Home-Theater TV is getting better! The realism of a TV's image is strongly linked to its contrast ratio, and this plasma features a high dynamic-contrast ratio of up to 10,000:1. Such a wide range from black to white means great depth and dimensionality with vibrant colors?and this plasma can display billions of colors for a superior picture. Deep blacks provide excellent shadow detail during dark scenes, while brilliant whites allow our plasmas to render bright scenes with vivid realism.

Be warned if you need repair service.......2007-12-09
I got this TV three weeks ago and it worked great - for a week. Then it didn't turn on or respond to the remote. I called Panasonic and they said it needed a new "board" which was probably damaged in transit (they also said most repairs are needed in the first week because of shipping damage). The story since then has been a nightmare. I stayed home from work to meet the repair guy, who never showed up or called to say he wasn't coming. Panasonic was unable to control what was happening because they subcontract repairs out. After many phone calls the repair was rescheduled again. You guessed it - same story. No show, no call and no ability to reach the repair guy. So our TV now looks great in the living room but it still doesn't work. The moral of the story is that IF this product is damaged, your ability to get it repaired depends entirely on how reliable the contracted service repair store is. Panasonic's "concierge" hotline for repairs is inept and they do not have any system in place to ensure proper communication and control over service on their products.
Awesome Product.......2007-12-07
I am in the electronics industry and i resale those tvs in other countries, this one is the best tv i have ever, sleek desing great picture no complains, strongly recomended
Awesome TV, Awesome Price.......2007-11-24
I originally ordered the Hitachi 42" HD1080 Plasma through Sears at an amazing price, when I went into the store to check it out (after ordering) I didn't really like the picture, granted the store splits the signal a million times and use only coax hookups so getting a true picture was not in the cards, but compared to the others the Hitachi blacks were not as deep and rich as the others on the wall. Luckily for me the Hitachi did not show up on the promised date so I called another Sears and explained I wanted to go with their Store and change to a TV that was in stock. They offered me the Panasonic for $820 out the door. I could not resist, great price on a greatly reviewed tv.
Once home, I wanted to set it next to my 7yo 53" widscreen RP Hitachi for comparison, all the way home I was thinking how great my RP has been and this new TV better impress me or I'm taking it back. All I can say is WOW. This TV is awesome. So much brighter and cleaner PQ then the old RP. The PQ on the Panasonic more than makes up for the lost 10" of screen size. I have HD through DirecTV and the picture (on HD channels) is amazing. I think I have to sell my RP now and hang the panny on the wall, I originally wanted to put this in the bedroom. So next we loaded up an HD-DVD (Bourne Ultimatum) and compared the 2 screens, again the Panny blew the Hitachi away. We then popped in a standard DVD, Still amazing. The image on this TV is SHARP and CRISP and CLEAR, you can read about all the specs, etc on the other reveiws but just know that you will be impressed. I would really like to set this next to a 1080i screen to see if there really is a difference in pictures (in my specific setup) but given the screen size it probably doesn't matter too much.
So I have 2 questions:
1)Do I have to go with the Panasonic wall mount or can I use a universal wall mount? The manual isn't very specific on this part. I guess because the specifics come with the mounting kits.
2) IR/Burn-IN - on some review I read you are supposed to use the ZOOM feature (so you don't get sidebars or vertical bars - when watching 2:35-1 movies) for the first 100 hours, is this true?
Anyway, overall this TV is fantastic, given the price I don't think there is a better TV out there.. Also, if you are still on the fence over Plasma VS LCD, do some reasearch - Plasma technology has come a long way and the 2 big issues - life span and IR are, if not almost, on par with LCD. Both are around 60,000 hours halflife.
superb picture.......2007-11-04
Superb picture; great detail, clarity, and vividness. OK sound. Almost HD look on standard DVD play. Black frame goes well in a number of decors. Only minor fault is that it generates a lot of heat. Lots of well labeled inputs. Easy to use remote. Great Panasonic concierge service warranty.

When I first thought of buying an HDTV I thought LCD was the only way to go. I had heard of burn-in issues and that plasmas didn't last as long as LCD. After doing some research and comparing them side by side, I decided to go with the plasma.
Burn in: I've had this TV about a month, and have had absolutely NO burn in and/or image retention. The contrast on this TV is set to the max right out of the box, and I image the people complaining of burn in or image retention haven't turned down the contrast.
Lifespan: With new technology, plasmas have a half-life of 60,000 hours, which is more than that of a typical CRT television.
Picture Quality: The picture quality of plasmas is where they stand out over LCD. I recently bought an up-converting DVD player, and movies are absolutely amazing. Even though it's only 720p, I don't think it would be easy to notice a difference between it and 1080p sitting ~10 feet away.
Sound Quality: The sound on this TV is awesome compared to other plasmas I looked at. Very full, deep sounds.
I would highly recommend this TV. For the price, you'd have trouble getting much better. With its sleek look and awesome picture quality, I'd definitely buy it again.

Strong, simple, perfect.......2007-04-02
You want to install your brand new flat screen at the wall and already spent a lot of money on the TV itself so you need something that works and has a good price? GET THIS ONE because it is strong and easy to mount. If I mounted mine and it hasn't fallen in 1 month it means it's good. Of course I am smart: read the instructions and used a stud finder.
