 Superb deal Dec 26, 2008
Paid just over $1,000 from amazon delivered. Comparable 50" 720p offerings from Samsung and Panasonic are typically going for more than this. This is my second Hitachi plasma, I paid $6,000 for a 42" when I was living in Japan 4 years ago; it's still going strong, no burn issues and a truely superb picture so I had no reservations going that way again.
Pro's
+good connectivity set off to the side (this is important because with a tv this size it's difficult to reach around to the middle of the back)
+good colour, good blacks, excellent picture
+sleek looks, bezel is a glossy piano black, speakers are well hidden and manual controls are on the side out of eyeshot
+price, 1080i for the price of a 720p, falling between two stools makes for a bargain imo.
+ir window is off to the left side so doesn't get blocked by my centre speaker
Con's
-stand doesn't swivel, not an issue for me as it's (eventually) going on the wall
-it's heavy, probably no more so than any other, but please bear this in mind when deciding on placement.
Delivery
I've read various comments about the shipping agents amazon used to send this - Pilot. Amazon's systems don't link with Pilot's in the same way that UPS does so the amazon updates are almost useless, Pilot itself then sub contracts out the local delivery to a third agent - this all seems a little low tech and inefficient when compared to UPS/Fedex. The upside though is that while this is less than seamless if you do end up calling Pilot you will talk to real people who are extremely friendly and happy to help. The delivery guy they used was superb and didn't have his hand out for a tip either...
The human touch is, again imo, important with regard to the delivery of this product because unlike most of the UPS deliveries you can't just dump this outside the garage door....

 Excellent quality but defective after 2days Dec 02, 2008
I purchased the television one week ago and was excited to experience the quality especially with my new BluRay dvd player. After installation it worked well, sharp colors and exceptional quality even with non HD cable channels. Unfortunately after just two days the system failed. Power would not come on as it developed an electrical fault. I tried having it exchanged but they were out of stock without reorder so it seems like this is an already or soon to be discontinued model. Changed to another brand and now awaiting exchange. If you decide to get one you are certain of excellent qualaity picture as long as it works.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
