Best Bang for the Buck
- Pros: This TV is by far the best bang for the buck. Compared to LCD's, the picture is just as good if not better than models costing upwards of $1,000 more.
If you've done the research, you probably already know that this TV has great features. Once broke in and the TV settings are tweaked, nothing comes close to looking as LIFE LIKE as this set; Sure, other TV's may display objects in a brighter fashion, but this TV makes them look like they do in real life. Power consumption is down on this year's model, and so is the weight.
But, if you don't want to go off one simple review, do the research - this TV gives the higher $$ pioneer's a run for their money.
- Cons: 1) Remote can only be used with the TV.....it can't be programmed to run other devices like previous generation Panasonic remotes.
2) Silver accent stripe along the bottom of the set doesn't look as good as solid black would IMO
- Other Thoughts: Again, this TV rocks.....if you're spending 1,000 on a TV you should be researching the product anyhow....do some and I guarantee you'll find this is the best set for your $.
Also, anyone worried about shipping shouldn't; the freight carriers newegg uses are nothing but the best.
My first plasma
- Pros: Astounding color quality with DVD's and HD over QAM/ATSC. Cinema mode looked EXACTLY like the color quality I remember when seeing movies the first time in theaters. Makes for awesome gaming with my 360. No input lag (perceived and measured with Guitar Hero test). Plasmas do not suffer from viewing angle limitations, which really bothered me even with good LCD's (comparing Panasonic's own 37" LCD w/ an A-IPS panel and Samsungs).
- Cons: Sometimes too dark by default for certain games, easily tweaked though - very good dark levels can mean too many shadows. Color accuracy is supposedly not perfect according to AV forum enthusiasts, but out of the box it looked great to me.
- Other Thoughts: Purchased from local b&m store with an overpriced warranty. Should have waited 2 days and bought it from the Egg instead!

Panasonic black level PROBLEMS!
- Pros: Fantastic picture and all that.
- Cons: PANASONICS HAVE BLACK LEVEL PROBLEMS!
Google "panasonic black levels" and you'll find some information related to Panasonic plasma black levels rising DRAMATICALLY after a preset amount of hours. Panasonic has flip-flopped on the issue, initially stating it was due to an overly aggressive voltage regulation problem. They recanted and now state it's "normal".
Your blacks will go from dark, dark black to a greyish color. Be warned before purchasing plasmas from them!
Connectivity thoughts
- Pros: Picture quality, blacks, clarity, ability to connect with computer for home theater. PC hdmi to panel hdmi at 1920x1080. Tuner for external antenna of exceptional quality with signal strength meter. I've had this panel for about 7 months now and did buy from newegg, their delivery arrangement was on time and with careful handling of the panel. Would highly recomend this panel and the purchase from newegg.
- Cons: none worth mentioning
- Other Thoughts: I've connected a computer dedicated to home theater to this panel. Via HDMI. Using a high end video card this panel gives an amazing picture at full 1080p from the computer, this arrangement also gives me the availability to enjoy video streaming from the web from places like netfxxx. I did purchase a good dvd/blue-ray player software for this, they usually are under $100. The other reason was to share my experience with a newly installed external antenna and this panel. It provided me with a signal strength meter that was very helpful in pointing the antenna. The quality of picture using the external antenna is exceptional.
Great TV, When It Works!!!
- Pros: I have the TH-42PZ700U which is similar to this model. I've owned mine for 3 years and 2 months now and love this TV. The 42" screen size @ 1080p is unreal and clearly has the best picture of anything out there on the market that I've seen to date!
- Cons: Price is to high for a TV that will only last 2 -3 years max. Now, call me old fashion, but all my previous CRT TVs lasted 10 years+ without any problems and didn't cost half as much.
I paid $1500 and just barely got 3 years out of it before breaking due to cheap Chinese electronic components used in it. It also cost almost the same price as a new TV to have it fixed! This problem isn't isolated to Panasonic either, I have a dead Samsung & Sony too and they also use third rate capacitors, transistors, diodes, etc. I doesn't matter whether there LCD or Plasma they are all Chinese junk!
I think Pioneer uses USA made electronic components but the price also reflects it in a major way. Who can afford a Pioneer just so you can get a TV that doesn't fail in a couple of years .... definitely not me!
- Other Thoughts: My advice is this....
Buy the cheapest off-brand LCD or plasma you can find because all of them are a ticking time bomb waiting to fail! This way, when it quits working, you won't be out that much in the way of cash!
If you don't believe me .... why do you think all these TV manufacturers only offer a 1 or 2 year warranty? If they were a quality product as they claim, wouldn't they tend to stand behind their work for more than 1-2 years?
