This TV exceeds my expectations in every way. I made the purchase based on reviews, both professional and the ones posted here on Amazon.com. After 100 hours of viewing over the last few weeks the picture still stops me in my tracks! HD is stunning and SD content looks pretty good as well (Ammazing for a 50"). The speakers do not sound very robust compared to my big Sony CRT (Exceptional sound for a TV) but I always listen through my AV setup anyway. One last thing...the set looks beautiful even when turned off. Very well designed!
The Free White Glove delivery went great. The TV arrived on time and in perfect condition. In closing, I highly recommend this set!

I had really high hopes for this TV given all the terrific reviews on this site. The image is fantastic, even stunning until somebody moves or the camera pans then the image becomes very blurry and annoying to watch. In these times of the handheld shakeycam craze this picture is totally unacceptable. Panasonic has taken this set away twice to correct this problem and has replaced 3 boards but it comes back looking no better. From that I must assume that this is the way it's supposed to look. Panasonic gets 4 stars for their service, I cannot fault them at all in that area and the set appears to be well made and easy to set up and operate. I made the mistake of thinking the set needed repairs because so many reviews stated "no motion blur". My 30 day return option to Amazon expired while the set was in the shop. Unlike reviewer Anamika Padavalo, who was able to "plunk down another grand" for a Pioneer I am stuck with this set. I suppose the lesson learned here is not to invest much in these reviews because lets face it we don't know who these screwballs are.

Great performing TV! Setup was a breeze--although despite how thin it is, it is pretty heavy. Delivery was prompt and efficient. I wish it had picture in picture, but the HD picture itself is phenom!

I have wanted a flat screen since they first came out and it was about 400 dollars an inch for anything over 19 inches. I took the plunge and ordered this set in August 08. I can say nothing but good things about the screen and features thus far, the picture and settings are just awesome. It is very hard to go to any of my families houses and watch their televisions.

We purchased a Panasonic 50" plasma from Amazon. The transaction was simple and straight forward and the delivery came on time. We researched the set on line and at stores and found Amazon very competitive in price and they lived up to their reputation on delivery. The set arrived the day it was scheduled and in perfect condition. I checked back with Amazon after the purchase and the price dropped. When I contacted them, there was no hesitation and I received over $120 refund. With that and the savings originally, we purchased a Wii and now we are having some fun!

This was my first HD TV. When I bought the TV I thought I will have free access to HD programs on TV, I was wrong, Buying HD TV does not mean you can now view TV in HD free of charge, Comcast is charging me additional $10 a month, in return they will send you a new HD cable box, The Quality of the picture is very good for HD programs, but for regular programs you may loose some resolution and the picture may look worse than standard TUBE style TV

Honestly? I've been researching Plasma's and LCD's for about a solid year now. 1: LCD's are about 5 years behind Plasma TV's so if your local salesman tries telling you otherwise just compare pictures. The fact you notice Plasma's are VISIBLY deeper in color and crisper should give you a real good clue. Where as Plasma TV's are about a year from reaching true black levels, LCD's are easily 3 to 5 years away still. So I've fully decided on a Plasma. Not to mention overall, prices are now much more competitive with Plasma's.

Secondly, In comparing Plasma TV's two brands consistently rate among the top 2. The Pioneer Kuro and the Panasonic Viera. The lates Kuro Elite 50 inch (Soon to put out a 46 and 42 inch model which is more preferrable to me.) is rated as having almost near black level. The JUST receently released Panny alledgedly is even SLIGHTLY better by all color testing measures. I think it was released like last week and isn't even on the U.S Market yet. So anyway, I read this as I was about to buy the Panny 46 inch 800u NOT 80u. The Panny 800u is extremely highly rated and at a much more reasonable price than the entirely over priced Pioneer which caters to the upper income bracket. Silly if you ask me. Same technowledgy just high priced by a mile. So that narrowed my search to a Panny.

3: So I'm about to buy it when I read a just released report on next years models. It appears to be rumored both Panny and Pioneer intend to or have reached ACTUAL TRUE black levels. So that stopped me in my tracks. Why pay over 2 grand when next years Models will be far superior. The argument is they will always be better but from my research, with Digital the new standard in Feb and many needing new TV's, there will be an even bigger push to get out the most improved model possible next year to attract the new consumer. (Which is sorta bogus cause all you need is a cable box and wallah digital) but many will be completely duped into thinking they need a new TV. So with that new push for the latest tech, recent rumors and money conerns, I personally recommend waiting a year.

BUT, if you buy a TV? I myself recommend the 46 to 50 inch Panny Viera 800u. It's been consistently rated higher than the newer 850u and visually, I myself see no real difference to the Pioneer which is at least 1200 more.

It's just as most of the other reviews have said. It's a fantastic tv, well worth the price in my opinion, and I'd buy another, if I could go back in time and do it over.
