 HDTV August 10, 2008
Excellent product. Good price. No sales tax and free shipping and set up.
Set up was perfect and delivery men very competent and polite. The TV is performing up to my expections and better. I am very satisfied with Panasonic and with the plasma TV. This is the best TV for the money and quality.

Stunning Picture August 9, 2008
Absolutely Stunning picture quality. Best Plasma on the market for the money! Great job Panasonic, I can see why Pioneer buys there displays from you and slaps their own name on them
Nice! August 9, 2008

The "White Glove Service" did not impress me and really wasn't "wowed" by the overall delivery process, however, the unit is awesome.
 Poor picture with fast moving scenes July 31, 2008
0 out of 7 found this review helpful
First, the picture quality is great with hd movies. The biggest problem is poor picture quality when rendering fast moving scenes like camera panning the base ball stadium, or camera following a skier, etc. The moving background is so "pixelly" it actually gives you a headache. Second, the basic colors red and green are not very realistic. In short, a great plasma panel but the basic colors could be better but the deal-breaker is the poor/very-ineffective video accelerator or Video Noise Reduction. I returned mine for a pioneer plunking another grand+. Cheers
 For PC/HTPC through HDMI do NOT use rear HDMI, use the SIDE HDMI, otherwise 10 red lights July 30, 2008

Very nice picture, nice size, just what I was looking for on a plasma. I had just gotten the screen several hours ago and was playing around with my PC, dvd etc. I had hooked up my computer and calibrated my remote, the tv turned off, but didn't turn on again. I was getting 10 red blinking lights, I was buggin' so I searched the net and thanks to svkowalski (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=13649180#post13649180) he/she discovered this.
Low and behold, once I plugged the side HDMI, the tv turned on as if nothing happened. Boy was I relieved. Another post confirms that this is actually a manufacturer "glitch" http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=14047992#post14047992 and not on random screens. I had been reading posts of others having a technician come by several times and the anomaly would not go away, I'm so glad it was something as simple as changing the HDMI.
This seems to only affect PCs/HTPC with a DVI->HDMI adapter and it's regardless of what vendor card you have (nvidia/ati), I have a Geforce 8800gt.
Otherwise I liked the Amazon price, and free shipping. I saw the screen in B&M stores going for at least 200 more plus tax. Delivery was good and the people helped me put the screen on my wall mount which was nice.
