Excellent gaming TV Feb 28, 2009
I bought this as a second TV to be used only for gaming. Previously tried several LCD TVs and, IMHO, LCDs the way they are now are simply unacceptable for gaming - too much motion blur.
So far tried it with my PS3 and Xbox 360 - Street Fighter 4 is a joy to play on this TV. Also, I have my PS2 hooked up to it as well and the TV does an excellent job at processing and displaying the (crappy) 480i output of the PS2. I tried several LCD TVs with my PS2 and the results were uniformly awful with huge ugly interlacing artifacts. This TV has them a little, but you really have to look very close to see them and picky as I am, I do not notice them when playing a game.
Overall if you are looking for a gaming TV/monitor, this is the set to get...well, any Panasonic plasma, really.

 Solid Buy, Great Picture Feb 16, 2009
My TV arrived last week and I bought it from Amazon. First, buying from Amazon is the way to go if you can't find the same price at your local Best Buy or electronics store. Shipping is guaranteed, and it came just 3 business days after I purchased from the distributor. I also got my HD service connected the day it came, so I got to try out the HD immediately.
I had been looking at TV's for over a month, daily, spending hours a week researching LCD v Plasma, different brand names, product lines, and prices. First, figure out LCD v Plasma. Lighting, primary uses, and preference ultimatley determine what you want. Plasma was an easy choice for me as Sports & movies (with my blue ray player) are the primary purposes of my TV and my room is in the basement with no outside sunlight coming in, so glare isn't an issue with my plasma.
This TV is solid. I bought $10, HDMI (1.3 category 2) cables and they produce an excellent picture. Standard protocol for plasmas is to "break them in" to prevent burn-in, which I am doing. They recommend keeping the picture settings on "standard" regular mode for the first 80-100 hours. I have tried turning it up to complete brightness and it looks amazing, but I will continue to break it in on the standard settings for 2-3 weeks. Don't worry about "burn-in" as many store experts I talked said this is a non-issue with plasmas nowadays and Panasonic says these tv's are good for 80-100k hours of viewing which is like 30 years running all the time.
I watched Iron-Man, on my blue ray PS3 player with HDMI Cables, and the picture was indeed stunning. So worth it. I bought this TV for $900 including shipping and if you get it for that or cheaper it is a steal. The TV has a great sleak design, super easy to assemble the stand base, and is nice and light (like 70 lbs).
I don't think you'll go wrong with LCD at all from what I saw of them, but for the movie buff who loves to dim the lights and watch a stunning picture, or the NFL fan who loves a great picture in HD of a good game, this is the TV you want. For the price, you won't find a better quality branded TV than this one. The HD picture I get from my satellite provider is great, and once I can turn up the picture to maximum capabilities I think the TV will be unreal. I've heard cables can have a huge difference, but from what I've read and tested personally, the HDMI cable 1.3 category 2 is just fine and processes the 1080p signal for blue ray and HDTV perfectly. If you buy this TV you will be happy, mark my words.

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.
