good to know that and it's the tv that looked the best at wal mark when i went to look at them for the price i hope its a good tv with it have heard some disparaging things though. maybe i should look around more

well after i did some research about plasma vs. lcd discovered like everything if soomebody as one theyll defend their position very well so i went to newegg looked at the stats and reviews and found that at least the sub thousand level plasma has a higher performance for a similar price
