I had been investigating some of the LED models especially the back lit ones from LG and Toshiba. The LG 47LH90 was on sale from Sears at a decent price along with its home theater but somehow it got sold out pretty quickly. Hearing that the LED tv's match the quality of plasma with lower power consumption I got attracted to them. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the backlit LED's at a decent price and hence had to fall back to a plasma. Earlier this year I had read raving reviews of Panasonic 50PZ85U and saw that at local Costco for $1299 but it got sold before they discounted the price further. Anyway, the 50PG10 is latest version of the same model and had similar reviews from hometheatermag so I looked at that. After a lot of research, I finally pulled the trigger when Amazon offered very sweet deal during the black friday week. The TV arrived yesterday and I hooked it up with a local antenna (we dont have cable) and a PS3 that also arrived yesterday. I was worried about the brightness of the TV - if it would be good enough as the reviews in general complained about it. Fortunately, I had no issues with the brightness and it was pretty decent for the ambient lighting I had at my place. I tried netflix streaming (Pan's Labyrinth) through PS3 and found that the quality was amazing - later realized that netflix uses HD when the equipment supports HD. Next I tried my favorite Gladiator DVD and Resident Evil (2nd part). Gladiator has very rich colors and the first battle scene gives a pretty good idea about the quality of the tv. Again, I was pleased with what I saw in the THX mode. The Vivid mode had better brightness but caused to wash out certain areas. Next, I reviewed the fight in the church scene from Resident Evil and capability of the tv amazed me in terms of handling the contrast. Most of the other tv's never could handle the contrast of this scene very well. In all, I am very impressed with this TV so far. It also seems that PS3 has very good upconversion for DVD's. I will post more after review some of my favorite movies that would test this unit. In particular, here are the movies that I am going to review: Spiderwick Chronicles Narnia Spiderman 3 Beowulf Underworld Evolution Golden Compass Ice Age 2 Cars Finally, after a lot of reviews and investigation I decided to purchase this TV.
