Great TV for the price. I spent a lot of time looking at both 720 1080 TV's and could not easily tell the difference. This TV is in the family room with HD/cable, blueray player, WII, and XBox. Perfect for everyday use. Nice looking on the wall.

HERE'S EXACTLY WHAT I THINK

Reviewed by Happy Mom (Casual User) from Coral Springs, FL on Feb 20, 2010

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

My old television died after just 5 years - I actually called a TV repairman in. (He told me that they're lonier than Maytag repairmen these days) It cost me less than $100.00 more to buythis plasma new than to repair my old tv. I was told that LCD have better pictures and that there is a problem with Plasma with glare, but we use the television in a room full of windows - even glass block windows that have no shades across from the television and I've had no problems. A very un-handy single female, my girlfriend and myself were able to quickly and easily set up the television as well as install it. We're thrilled with the sound, the picture and above all the GREAT VALUE that this television provides.

Pros:	Attractive Design, Great Sound Quality, Great Picture Quality, Fast Setup, Reduced Glare, Good Resolution, Good Remote Control
Best Uses:	Movies, Wall Mounting, Home, Video Games, Home Theater

Love this TV

Reviewed by John (Casual User) from Naperville, IL on Feb 02, 2010

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.

Cons:	Glare
Pros:	Great Picture Quality, Good Resolution, Fast Setup, Attractive Design

Incredible value - stunning picture

Reviewed by zartgo1 (Power User) from Soldotna, AK on Jan 04, 2010

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.

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

Best bang for your buck

Reviewed by Kokes (Casual User) from Southborough, MA on May 14, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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!!!
