"1.09mm dot pitch"

?!?!

Surely this can't be right - could they mean 0.109...?

IMO, .29 ("standard") sucks and .25 is barely passable.

3000:1 brightness? Is that correct? I'd thought 680:1 was excellent -
OTOH, I don't know what units are being used. So that'd be something to
check. If this unit has finageled the decimals, the brightness might only
be 300:1...something to look into closely.

I've never heard the term "nit" as a color measure, only as a flea egg (as
in "nit wit"). Again, something to check out. Maybe there is some info at
www.tomshardware.com?

Overall, I'd look for a great deal more info from other sources before
making any decision.

Don't know about dot pitch, but contrast ratio for a Plasma is usually very
good compared to others, so 3000:1 sounds about right. Toshiba is working
on some new tech that will give up to 10,000:1 ratios.

I think everything has been covered pretty well, but, I would also add that
being able to see it in person makes a huge difference. All the numbers in
the world don't mean anything unless you can see that you like it. Also,
its an EDTV, not an HDTV, which unless you are really trying to save money
then I would save a few hundred more and get the HDTV. Anything that says
780p and better would be good, this one only does TV (480i called SDTV) and
DVD progressive scan (480p called EDTV) resolutions, and forget about
plugging a computer into that. Other than that, I would say all the things
that were once wrong with plasmas have since been corrected, except for the
power draw and heat, which will always be an issue due to the tech.

I read the other posts after I jotted that, so I learned a few things - I
guess I'm experiencing "the acceleration doe to technology" <g!>
