I wasn't able to acquire one but can attest, with research I learned that the Viera is one of the best choices, if not the best, for the combined SD/HD compatibility of composite out, HDMI and (some models) SCART in, a large screen that complements any input, and a solid build quality that's withstood time so far. The backlight might be a failure point, but despite its age isn't impossible to repair.
