Great picture, flawless operationOctober 2, 2008 The picture on this set rivals the HD Sony we had that was a CRT. The TV even makes standard def look better. The picture is bright and the colors are rich, detailed and very natural looking. Not a single hiccup in three months. About the only thing I do not like is the weight, (140+ lbs.) but than it is a 58" TV.
GolferSeptember 30, 2008 The Panasonic 58" Plasma is an excellent TV. The picture is incredible,sound is OK. Got a great price from Amazon Warehouse Deals.
The only issue was an "Out of the box" problem. After setup the TV had a 4" green stripe down the left part of the screen, but it cleared up after 3 days of use. Panasonic Service was excellent, they got a Service call scheduled immediately, which turned out I didn't need.
Beware PanasonicSeptember 21, 2008 I bought a Panasonic plasma 2 years ago and it died for no reason. It will now cost $2000 for the board just to fix it. The TV repairman said he has never seen such a high cost for a replacement board. Multiple different board tried without luck. Still waiting.
Astounding Picture!September 5, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am continually amazed by the picture quailty of this TV. I'm using generic HDMI 1.3 cables with an HDMI 1.3-compliant AVR, a HD DVR, a PS3 and an upscaling DVD player. In 10 months, I have had no problems with the TV (yes, the built-in speakers don't have decent sound, but if you can afford this TV, you shouldn't be using the built-in speakers). Previously, I had a 50-inch Panasonic plasma that died unexpectedly, shortly after the warranty expired. Panasonic customer service was pretty good. They asked me to get a repair quote and submit it to them (prognosis was a bad power supply board). They authorized the repair, and all I paid for was the initial estimate ($75 out of $575). Yes, I agree with generally everyone that there should be a 3-5 year warranty included with such a fine and expensive TV.
Breathtaking! Best bang for the buck!August 14, 2008 No complaints! Picture quality is incredible in HD and more than acceptable in SD. Those who don't like the sound quality must not be hearing the same TV I own, excellent sound.
Buy now before inflation sends the price higher. The price has actually increased since I purchased mine. You can't go wrong with this set!
