Love this TV

By John from Naperville, IL on 02/2/2010.

Describe Yourself:	Casual User
Cons:	Glare
Pros:	Great Picture Quality, Fast Setup, Good Resolution, Attractive Design
Best Uses:	Movies, Home, Home Theater

Although this TV is only 720p, when you stand 4 feet or further from the TV the image is clear, crisp and the color is great. We use this in our living room which is quite bright during the day. The plasma screen does reflect quite a bit, but most of our viewing is in the evening anyway. We initially had some rolling line interference on cable channels when connected to the box via Component, but switched to a $30 HDMI cable and the problem has vanished. I'd highly recommend this TV to anyone wanting a cost-effective large screen with a great picture, fantastic color and high quality construction.

Incredible value - stunning picture

By zartgo1 from Soldotna, AK on 01/4/2010.

Cons:	Confusing / Bad Remote Controle
Pros:	Great Picture Quality, Fast Setup, Attractive Design, Good Resolution
Best Uses:	Movies, Home, Wall Mounting, Bedroom
Describe Yourself:	Power User

Bought this on sale at [$]. Would love an LED, but this is incredible picture quality and a great looking set. I have had a Sony 1080p 60 inch for 3 years and, while I love that set, this puts it to shame as far as value and quality. Wall mounting makes it spectacular. Can't believe this cost $2,800 just three years ago.

Best bang for your buck

By Kokes from Southborough, MA on 05/14/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Casual User
Best Uses:	Home
Pros:	Simple Controls, Attractive Design, Fast Setup

For my viewing distance of 20 feet, this made sense, I would not have been able to see the difference if I did upgrade to a 1080p set. The setup was fast. The only thing I did was adjust the colors per the CNET recommendations. The set is a little more reflective than a LCD but has not been a major issue. Very satisfied.

Great TV. I love it. the picture is out of this world. set up was a breeze. I was not sure between LCD or Plasma but after some reserch I'm glad I went with Plasma Panisonic has made a great product at a great price. Never thought I could get so much TV for so little money. I have told all my friends to consider Panisonic first when buying a new TV. Color is stunning!!!
