Date: 2009-02-07 Great TV My husband did a lot of research before buying this TV, and it payed off. The picture and sound quality are excellent. We thought we wanted an LCD TV, but then saw this online, and decided after weeks of looking at LCD's to get this Panasonic Plasma. The reason it took so long to find a TV is because we wanted to make sure we didn't get one that either looked bad on standard TV channels or was too pixelated when watching sports with fast motion. This Panasonic was the answer. It looks great regardless of what we're watching. Date: 2009-02-05 Great TV! I have to give this TV a great rating. I've only had it for a few weeks but so far so good! Excellent picture quality, image tracking, etc. Date: 2009-02-04 Well Worth The Wait !!! Like many in this forum, I spent months doing research before deciding on this TV. I studied several professional review sites, read scores of user reviews, consulted with two audio/visual pros, and of course made the requisite visits to BB & CC. I won't bore you with the reasons why I chose this particular set, as there are some other good contenders. At this point, with so many reviews have already been written, perhaps it would be more helpful to address this TV's supposed negative points, as identified by other reviewers: AESTHETICS - Others have said this set has a bezel/frame that is too shiny & "plasticy", and that the speakers along the bottom of the set are ugly. I was very concerned about this, and wasn't happy with the pics I saw online. Even in the store, I thought these criticisms might be justified. All I can say is, I'm glad I went ahead and bought this set anyway. Mounted on my dark olive wall (Sherman Williams calls it "manatee"), this TV looks absolutely stunning. And the bezel that showed so many reflections in the store does no such thing in my living room, day or night. GLARE - Absolutely no problem at all, and I have two large windows on the left side of the room with only blinds and a sheer curtain blocking the sun. COLOR ACCURACY (red tint on faces) - I did notice this at first, but a little tweaking took care of it, except for rare re-appearances (a guest on Oprah, for example). Even then, my wife doesn't notice it at all, even when I point it out to her. But then, maybe she's just ignoring me. COLOR ACCURACY (greens look flat) - This was pronounced at first, but again a little tweaking took care of it and now the green rendering is actually a strength, with realistic-looking, lush trees and grass. SOUND ("tinny") - Absolute nonsense. I have a great surround sound system, but I only use it for movies and sports. All other programming sounds great through the built-in speakers. NO PIP - Picture-in-Picture would be a nice feature, but I've gotten pretty good at timing the length of commercials when I switch back and forth between two programs. Besides, if you really don't want to miss anything, you can simply use your DVR (what - you don't have one???) to record one or both programs. ONE TIP BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON THE SIZE OF YOUR SCREEN: Note the dimensions of the set, and simulate them on the spot where you will locate the TV. I stuck four post-it notes on the wall to indicate the location of the four corners of the set. This made me realize that a 50" screen would dominate the wall even though the room was deep enough to sit over 6' away. So I switched to the 46" and saved a few hundred $$$. Date: 2009-02-03 Not bad, but expenisve I bought this a few months ago and don't think it was worth the money. It looks great, but definately expensive. Date: 2009-02-02 Love it Great TV, great monitor for the computer, picture is great from the kitchen; heck looks good from outside looking in from the patio. Remote is easy to use. Delivery was fantastic, Excellent price for this TV. * Price is subject to change. |
