My Experience: WOW, a 42 inch 10:000 to 1 contrast ratio, 231 billion colors, very attractive style, all for 1,800.00
Beautifull HD picture! All for 1,500 ( with Vizio "March Madness" incentive ) gotta be the deal of the year for a 42 inch plasma, appears to have very good quality for 1,799 reg. price at Costco. Great HDTV, for the money to value ratio.

Problems: None so far, love this choice, would easily do it again. Only time will tell on reliability, this set is new to the market, but I anticipate no real problems with this monitor, hope I`m right. However, had a LCD before and to be honest, I prefer LCD over plasma, things just kinda worked out this way, no regrets though, overall value is just to outstanding!!!
