Date: 2008-07-31 panasonic Plasma 46inch Virea 85u Delivery and set up was excellent. Great picture, particularly in HD. Very pleased with my purchase. Date: 2008-07-30 Awesome TV! Just recently purchased this tv (unfortunately, not on Amazon) and I completely love it! Made all the connections and tested all the inputs and it looks fantastic. The black levels are completely outstanding! I did a lot of research before buying this TV and I do not regret it. I was in a bind between LCD and Plasma and after comparing picture quality and reading many reviews and opinions, I believe the Plasma is the better choice. I have seen the differences and LCD just doesn't compare, especially when it comes to name brands like Panasonic. The picture quality of the set looks amazing! Even an upscaled dvd at 1080p looks closely, but of course nto quite, like blu-ray. I tested the Transformers 2007 Movie upscaled and the detail looked really nice! Blu-ray movies look sweet as well! For the test, I played Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and I was impressed. Sound quality is also very good. I am using this tv for my bedroom (which is pretty large) so I don't have a home theater setup but even then, the TV set still sounds sweet. Unfortunately, you cant tweak with the picture settings as much as other sets, but the tv already looks good with tweaking (but I tweaked it anyway). I would recommend this TV for anyone who is in the market for tvs at this size. However, 1080p shouldn't be a deciding factor if you are looking for something smaller than 46 inches. I would also recommend going Plasma over LCD when it comes to TVs this size and larger. LCD just doesn't cut it. Overall, this TV is simply AWESOME! You will not be disappointed! Pros: -Black levels are outstanding! -Picture quality is top-knotch!; game, DVD, blu-ray, etc... -Nice sound! -Multitude of inputs! -Screen barely shows any reflection -Handy remote control Cons: -Weight (which is expected from a plasma) -PC input doesn't support 1080p resolution (downconverts to 720p res) *have to connect thru dvi->hdmi to get 1080p res. -Side buttons w/ SD card input in an inconvenient location Date: 2008-07-22 Great Product I am glad that I purchase this Plasma TV, Very Nice product, good quality Very cinematic images, with terrific black levels and Screen is less reflective than most.... one bad things is Noise reduction is not as effective as it could be.. and Fewer picture controls than many other HDTVs Rest all wonderful...my family is enjoying now.. Raj Makwana Date: 2008-07-20 Great size at 46 inches; shipping no problem I ordered this Panasonic Viera Plasma HDTV late on Sunday, and it was delivered on the next Friday: 5 days for shipping. I read reviews about the shipping service, so I called the shipper to keep updated on the package location. The final, local shipping driver (Minnesota) was helpful to set this on its bracket and check to see if the TV worked -- I asked him to help. I compared 42, 46, and 50 inch Vieras at the nearest store, 60 miles from me, and when I saw a 46 inch next to a 50 inch, I knew this was the size for me. Works beautifully, evident on the digital channels we do get, and with a DVD playing. The bracket/stand is easy to mount: have a large, secure, padded surface to lay the TV on; you need a Phillips screwdriver, and two (three is better) people to turn/hold/attach bracket the HDTV. Date: 2008-07-20 Awesome TV and great deal on Amazon After weeks of research online and in stores, we finally purchased this TV. I was a little apprehensive about buying it online, but all the other reviews about Amazon's delivery were right on. I would have had it less than 7 days after purchase, but the delivery people were actually too fast as I was trying to time their delivery with the TV technician's appointment to upgrade to HD. We researched plasma vs LCD and finally picked plasma. The "drawbacks" of plasma (screen glare, not bright enough, burn in" arent a factor. We have our TV in a room with a large bay window; we dont notice any more glare than with our old tube TV and it is quite bright enough. Also, the Panasonic has multiple features to prevent and eliminate "burn in". I really wanted plasma for the fast motion and dark blacks, movies, etc. So far I have been more than satisfied. We watched some LCDs in the store and some of the shows just looked "fake" because the picture was so bright (though that could have been the store's settings). If this TV is even on your short list, dont feel bad about getting it. The price on Amazon was the cheapest we saw. It has some great features and is a great size (dont even bother with 42" - you will be sorry.) We could have gone up to 50" but the trade off for size vs price was right for this TV. I was a little apprehensive after reading the reviews on Cnet regarding the colors and some of the controls, but I havent even adjusted anything yet and the colors look fine to me right out of the box. I will probably work on tweaking it later, but am very happy with it right now. To the normal, average viewer it looks great. I highly recommend this TV and am very pleased after weeks of research!!
