 Horrible experience Apr 10, 2010
Bought this tv in fall of 08 and the P board had to be replaced in Jan 10. It is out of warranty so total cost was $412 to repair. Now there is a 3 inch black vertical line from top to bottom on the left hand side of the screen. Took it back in and the panel now needs to be replaced. Repair man said Panasonic will pay for new panel but not the labor which is $225. I am currently trying to get them to pay for it all since this is the second time in less than 2 years that it needs to be repaired. This is not only the first Panasonic product I have ever bought, it is the first plasma tv I have ever bought. Needless to say, it will definitely be the last!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Buyer beware!!! Apr 03, 2010
I Purchased this TV on 22 Jan 09 for $1600. the quality of the picture is great. the set is also very easy on the eye. great sound and very easy to set up the set. On 1 April 2010 my set did not power up for some unknown reason. the red power on light blinked 10 times, paused and then repeated the cycle continuously and it won't stop doing this. I've tried to unplug it and then plug it back it, unhooked all cables from it then powering it back up an still the same thing. I contacted Panasonic about the problem and because it's out of warranty they said their was nothing they could do. by the way the warranty only last 12mos. when i informed them that online literally hundreds of people have the same problem(blinking red light of death Google it) they brushed me off by telling me their TV's has the lowest failure rate in the industry of only 3%. That statistic had absolutely nothing to do with my $1600 problem so they could have kept that statement to themselves. needless to say i will never purchase another Panasonic TV again until they publicly acknowledge this problem and correct it. DO NOT BUY THIS SET. Most fail a few months after the warranty has expired. Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ80U 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV
 Bad luck, perhaps? Feb 10, 2010
I decided to purchase this set after having read all the positive reviews on it. However, I did not take into consideration that most reviews are written just a short time after a purchase. This was a big mistake on my part. I purchased my tv in November, 2008. Yes, the picture is amazing. However, only 14 months later, and conveniently, 2 months out of warranty, the power panel failed. The cost to replace it is $1900. Needless to say, after only 14 months, the tv is now garbage. There is absolutely no point in paying $1900 to repair something that cost $1100. After having done some thorough research, I learned that certain Panasonics made during a certain time had some bad parts in them. Had I known this before hand, I never would have bought this tv. My only suggestion is to really do your homework before making any purchase, especially buying a new tv.
 Ashamed to say it's the best thing I've ever purchased. Sep 11, 2009
I bought this TV last spring and paid $1600, something I'd said I'd never do. Brought it home and set it up and was a little stunned to find out that I needed to upgrade my DirectTV receiver to HD. After all was said and done, it truly is the best thing I've ever purchased. I talked to 2 different salesmen from 2 different major dept. store chains when I was looking. I was set on the LCD from what I had heard. After the "spiel", I asked both salesmen what they owned and they both said "plasma". They explained some stuff about the rate of speed that is captured with the plasma and that they both notice the LCD streaking at times of high action in sporting events. They also did warn me about reflection issues with the plasma and they were right. I have a window at the back of the room on the south side of the house and when the sun shines in, I have to shut the curtains. If I look close (really, really close), I can see the lights in the room reflect off the glass like screen, but the outstanding picture and contrast make it a non-issue for me. I used to occasionally check in to catch the scores of the MN Twins games with my 34 inch Toshiba, now I look forward to coming home and watching the entire games. I'm still paying off the credit card, but haven't sent in a payment yet that hasn't brought satisfaction to mind. I'm salivating waiting for Football season! It's really a great TV....
Awesome TV Jun 20, 2009
This tv was at least $500 more at the traditional stores (Best Buy, Ultimate Electronics...). We bought it with free shipping and it was delivered by two people with in just a few days of us ordering. It is a great TV!! Beautiful picture!!

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.
