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!

Best Bang for the Buck
Reviewed By: CZ on 4/28/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
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.

Pros: Panasonic makes superb plasma TV's that can stand up with the best in the market for a reasonable price, and they consistently have lowest rate of repair of any TV. The blacks are dead on, there never is any blurring, and the colors are bery true. If you want a TV that will look great day in and day out, you can't go wrong with this one. As real as it gets.
Cons: Not really a con, but though some may like the presets, I much prefer to set up the adjustments manually to fine tune it. This doesn't require any technical expertise and is mostly trial and error until you find the combination that you prefer. After that, I don't go in and readjust it because I may now be watching a ball game, once set up, everything looks good, stays good.
In the store the LCD's always look better, they're set up to be brighter, and the Plasma display models usually aren't set up at all. Don't let the brightness of the LCD fool you into thinking it is better. This is one of those things where the Plasma, once set up in your home will look better than the LCD, but that is hard to believe if you haven't seen one out of the showroom and set up correctly. Don't shy away from this set because you need to do a little set up when you get it. It is nothing more than going into the menus and changing the settings to what you find looks best, nothing close to rocket science
Other Thoughts: Among the HDTV's, Plasma's have been around the longest and that maturity shows up in the bottom line when it is sitting in your living room. Plasma's will be phasing out in the future, not because of any defects or shortcomings, but mostly because LCD & LED TV prices are getting more competitive, they use less power, and are lighter. Regardless, I will always prefer the natural lifelike look of the images on my Plasma over my LCD. The LCD is good, but the image has a certain "cartoon-like" animated look. The Plasma just looks like you were there in person. CA has passed a stringent law that severely limits the power consumption of TV's being sold in that state and that alone will kill Plasma sales in the state. Plasma vs. LCD reminds me of the Beta vs. VHS where VHS won the battle, but Beta was better.

Top flight HDTV

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This set's color reproduction is beyond compare. Excellect black levels and very good scene reproduction with no softness or artifacts. Many have complained about the lack of tuning options, but this is not at all a problem with this set, it just works perfectly. Usage with my HDMI enabled game console is a sight to behold.
Many have complained in these reviews about the speakers not being good; can't say I agree with this at all, in my bedroom the set produces very good, unmuddled bass with clear mid-range. Perhaps in a living room there's an issue, but this isn't a problem in my implementation.
Cons: THX mode is poorly done, as it leads to a very yellow image that can't be fixed with Tint manipulations. The use of a non-backlit remote control is a poor choice.
Other Thoughts: This TV is EXCELLENT. Don't hesitate on this purchase.

Pros: Superb picture, THX certified, I thought I got a great deal on a Phillips LCD 120hz until I started researching this tv. I sold the Phillips and switched to the Panasonic. Best decision I have ever made! This tv's picture is flawless especially with the proper calibration. PS3 playing bluray's is the best picture I have ever seen on a home television. BUY THIS TV!
Cons: PC input does not display full 1080p but if you use dvi to hdmi cable you will be able to.
Other Thoughts: Check out avforums for some of the users calibration settings and play around with it. You will definitely notice a difference in a properly calibrated screen.
