This new Plasma TV by Panasonic is spectacular. The picture is unbelievable. The sound system makes you think your in a movie house, yet you can't see where they put the speakers. It has ALL the tuners to pick up anything that is currently available from VHF/UHF,CATV, HD-whether over cable or air, interlace or progressive, without a seperate box. Of course that's as long as they are free from your provider. They haven't missed anything. The viewing angle is literally from side to side. There are many ways to adjust sound and video. It takes a while to master all the features. You will need to read the entire manual first and then do some trial and era to fine tune everything. Has plenty of inputs. I even have my laptop hooked up and view live video programing on the screen.
The one thing you have to decide on is how to mount this 185# giant.
Panasonic does NOT supply a center mount with the set. If you want their mount to set on a stand they want an unbelievable $1000-that's one thousand-for this piece of steel. If you don't want to hang it on the wall it will sit on a minimum 60" wide strand. You will have to fabricate four supports for the back side to stabilize the set. That's how I set mine up. My distance from the screen is only about 18 feet and the view is great. So it will fit in a normal living room.
Since this is one giant computer I will buy the extended warranty from Panasonic. I really don't expect trouble with this set but I also have fire insurance on my house.
You won't be disappointed when you turn it on. arl Pa.
(5 out of 5)Great Plasma
I have had this TV for three weeks now and it is amazing. It has an excellent refresh rate and the picture is great. One warning, you really do notice the difference between regular tv and HD tv. It is also easy to tell the difference between differing HD recordings (some are better than others) and something that has been upcoded. When it is in HD it is amazing. It works well with a Playstation 3 both on movies and games. The PS3 is probably not the best player for movies, though. The SD card slot is a plus and the pictures look great on the big screen. It also can be used as a computer monitor and does a good job as such. In short, a great product. I will update this if any negatives worth noting develop. Only two complaints - one is the price. It is still pretty pricey but that is related to its size. Second - weight. It is a bear. It took three people to mount it on the wall so keep that in mind if you are looking to move it around.

I've been struggling with what TV to buy for our home theater system. I narrowed it down to this TV, the Pioneer 60" KURO, or the Samsung 57" LN-T5781F. We really liked the Samsung, the 500,000:1 contrast ratio really makes that TV pop; however it was a bit more than I wanted to spend. We finally settled on this TV from Best Buy after Best Buy price matched Amazon and threw in some extras. The TV is a pain to get home if you're not using Best Buy home delivery. It wouldn't fit in our Tahoe so we had to get a trailer to drive it home. Once we got home, I had to get help to move it since its a bit heavy (it weighs 180 pounds and the box is awkward to carry). I paired this TV with a Denon AVR-2308CI receiver and watched a couple movies to test it out. The TV looks absolutely fantastic in our home theater area.
(5 out of 5)Panasonic 65" Plasma Exceeds Expectations
This TV has met or exceeded all expectations for a beautiful picture. I run the sound through my home theater system, so cannot comment on that. Vann's beat their delivery commitment by several days right before X-mas, so that was good. The TV is very heavy, so be careful to mount it where you want it the first time.
(5 out of 5)Stunning!
I compared zillion different TV sets before I ran into this monster plasma. It has clearest and best defined image. Colors are crisp and vibrant, the entire image is 3-dimensional! There is lot of talk about what is superior, but just walk to a decent store and watch this thing and it will speak for itself. The Blu-Ray movie looks like a dream on this set. I watched some animation movies and the whole experience is blowing mind!
