 Had for year and love it Apr 30, 2010
Picture is great. Watch a lot of golf an clarity and color is excellent. Have no regrets would purchase again. Speakers could be a little better but most have sound systems so this in minor. Can think of nothing to say bad or any regrets from purchase.

 Great for videos only ok for pc Jan 19, 2010
I am comparing this tv with a 1920x1080p lcd (60 hz) from lg. I bought this plasma and am very pleased it. The videos/tv broadcast is better than the lcd. There is some pixelation during fast moving HD scenes IE football games but it's better than the lcd. On the lcd it was very difficult to find a sweet spot on picture settings. This panasonic makes picture adjustment very simple and finding a good setting is very easy. The hdtv tuner seems to have some issue with finding one of my local channels even though the subchannel for that station is coming in fine. It acutally finds all the other channels better than either my hdtv tuner card or the lg lcd tv but this one channel is giving me problems. This was not a problem on the lg lcd using the same antenna. If you use cable/sat this shouldn't be an issue for you. I've also tested a PC connected via hdmi and the lg lcd is far superior for that than this model. There seems to be flickering on bright white screens and of course 1920x1080 is far better than 1024x768. This model has no vga connection. Finding a resolution that fits into the 1024x768 16:9 format is very difficult. I couldn't get a full screen to fit in the tv's display using the hdmi > hdmi connection. I tried every resolution imaginable. I imagine a dvi > hdmi cord will end up with the same results.
If you have a western digital media player it looks awesome on this tv using hdmi and the 720p setting. On the lcd tv it looked very disappointing on the 1080 setting. I recorded hdtv using a tv tuner and played back the .tp .ts files and they look awesome. The panasonic can't read the CC signal from those .tp .ts recordings and neither can the western digital. I have since found out that you can rip the CC information from the .tp .ts files and extract them to .srt format which the WD media player can read and display.

No brainer at this price Dec 28, 2009
We bought this TV as a gift to replace an old Sharp 25 inch CRT TV. Wow! Even with "just" 720p resolution the picture is stunning. Are there better TVs out there? No doubt. Are those better TVs worth 2 to 4 times the price of this TV? Not in my book.
The picture is great. The Panasonic menus are pretty intuitive -- we had it out of the box and were watching it in under 10 mins. The sound is pretty good, etc.. The SD card slot is handy for viewing photos (though slow.) The only downside is that, as with many plasma TVs, you have to be careful with placement of the TV to avoid reflections from windows or lamps. Also the bezel around the actual screen is a bit wide.
But at this price point, you cannot go wrong with this TV.

Excellent All Around... Nov 05, 2009
I have had this tv for more than 6 months now and am extremely pleased. The color is very sharp and very well detailed. No problem with refresh rates at all, and you won't be able to tell this is not a 1080 tv.
One issue I do have is the sound. The speaker is fine with broadcast tv or with cable; however, when playing a blu-ray disk or PS3 game the sound needs to be cranked up. I don't know if it is the nature of the tv itself or if the hardware is defective. I should note I returned this tv once after purchasing because the speaker gave off a hissing noise. Replacement model had no such problem...it just seems strange that my only issue has been the speakers (which have caused me problems in the past). Perhaps it is just my own experience and not reflective of this model as a whole...but I thought it worth mentioning.
Regardless...this tv is a great value.

Best price out there Sep 20, 2009
Ordered one and it was shipped and recieved in great shape. Just ordered a 2nd one for my grand daughter and her husband. I surfed the web and no one could come close to the same exact #model and price, with free shipping.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
