I spent a lot of time comparing LCD, LED and Plasma and decided on the Plasma. They've done a good job overcoming some of their previous problems. I'm so glad I made this choice.
This is the "E", 2012 version of the "D" from 2011, which has gotten very good reviews.
The picture is crisp, colors are vibrant, black is so BLACK! The on-screen set up is easy, the menu system is simple and just about anyone can figure it out without much help from the directions. The commands are logical and the options for sound and picture dynamics work well for HD, digital or standard cable incoming signals, which is great since we get all three in our area. Don't be dissuaded by the 720p; it give great picture quality. We had a 1080p and at this size (51") we see no difference, it's a non-issue. Several people have said that in on-line reviews and they are right, I'm glad we listened to them.
The only minor issue is the shiny screen; if a lamp is on in the room you may see it reflected in the screen. But we watch TV with the lights off so it's not a problem at all.
The weight is less than 50 lb. making it easy to set up. It comes with a plastic stand that seems flimsy as you put it together but it's not, and it's perfectly capable of holding the television securely and looks great once assembled with a Phillips head screwdriver and the 8 screws that come with it.

Comments about Samsung 51" 720p Plasma HDTV (50.7" actual diagonal size):
The televison works great I have a 15 x 10 living area and its perfect for the room. It has a little glare but only when it is sunny but then I'll just close my blinds and glare is gone. This is my second Samsung I also have the 1080p for my bedroom also great tv. The only con is I would've loved two more HDMI outputs. It has two and a component input as well. I would love to have my xbox, blue ray player, and mac mini to this, then I would've given it 5 stars.
