This 60-inch plasma HDTV monitor uses groundbreaking display technology to deliver superior image clarity, color, and brightness in large-format television that's less than 4 inches thick. Its 1,280 x 720p resolution produces extremely detailed imagery, and its super-sharp (550:1) contrast ratio delivers rich colors and deep blacks. High brightness (500 cd/m2) gives you an incredibly bright picture, even in well-lit areas.
Aspect Ratio Correction intelligently resizes video and computer images to 16:9 widescreen or 4:3 conventional formats, while Zenith's Intelligent Image Scaling uses a Faroudja/Sage scan converter to seamlessly convert TV video data to PC formats without distortion or cropping of images (in either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio).
RS-232 controls and NTSC, HD, VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA inputs makes the unit compatible with DVD players, VCRs, computers, digital broadcasting, multimedia, and traditional video sources.
1 I Actually OWN one, unlike the previous reviewers
This TV is Big! The picture is fantastic, I read and reviewed hundreds of Plasma's before purchasing this television. I considered purchasing a DLP, LCD, even a front progection system. When it came down to it, this plasma kicked all of them out. The picture was better than all of them. No matter the brand this plasma was the best picture. Some complained to me about the 25,000 hour limit on the screen UNTIL I told them. 25,000 MEANS watching TV 4 hours a day...the TV would last 17.12 years. In 10 years every tv will be obsolete.

Again, this review is for the TV. The TV is fantastic, everyone who comes over says, "Wow!" or "Blank (fill in the blank), that's nice."
I have no problems with the TV, it looks nice and runs great. What more can you want?
I posted this review because of all the research I did looking for a plasma only to find stupid reviews from idiots that had never seen or owned one, only fools that had seen the picture and said, "that looks nice."
Hope this helps someone.
2 Great Picture in a Big Set
I've seen this monitor on display at a retail outlet and wish I could afford to buy one. The picture is bright, crisp, detailed. Colors are vivid. It's presence is rivaled only by the Toshiba 50HP82 and the Panasonic TH-50PHD5UY, both 50" screens. The Zenith has PIP (like the Toshiba), many other plasma sets do not. You need an external tuner, like the Sony SAT-HD200 (if you have Directv) and speakers are extra. If you have no budget and you really need 60", the Zenith is the one. Make sure you search online retailers for the best price.
3 Real good tv
The tv is one of the best i have gotten so far. It was given to me as a present from (...) but when I turned it on, it was the best. The Picture is clear,and very lifelike, I say on of the best tv's out there, there is no flaw in it, I think the price is right for a TV this good
