Got my 42PV8 last quarter of 2008 from SnS. After a month, I returned it and upgraded to 42PV80 and up to now my only HD tv. 'Was playing DVD's from the time I had it. I'll hang on to this for a while specially now that I have a AC Ryan media player hooked up a week ago. Viewing experience hasn't been the same. Lovin' every minute of it! This TV still rocks!!
