 Best bang for your Buck October 11, 2008
Alfred Lim (Alameda, CA USA)
I researched flat screen TVs on CNET and Amazon before deciding on the Panasonic 42 inc 720p plasma. After a month of viewing, I am very happy w/ the picture, color, and sound. This TV is now in our family room but will eventually find a place in our master bedroom. I chose Amazon over Best Buy or Costco because the price was compeitive and included delivery. The folks who delivered the set were quick and courteous. They delivered, unpacked, installed the base, placed the set where I wanted, connected the cables, and turned the set on before leaving w/ the packing materials. The 42 inch 720p is fine for our bedroom since I don't plan to watch dvds and the set is over 10 feet away. Our experience w/ Amazon is a positive one; I would buy my next TV from them.

Great Plasma for the money! October 5, 2008

I've been looking for an HDTV 40' or 42' for a while and had my mind set on an LCD, a Samsung or Sony was what I was getting. I was waiting for the prices to go down to 900-1000. When I saw the ad for the Panny 42' plasma at Sears for $720!!, I did a little research for reviews on the set and then immediately jumped on the deal. br / br /After I calibrated the set, I am SO pleased with the picture quality. SD comes in great and HD comes in fantastic. I have it hooked up to an HDMI cable and Comcast. The TV is in my bedroom, so no direct sunlight and the plasma is just amazing! I sit about 12 feet away and the 1020p picture quaility did not make huge difference so I opted for the 720p. The 1020p was on sale for $900. br / br /For $720 it's the best TV for the money. No buyers remorse here. I LOVE my TV. Can't wait to watch my football games now!!!
 Great TV for the price September 29, 2008

This TV has a very good quality picture and excellent sound. I have a Samsung 5.1 surround sound system but for ordinary television viewing, the Panasonic TV sounds as good as the sound system. Panasonic is a great, reliable brand when it comes to plasmas. And if you're concerned about plasma burn-in, don't be. I did lots of research before this purchase and the consensus is that burn-in is NOT an issue with modern plasmas such as this one. I've had absolutely no burn-in issues since buying this plasma. I definitely recommend this product, but I give four stars because I generally reserve five-stars for products that are really one-of-a-kind.
Absolutely amazing TV September 29, 2008
E. Roy (Dallas)
Here are my random thoughts on this TV br / br /After weeks of careful research I bought this. br / br /I have had this now for 4 months and I have never regretted it. Picture is amazing and the sound is so good that it has a surround sound type effect. People like it so much that 2 friends and my father bought this exact same model. br / br /My electric bill has not gone up and this TV does not radiate much heat at all which was a concern of mine. br / br /I bought a PS3 and Blu-Ray looks incredible as well. br / br /Note that if you have cable you will most likely need to purchase a HDMI cable to get high quality picture and sound. Cables are fairly cheap and do not get suckered into high dollar cables because it doesn't help much. DirecTV comes with them. br / br /You must invest in a high end surge protector to protect your investment. br / br /Its worth your time spending a hour or so adjusting the setting for picture taste. br / br /No cons that I can think of and I am fairly picky...If I absolutely had to think of one I would say I wish it was a bit thinner and lighter. br / br /No offense to amazon but I would never buy such a high dollar item off a website. Its much better to do at a store with a warranty. br / br /Wonderful TV and I cannot recommend it enough.
