4Night and day difference from this model to last years  May 07, 2007
By Special K
There's a HUGE difference in the picture quality between this model and the one from last year. Don't waste your time with the small Terk antennas, they all stink for the money. The ANT301 is the best one I've found (I've tried 10 or more different ones) for OTA HD.

Be SURE to change the picture settings out of the box. The ones it ships with are terrible and might make you think the blacks aren't fantastic on this, when they ARE amazing. You need to set up EACH input.

Here's the settings for the component input (from AVSforum):

Mode: Movie

Contrast: 65 (58 for dark room/low light settings)

Brightness: 35 (36 for dark room/low light settings)

Sharpness: 0

Color: 48

Tint: G 54/46 R

Color temp: "Warm2"

Dynamic contrast: OFF

Black level: OFF

Edge enhancement: OFF

DNIE: OFF

DNR: OFF

Detailed settings:

Color space: WIDE

Gamma: 0

White balance:

R offset: 13

G offset: 15

B offset: 15

R gain: 13

G gain: 15

B gain: 15

5Jaw dropping HD  Jun 11, 2007
By D. Lew
I received this TV from Amazon via Eagle delivery last Saturday in perfect condition. No problems with the tv tilting on the stand like some people reported in the avs forums.

So I hooked up the cable and set everything up and I was in for a treat. Before I go any further I want to add that I went TV shopping at Circuit City to see what this TV or rather the hpt4254 would look like. The demo feed at circuit city was good but it never prepared me for what I would see with my own tv. My first time watching an HD channel was truly eye opening. It was akin to a religious experience on the grandest scale. The clarity of the image and the colors gave shame to the real world. That's how good this TV is. If you're hesitating and wondering whether this TV is good, it's not. It's better than good, it is awesome. The picture quality is bewildering that anything can look this good.

What does regular TV looks like? It looks ok like regular tv. But after watching HD why would you even want to watch regular tv? Buy this tv now! I gave it a 5 star rating for its awesomeness and you'll agree with me once you have your own TV.

5Amazing Picture, Amazing Price  Jun 05, 2007
By k9calamity
This television is the best plasma I have seen in a while. While I was shopping on a budget, I did think that this set looked better than many of the ones twice it's price. I especially like it's plethora of inputs. This TV is a must have if you are looking for a sleek, amazing, not pricey TV!

The only con I have for it is that the internal speakers stink.. But I have a sound system anyway.

4Sharp picture, but a little red  Apr 24, 2007
By S. Cea "726"
I am very pleased with this purchase. Amazon has the best price on the net. I ordered this TV last wednesday, and I am enjoying this TV as we speak! With free white glove delivery and quick shipping, this is my "Deal of the year!" There are some picture problems out of the box, the manufacturer settings suck. but minor tweaking will fix that. The picture is really sharp, but off air channels don't look so hot. Even Off air HD channels. I am using a terk antenna that's supposed to be really sexy. But so far, I am not impressed with the off air channels. Digital Cable looks wicked! Overal its a great TV at a great price, if it wasn't for the reddish hues and sucky off air channels, I would give this TV a 5.
