Lovin’ the eye candy

I’ve had this TV for over a year and I’m still blown away by the quality. Video quality is absolutely superb. Even the audio is on par or better than similar products. I use this for Blu-ray, PS3 gaming, external monitor for notebook, it works flawlessly for everything. I’m not going to go into all the Pros for this product, so many other reviews covered it all. The only Con that I have is that I didn’t buy two. I will continue to trust Panasonic for the best plasma TVs that you’ll find on the market.

white dust

Bought this tv about a month agao and love everything about it EXCEPT the white dust that accumulates on the screen everyday.It goes from a nice shiny black frame to a white one that looks like someone threw powder all over it.Does anyone know what causes this and how I can get rid of it.We have other TV’s in the house that this does not happen to

GREAT

This product has been great. I am still learning how to use the full potential of the HD but otherwise the picture quality is great and the sound as well. I wish i would have known what a HDMI cable was and what it is used.

Panasonic Viera Plasma TV

I researched this purchase at length before buying. I read all of the rules, checked our budget then consulted with a family member who owned one. I couldn’t be more happy with our purchase. It was exactly what I needed. The seller was great and the product was exactly as advertised. Super easy to hook up, even for a novice like me. Would highly recommend this product.

StdDeff Source Nice

Thought I would comment on Standard Definition (480i) source feeds. Had myself in a tizzy thinking the whole house audio/visual distribution system I designed in 1998 would have to be overhauled.

Composite (Yellow video, R/W audio RCA plugs) 480i feeds are upconverted by this unit nicely and produce a much richer picture compared to the 2003 Panasonic 42″ SDTV plasma it replaced. While the “right” way to do the setup would be HDMI cables from the DVD players to the TV, I am very satisfied with the picture and saved myself a pile of work.

While of little interest to most, I am disappointed by Panasonic’s lack of discrete IR codes for ON and FORMAT (ASPECT) in this unit. The Panasonic 42″ has codes for Full, Just and Zoom I use in the Pronto universal remotes. Having to toggle my way to Zoom is a bother. OK, not important but this unit doesn’t do something the old one does and that is not progress. Minus 1 Star.

If you have HD sources, do the HDMI work. If you don’t, let the TV do the work and just enjoy your DVDs.

BTW – I bought this from TigerDirect, their customer service and shipping to Hawaii was terrible.

Great TV

I’ve had this for about 6 months. While regular TV may not be quite as sharp as LCD, overall this is great TV especially with blu-ray movies.

Stop all your research and buy this TV

I’m a research freak, especially when it comes to electronic items. By now most of you should have already decided on LCD or Plasma. For me picture quality (black levels etc) was the most important factor I was looking for in a TV. If this TV fits in your price range, then go ahead and buy it, you will definitely not regret it. Since it is a plasma, this TV does use up a higher wattage number compared to the LCD’s and after 3-4 hours of viewing the TV screen does start to get hot and you can feel the heat coming off it when you stand near it. Surprisingly the fans inside the TV do a great job because you dont feel too much hot air coming from the back of the tv. After the first 100 – 200 hrs break in period this TV will definitely keep you satisfied for the life of it. JUST BUY IT ALREADY.

5 stars

The product is great. I am very pleased. This is my second panasonic plasma. The first was a 42inch 720p. The service was great from Amazon.com also. I would use the site again in a second.

BUY IT!!!!!

I bought mine through Amazon and had a great deleivery experience. It was at my house within a week, they waited while I tested all HDMI ports, etc. As far as TV goes, for $1,100 things thing just ROCKS anything within reach of that prize, – the picture is unreal. Throw in one of the 2009 Panasonic Blu Rays that were just released and you will be delighted. I do recommend you own a surround set-up as I am not thrilled with the sets sound but for just normal viewing it is sufficent.

Great TV!!!

I decided to get a new TV for the family room and my son’s bedroom, so I did a ton of research, studying, reading reviews and looking at the displays at the various stores in my area. I came to the conclusion that… the Pioneer Kudos plasmas were the best, but too pricey. The Panasonic plasma and Sony XBR LCD were my next two choices. I finally decided on the Sony, but was disappointed to learn that the size I wanted wouldn’t fit in my entertainment center. So I bought a Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ85U for the family room and Sony Bravia KDL-32XBR6 for my son. Both are beautiful TVs with excellent picture quality. You can’t truly appreciate them until you connect a high definition source like HD-TV or Blu-ray. I love the Sony, because it weighs less, has a less reflective screen, a more user friendly menu and sharp bright colorful picture. The Panasonic’s picture on the other hand is warm and natural with life like flesh tones, deep blacks and excellent colors. Neither TV has very good sound, but that’s easily remedied with a home theater system or a less expensive sound bar (I’d recommend the Sony HT-CT100). I’d go with the Sony if your TV will be in a brightly lit room or a room that receives daylight from windows. Go with the Panasonic if your TV will be in a dimly lit room and you’re looking for a more theater like experience. Either way, you can’t go wrong; both TVs are a fine choice.
