I really shouldn't complain...but why not? We have a Sony 46in 1080p, 2 yrs. old ($1,600 then), mid-level model. Image quality of HD stuff (Verizon FIOS, only transmits 1080i currently)knocks me out. Picture has resolution, detail, brightness, color..almost a feeling that you walk through the damn screen into the scene, a depth and 'solidity' to objects, just breathtaking. And I haven't gotten tired of the experience. (I do not work for SONY, no other disclosures). So for my 70th birthday, I decided to get a plasma 40-42in 1080p to watch "my stuff": plasma picture is better, blacks this, color that, price. So I get the S1 and the picture doesn't measure up to the SONY. I've adjusted/played with the modes, adjusted the brightness, saturation, sharpness parameters, etc., and only with some material, here and there, do I get the 'SONY' experience. Unfair comparison? Any Ideas? Get more detail about Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-P42S1 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV.
