After looking at all the different plasmas and quality of each for 2 hours my wife and I choose this one because it stood out far most better than the rest. The anti-glare screen is very good no reflections from outside light. I would recommend this product to everyone

I literally just purchased this unit, only to find out there's a whole new generation of Panasonic plasmas coming out between now and April. Buy this line for the price, but be forewarned that there's new models for 2008...
