My first HDTV and blown away by it,

I recently decided that it’s time to upgrade to an HDTV, and I did a lot
of research before settling on this model. I’m not an A/V expert, but I am an
enthusiast, and I can tell you that this TV is simply amazing. I highly
recommend it. I can’t get very technical, but here are just a few thoughts on
why I rate this TV so highly: In the end, the quality of the picture is what
it’s about. I run Panasonic HDMI cables from a Comcast HD DVR through my Denon
850 receiver (1080 passthrough). The clarity, color and vibrancy of HD channels
are breathtaking. These new Panasonic models increased the contrast ratio
considerably, and I do think it makes a big difference. Even SD programming
looks good on the set. I also have an SD DVD player hooked up with component
cables, and even though it’s not an upconverting player the picture is still
amazing. Daytime viewing is good, although it does look better at night with
less light. The new anti-reflective screen on this model does a great job, but
this is still a problem I don’t think any Plasma TV has solved completely yet.
If I leave our living room light on it does reflect on the screen (but it looks
better in the dark anyway…). I’m still in the first 100 hours so I’m in the
breaking in stage, but I haven’t seen any signs of image retention. It sounds
like the new models made big strides in this area as well. The on-screen set-up
menus are intuitive and easy to use — didn’t have to open the manual once. My
final comment is about Amazon.com’s part in this. I order it directly from
Amazon (make sure you check who the seller is), and the experience was
flawless. They use a distribution company for delivery, and they call you with
a 4-hour time window before they deliver the TV. They also unpack it so that
you can inspect for damage – if anything is wrong they take it right back! …

Best TV I’ve Owned Yet

I’ve had this television for over six months now and could not be
happier. My husband and I made our purchase at Sears and were originally
planning on getting a Sony since we were so happy with our old Sony Wega. As we
looked at all the display plasma ……
