (standard).  Pros:  ***Cost verses HD of the same size            ***Unbelieveable Picture.  Looks equal to or better than most HD sets.  Including            Sony, JVC and Mitsubishi.            ***Large, but not too imposing            ***Very easy to use remote  Cons: ***Limited connections in the back            ***Somewhat hard to find instock              I don't have any complaints about this product.  I would buy another just like if I had the need to do so.  Check this TV out before making a purchase.  You might find yourself pleased, and saving a ton of cash.    Update****  In respones to the other review from a retired person.....  I am an engineer.  480i only displays 240 lines of resolution at one time, and shifts the other 240 lines in the next cycle.  480p displays ALL 480 lines at the same time.  That being said. 1080i displays only 540 lines at one time and shifts the other 540 in the next cycle.  the diffference between the 2 displays is a mere 60 lines of resoultion at ONE TIME and about $1000 or more.    1080p and is another story, and will show a little difference between 480p and 1080p.   A similar comparison would be between a 600mhz computer and an 800mhz computer.  The increase in performance is very slight, and hardly noticeable.  The best way to see this is to go to a store and view this set when going toe to toe with a true HD.  Bury your ego, and  you will note that the difference between the 2 formats is not worth the money.
