Features:

In Plane Switching (IPS) Plus: Assures Enhanced Viewing, Even at an Angle
The wide viewing angle provided by the In Plane Switching (IPS) LCD panel lets viewers enjoy an extraordinary picture from the left, right, above or below. This level of performance is further enhanced by IPS Plus technology in select models. Colors are clear and vivid even when the screen is viewed from a wide angle. With Panasonic, it?s easy for everyone in the room to enjoy the show.

Active Light Control System and Active Contrast/Gamma Control System
The Panasonic LCD AI incorporates two new technologies: the Active Light Control System and Active Contrast/Gamma Control System that adjust backlight brightness and contrast so that each scene has fantastic contrast and detail. Flowers look vivid and natural, while landscapes are remarkably bright and true to life.

3D Color Management: Vivid Mode
The 3D color management system helps to achieve precise control based on the color differences and brightness levels that are present in a picture. This remarkable technology independently detects color, brightness and luminosity levels in order to produce amazing quality in each. This fine degree of control helps to produce truly expressive images with colors that are beautifully reproduced with exceptional vibrancy.

A Single Cable Carries High-Quality Digital Audio and Video
If you have even a moderately complicated home theater setup, you probably have a pile of tangled cables on the floor behind it. Imagine replacing all those cables with a single cable that carries both digital video and audio at the same time. With the new HDMI standard, that's exactly what you get. The HDMI connectors on this TV accept high-quality digital video and audio via one thin cable, allowing you to run one cable from the source to the TV.

A Cinema-Style Viewing Experience At Home
This widescreen TV features a width-to-height ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing a theater-like experience at home. View HDTV broadcasts and widescreen DVDs the way they were meant to be seen.

Crisp, Lifelike Details
HDTV broadcasts and DVDs offer more detail and better color than analog broadcasts, and it takes a high-resolution display to deliver all that picture information. The high pixel count of this LCD TV provides fine detail for outstanding HDTV reproduction. More pixels also translate into less stair-stepping artifacts; curved and diagonal edges look smooth and natural.

High-Quality Fast Motion Imagery
Fast pixel response time is essential to accurate image reproduction on LCD displays. If the response time is too long, fast motion seen during sports broadcasts and action movies can cause blurring. This LCD TV features an impressive 8ms response speed, helping to ensure excellent detail and smooth motion during high-speed scene transitions.

Great Image Quality at Wide Angles
Some LCD displays require the viewer to sit within a very small sweet spot for good image quality. Move too far to the left or right and image quality drops off sharply. This LCD TV features an extremely wide viewing angle of 178°, so whether you're right in front of the TV or sitting off to the side, you'll still get great image quality.

V-Chip Program Lockout
The V-Chip allows users to block programming that may be inappropriate for certain viewers. Using program ratings embedded in TV broadcasts, the V-Chip lets parents decide the programming to which their children have access. Blocked program material is accessible only by entering a 4-digit code that parents create. For more detailed information on V-Chip, click here

Progressive Scanning for Smooth, Rock Solid Images
Traditional analog TVs display video in an interlaced format that splits each film frame into two separate fields, resulting in visible scan lines and other image artifacts. A progressive scan display shows each film frame as one solid frame, helping to create a stable, solid image free of interlaced artifacts.

Aspect Ratio
The term "aspect ratio" describes the relationship between the width and height of a TV or display screen. Traditional displays have an aspect ratio of 4:3, meaning that for every 4 inches of width, there are 3 inches of height. This results in a screen that looks almost like a square. Many newer displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, so their screens are almost twice as wide as they are tall. Also referred to as "widescreen," 16:9 displays are better suited to widescreen DVDs and HDTV broadcasts. The term "aspect ratio" can also be used to describe the dimensions in which a film or TV program are shot. Traditional broadcasts are usually in 4:3 format, while HDTV broadcasts have an aspect ratio of 16:9.

HDMI-HDCP
HDMI is a new standard digital connection between A/V devices, such as a set-top box, DVD player or A/V receiver, and a digital television. HDMI offers exceptional video and audio quality with a single quick-disconnect connector. It supports multi-channel digital audio transmissions and component video color spacing for true rendering of HD video. HDMI supports the HDCP copy protection standard, allowing transmission of copy-protected digital content to your display. The video portion of HDMI is also backwards-compatible with DVI-HDCP devices using a special cable adapter.

Component Video Inputs
Delivers outstanding resolution and color accuracy of video images from a variety of sources, including DVD players, by keeping the Y, PR, PB of video images intact during the transmission process.

I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone without reservations. I have removed the stand and mounted it on the wall with a swiveling bracket. This looks and works very well. The image and the controls are great. I wish the speakers were better. I like the variety of inputs.

From a First Time Digital TV Owner

By Funzy from Central Pennsylvania on 12/28/2007.

Pros:	Bright Image, Good Resolution, Great from side view angl, Sound quality very good, Fast Setup, Simple Controls, Very Good Picture, Reduced Glare, Attractive Design, Good Connection Options
Best Uses:	Home, Video
How long have you owned it:	One-to-three months
Describe Yourself:	Practical

My first digital television. Very good picture from side angle viewing. HD programs are crisp; just like being there. Even regular DVDs look better than on the old analog set. Based on my shopping and as someone with a music background, sound quality is very good compared to others in same size class. It fit inside our previous entertainment unit with only a half inch to spare on each side. As such, it was very important that this model had the manual controls ON THE TOP instead of along the side. However, top mounted buttons, if used, might be a problem for wall mounted units.

Describe Yourself:	Tech Savvy, Gearhead

This TV has better pic. than the Sony 32" for the same price. It also places the digital, analog and radio channels together. You do not have to change from digital channel lineup to analog lineup every time (Some sony models made you flip between different types of reception.) Its tuner even receives some of the PPV channels. (I am not sure how) It sometimes picks up someone else's PPV order. The only thing I did not like is the input naming option. It only lets you choose an input name from a given list of names. I like to make up my own names for each input. All in all a great TV. You will not be sorry.
