Title of review good job!!!
What are the strengths? This state-of-the-art plasma screen technology gives you widescreen HD resolution of up to 1024 x 768p pixels. It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures with optimum brightness and superb colors. Active Control is a unique and intelligent way of optimizing picture quality by measuring and analyzing the incoming signal to automatically adjust picture quality settings.
What are the weaknesses? i am finding it difficult to find any flaws.
Summary Active Control with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the picture brightness depending on the room light conditions. it is an excellant tv. it is my pride and my neighbours envy.

Title of review Great performance.
What are the strengths? I like this tv irrespective of what people might say about the ambilight system. I like the effect the ambilight gives to this tv. And i think that the sound system and picture quality are really good.
What are the weaknesses?
Summary Overall a decent tv and the stand makes the installation less cumbersome. Full 50 inches give you wider pictures which make for joyful viewing. Very easy to use and you can sit infront of this tv all day long and you will still not get bored.

Title of review Ambilight scare
What are the strengths? I like almost everything with the exception of the ambilight system. The audio quality is also quite moderate. Nothing exceptional in this tv just that it performs all the functions of a normal plasma tv
What are the weaknesses? It has an ambilight system which could very well ruin the tv.
Summary It is a little on the expensive side and yet it doesnt give the features it should. I cant say that the picture quality is very smooth or clear. Its just very ok in quality. Overall this is not a great tv. And moreover there is a fear of ruining the tv with the ambilight system.

Title of review
What are the strengths? It has a lot of extra features, additional input sockets and a HDMI input too. It comes packed with an additional stand too. It has the ambilight system which makes the already good looking TV look even better.
What are the weaknesses? Slightly on the expensive side, ambilight can ruin the screen and picture quality, which already needs improvement.
Summary The TV was slightly above the budget i had set but somehow it swung me in. It looks really good and the ambilight makes it look even more cool. The stand the provide with the TV makes installation so much easier. Picture quality is not upto the mark though and i have heard that the ambilight can worsen the picture quality.
