Rated 80% by by c|net (May, 2012)If you can't bear to buy a plasma like the amazing Panasonic ST50, you will pay more for the HX850 but I think you'd be quite happy with it.

Released July, 2011
Rated 100% by by Allen-H.-West--HDTVOCDIf your thinking of buying this panel in the 55 inch size jump to the 60 inch as I got it for close to the same price when Vanns had an Amazon Labor Day Special and when I set it up its the smallest 60 inch panel Ive ever seen because its so beautifully streamlined - I had a 57 Sharp that was 5.5" thick and weighed 90lbs more and it's display area seemed larger.
