Title of review overall its great
What are the strengths? Very nice looking. DVI, VGA, Component inputs. Built in amplifier. All my games look great. Stretch option (4:3 images streched to 16:9 size) looks very nice.
What are the weaknesses? Some textures look slightly weird when looked upon up close. Lack of multiple inputs. No speakers OR stand!
Summary The 42" plasma display offers superior picture quality with high picture contrast and brightness. Designed to meet your needs, the FWD-42PV1 provides multiple mounting options, a choice of colors and handles television, HD content and PC signals. If you can overlook some minor faults it’s a good enough TV. I like my new TV and you should go out and get it.

Title of review Speakers missing.
What are the strengths? It’s a very nice looking TV. The DVI, VGA and Component (through VGA adapter) inputs are well defined and easy to access. This TV sports a built-in amplifier. All my games look great. The stretch option (4:3 images stretched to 16:9 size) is a plus and looks very nice.

What are the weaknesses? This TV is slightly hard to tweak/calibrate. Some textures look slightly low-rez when looked upon up close. Lack of multiple inputs will definitely give non-techies a huge headache. It has no included speakers OR stand. Plus it also lacks an RF cable input.

Summary It's great looking piece with all options of morden connection. The only things missing are the speakers and stands which are quite expensive as standalones. I'm using my home theater system so it works out good for me. It has a great picture quality, sharpness and EDTV, but the result looks quite like HDTV. It short I'm satisfied with this great piece.
