This is the best 50" 1080p Plasma on the market. I have the PED version- sat on a black glass stand (make sure its a big stand). Looks awesome, fantastic crisp picture from Sky HD, even better connected to PS3. No ghosting or any kind of blurring. Lots of bright colours and detail. If you buy this then your life will be happy.. as the song goes.. should be hooked up to surround sound system (make sure its a decent set up too). On board speakers are OK for normal tv but not for gaming or movies. What else can I say... go and buy it.
