  Overall Rating: 1 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:1 Months

  Strengths: Excellent picture.

  Weaknesses: From the first day the power will not stay on ...

  Overall Evaluation: Very disappointing. The first day it arrived the power would not stay on more than 20 minutes. I called Panasonic thinking they would ship be a new unit ... but they told me they would dispatch a technician the following week ... I'm left to wonder how long this will take to resolve and what else might be wrong with this unit. And why does Panasonic think its ok to just repair a unit on its first day of ownership. It should be replaced. All in all a very bad start for such a highly touted TV.

  Duration of ownership:10 Months

  Strengths: EXCELLENT PICTURE

  Weaknesses: VIBARTION FROM THE METAL BACK CASE AND VERTICAL PICTURE ADJUSTMENT IS OFF BY TWO INCHES AND ONE HALF FROM THE TOP. TECH REQUIRED TO FIX IT.

  Overall Evaluation: PICTURE IS EXCELLENT. HOWEVER, THE PICTURE MUST BE ADJUSTED. THE VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT IS OFF MAKING THE PIC SHORT BY TWO AND ONE HALF INCHES AT THE TOP. AND, THE VIBRATION DUE TO THE SOUND REVERBERATING AROUND THE METAL BACKING. EVEN WHEN REDUCING THE BASE ADJUSTMENT. OVERALL SOUND IS LACKING FOR THE PRICE ONE PAYS FOR THIS UNIT.

  Duration of ownership:5 Days

  Strengths: Fantastic picture and color. Blacks are very dark; almost intensely dark. Colors ranges from VIVID on down. Mounted in a very bright living room with two walls of windows and mirrors - and still the picture is exceptionally good. Lots of connectivity options available.

  Weaknesses: No CableCard slot. The shiny black perimeter easily shows fingerprints - why these screens can't be surrounded in a flat, matte texture is beyond me. You do get some reflection based on having lots of windows in the viewing area.

  Overall Evaluation: Great deal from ABT in the Chicago-land area. Received on Thursday and spent the the weekend wiring and mounting the wall bracket to hold this 106# beauty. Easy to configure and setup. So simple to operate even my wife can use it without complaining. This is in opposition to my basement, projector-based home theater which she can't seem to master. Have yet to connect to a true HiDef source, so stay tuned...

  Duration of ownership:4 Days

  Strengths: Picture, sound, ease of setup, clarity

  Weaknesses: Only 2 HDMI slots. No DVI for high-resolution computer hookup.

  Overall Evaluation: Very satisfied!Was in absolutely no rush to spend the money, so passively looked at tv's if we were at the mall or near BB, etc, over a year or so.Items I looked for when reviewing tv's - dark scenes, fast moving sports, water (waves, splashing, etc), animals running. Wanted to make sure the black-levels that everyone talks about and the smoothness of motion were ok. Family is very impressed with the tv.The newer models will have additional HDMI slots and DVI hookups I'm sure, but it was not a requirement for me at this time. Nice to have in the future...Happy shopping.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Picture, Sound & Excellent for PS3.

  Weaknesses: No cable card slot. No PIP.

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this TV 4 months ago and really have no major complaints. Blu-Ray looks amazing on it. PS3 games also look great. The sound on this TV is a great supplement to your home theater system, or sometimes I just use it alone. The blacks on this TV are excellent, sporting events in HD look great. The only minor complaint is that it does not have PIP or a card slot. But, I knew this before I bought it and would buy it again. Excellent TV for the money.

  Duration of ownership:3 Weeks

  Strengths: It's a good value on paper...

  Weaknesses: ...unless yours has a problem.

  Overall Evaluation: This TV looks good on paper, but watch out if you have a problem! Mine worked great, for the first few hours, before it developed severe problems- two large blocks (2inx8in) on opposite sides of the TV burned out. That's obviously a problem, but things do go wrong sometimes... I called Panasonic service to set up the repair, and that's when things went downhill. We waited around all day for the scheduled in-home repair, but the tech didn't show up until late in the evening. He came to move the 123 lbs. set alone, then threw it in the back of his pickup. Two weeks after this, the latest information is that they're waiting for authorization from Panasonic to replace the entire screen, and after that happens it will take at least a week for shipping before repairs can begin.Working with Panasonic's customer support has been a painful experience. After four calls and two failed promises to call me back, they want me to go through a week long process to even get the case escalated to management. For a $2,200 TV, this is totally unacceptable. Panasonic's TVs may look like a good deal on paper, but my experience has shown buying one is taking a big risk on a company that doesn't stand by it's products. If I were you, I would seriously consider a different option.

  Overall Evaluation: This set has an amazing picture. It will look best when picture mode is customized, not at VIVID as it comes out of box.The sound is better than I thought.

  Duration of ownership:2 Months

  Strengths: 1080P!!!!! Beautifally clear pitcure, SD still looks good, Briliant colors... Build Quality

  Weaknesses: Heavy, one more HDMI and a DVI would be nice

  Overall Evaluation: A little glare in certain instances, not a true weakness though. Sometimes when switching channels and between the guide (comcast) the TV will switch to green screen, then have to power off to get picture back, probably the box though... I did a lot of research and found that this TV fit me the best and have never been happier!!!! I recommend this TV very highly.

  Duration of ownership:2 Weeks

  Strengths: Excellent sound and pictures/set-up is a breeze/looks outstanding

  Weaknesses: no cable card and lack of PIP

  Overall Evaluation: Been using this tv for 2 weeks now and very satisfied with its performance. Got the tv from 6thAve from their latest sale and I think it is worth every penny I paid for it. The picture is so crisp and real. The speaker system is excellent. You probably wont even use your surround system on this tv. I have been on the market for plasma tv for years now with this tv, I am not disappointed. Panasonic you did it again. Will buy another one for the bedroom.
