It is cheap, it works well, and it has great color due to the plasma technology

but

it is only Hd Ready resolution and uses DLP3D checkerboard pattern for 3D (half resolution in 3D mode). You will need the Vesa cable (not included in the european nvidia 3d vision package)
and it suffers from ghosting (slightly more than the samsung screens).

A DLP projector is preferred but this TV is still a good buy if you have no other options available.

I own this TV and am happy with my purchase. In games like Avatar or Dirt2 I do not notice any ghosting. And checkerboard does not really reduce the resolution, because in sum over both eyes you get the full screen resolution (1360x768). The effect is more that the picture looks a bit grainy.
I use the TV in conjunction with the 3D vision system and the iZ3D driver DLP license + ELSA revelator glasses.

You can get an idea of the ghosting etc.
