Strengths: Picture, ease of set up and use, style.
Weaknesses:Upconverting of SD signals could be better.
Overall Evaluation: I hooked up my equipment and was watching this TV in minutes. Very simple to set up. The HD picture quality is excellent. Very dark black level. Plenty of connections for all your equipment. For the price this TV can't be beat.

Strengths: Outstanding PQ, 3 HDMI inputs, Computer hook-up, 22lbs lighter and almost 2 inches thinner than the outgoing model
Weaknesses:None as of yet....
Overall Evaluation: One of the highest quality HD Plasmas! It has a phenominal picture at an extraordinary price! The contrast ratio at 30,000:1 Native and 1,000,000:1 Dynamic, is one of the best I've ever seen. From the deepest richest Blacks to the brightest and most vibrant of neons and sharp pastels, I couldn't believe how warm and realistic the PQ was. I owned a LCD before this (Samsung 52"), and this by far blows it out of the water. Thanks and Enjoy.

Strengths: outstanding picture quality.
Weaknesses:power consuption. At twice the power consuption of an LCD it makes you stop and think for a moment.
Overall Evaluation: I like a lot of people was not sure wither to buy an LCD or plasma. I chose the plasma becouse at the end of all arguments plasma still has the best picture and thats what I was in the market for, HD. This plasma delivers Unbelievable picture quality. Panisonic has done themselfs proud on the plasma TV. I couldn't be happer.

Strengths: This T.v has Three HDMI inputs,loads of additional s-video, coaxal, and other necessary inputs; not to mention one of the Best HD pictures on the market!!
Weaknesses:The only weaknesses,if you could even call it that, would be its weight.Weighing in at almost 90 lbs. it definately takes two people to place the T.v appropriately.Not a weakness,though,my "opinion"
Overall Evaluation: A true definition of the highest quality HD Plasma is found with this T.V This is the difference we've all been waiting for, a phenominal picture at an extraordinary price! This is why people buy plasma's and every meaning of the word,,,this T.V is liquid, giving one of the highest contrast ratios: 30,000:1, only available on the market if your spending six grand plus. It gives a whole new meaning to the word "Black" too. From the deepest richest Blacks to the brightest and most vibrant of neons and sharp pastels this t.v is the next generation of cutting edge technology. The kaliediscope of color arrangements mixed with razor sharp clarity actually "puts" you on location, on a scale like no other. All around I have owned many HD t.V. from various companies including plasma's and LCD, and this by far is the one to watch out for. I can't wait till the techs at consumer reports get there hands on this one...this will easily touch the limits of the scale on perfection. Thanks and Enjoy
