review on 5/29/2011, bought 2/1/2001.
I decide for plasma because the price, my original intention was a 46 Led 3d, but very expense, I also change my requirements, since I want more screen to play multiplayer split screen, so with a 50" I have 4x25" in multiplayer game.
The image and sound are great. I am very satisfied with 3d quality. It also is thin like any LCD tv. dlna works. usb to see photo works, couldn't play videos
Here are my bad points:
- The screen is burned with a stripe in each side due watching channels that don't fill the whole screen. These don't go away. It should have a option to move the place where image appear on these channels, like all to left, or to right.
- after playing multiplayer it keep the 2 lines(cross) that split screen in 4, for a while, later on they disappear.
- No internet from TV, no sites that provide videos/movies.
- difficult to find 3d glasses to buy more.

I am using with the base, which I like.
I was able to adapt a support for the camera that capture moviment for a game console.

Going with a cheaper model, but very good, made the savings to buy a new console furniture, dvd 3d, hdmi cables
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, ethernet wired
Cons: no internet videos movies, no internet browising
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got the TV because it had 3D and the kit came with it. Plus the price was great. Everything on the TV is amazing but there are no apps, the All Share doesn't seem to support Mac's and the 3D can get blurry at times. But there are more pro's than cons on this TV so i'm happy.
Pros: Inexpensive, Built-in speakers, Bright display
Cons: no apps, the 3d can be blurry at times.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really enjoy this tv. I have used it for over a year now and not had any problems with the tv at all. I take good care of it and make sure I do my screen scrolling b/c its a plasma tv. I don't mind taking care of things. The tv does everything great. The 3D is great. I would tell anyone to buy it. All my friends love the tv too.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, 3d great
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better in dark room

I originally had this TV in my living room and the light from the room reflected on the TV glass which was very annoying to me. I have since moved it into my bedroom and I have really learned to appreciate it there.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable
Cons: very reflective screen
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad experience

I have only owned this TV for 8 months and since then I have had 5 repairs on it. FIrst the video went out, then it would power on and off by itself, then finally the audio went out. Great value for the money but you get what you pay for. ALso in hindsight, the control on the side are impossible to see in the dark. It looks nice that you cant see them when watching TV but not so great when you are trying to use them in a dimly lit room.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Plasma 3d model 680 2010 model

Great picture and value. The 3D is excellent as well as the HDTV viewing. I have had this set a year works flawless all year. Set is connected to Wii and two DVD players one 3D all works as expected. Motion action across screen is crisp as opposed to the LED/LCD sets even at 120/240 refresh rates. The plasma technology beats this by a mile.
Speakers could be bigger to product more sound image.
One drawback (minor) the hard wired ethernet connection has very limited applications and functionality when you do connect to the internet. I use my DVD player to replace this function wirelessly with more app's both from Samsung
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: wired ethernet lacks much functionality/apps
