This, is the tv that made me convert from LCD
This is my third HDTV I had in the past year and a half. I bought a Olevia 232v lcd last summer and decided to upgrade the brand and size and got the Samsung a530 40 inch lcd tv.

Once I saw the picture it had I was surprised it was being sold below $1500 and returned my Samsung after owning it for 2 weeks (where it was calibrated).

Excellent TV With a Stunning Picture
I recently bought the 42PZ80U for $899 and I've been using it for about 2 months. I think it's an excellent buy even around $1000.

Picture:
I was a little skeptical of the virtue of plasma's over LCD's because, in those white-washed, warehouse stores, the difference in contrast looks to be negligable. I was wrong. This set produces outstanding blacks. I have another LCD in the house and I didn't know what I was missing. Contrast ratio on this set is very, very good. Blu- .... Read more
