Outstanding TV December 1, 2008

I wholeheartedly agree with the reviewer who ranked this just below the Kuro in quality. The picture is simply outstanding. Make the adjustments noted below, pop in 'Sin City' and prepare to be amazed.

This is it, folks. This is where it's at. The 2nd best plasma on the market (I'm counting the 60" Pioneer Kuro as THE best with an insane price tag). But when it comes to a price normal people can actually afford, this is the TV. Amazing color reproduction, rich and vibrant. Sound not so good but you really must pair this with a nice receiver (like an Onkyo 606) and speakers (I use Polk Audio). br / br /Highly recommend.
Amazing deal and service! November 28, 2008

Thanks to another poster here, I discovered the "bundle deal" - 58" Panasonic w/ the BD35 Blu-ray player. All did not go smoothly at first. I tried to buy the bundle which was a no-brainer - Buy the BD35 for $232 and get a $300 credit on the combo (w/ free freight). After entering both items (which were both listed as in-stock), the $300 credit never appeared on the last screen before hitting the "purchase" button. So I cancelled the transaction and cleared by cache and tried again. This time I used "option 2" which was a small link to the deal. After everything looked ok I hit the purchase button and when I printed it out, it said that the TV would ship between Dec 30 Jan 20! - Needless to say I freaked. I called Amazon Customer Service immediately and they explained that the "deal" was only through Amazon - if I didn't want the free freight and $300 credit I could've purchased it through their partner and received it in a week or so. br / br /The order was placed on Tues, Nov 18 at 9pm (I kept the Amazon deal). The Blu-ray player arrived on Thursday, Nov 20 (w/ the free freight option). On Sunday, Nov 23, the TV still had a ship date of Dec 30 - Jan 20. On Monday I rec'd an email stating that it should arrive around Dec 12 (awesome compared to the original estimate). Guess what - The TV arrived via CEVA on Wed, Nov 26! The whole deal took one week w/ free freight and arrived in perfect condition and the guys even carried it upstairs to my home theater room. I tried to tip them and they said they weren't allowed - I felt bad cause they looked like they were gonna die after navigating my stairway. br / br /By the way - I mounted it w/ a Sanus LT-25 tilting wall mount which I bought through Amazon for $107. It was $219 plus tax at BB. Picture is awesome w/o even tweaking the controls yet. Flesh tones are spot-on. Love the way it looks so much more natural than an LCD. br /
 Very Satisfied Panasonic purchaser! November 10, 2008

I researched HDTV's for over a year and after after careful consideration, I chose the 58" Panasonic Viera Plasma. I've had it for two weeks now and am very very happy with the set (and relieved). A relative has the 60" Pioneer Elite Kuro and paid $7000 for it. I can honestly say that my Panasonic is really close in picture quality to the Pioneer at more than half the price. br / The set up is easy, sound is good and the picture quality is super.
This TV is very crisp and beautiful October 26, 2008

I got this TV b/c cnet seemed to rave about it. I had a TH-50PX600U and that was a nice TV and I'm a big panasonic fan, but this TV I can definitely notice an improvement in quality from my cable HD channels, even though both are from the same 720p signal. In addition, watching Blu-Ray from this is beautiful (I'm using a PS3). I'm really happy with the purchase. One recommendation for anyone owning this TV is to use custom settings and not use the settings that are default. br / br / br /The rest of the review is copy/pasted from "daarrid" over at avsforum.com br /http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1056962 br / br /However lets remember that the THX mode can be adjusted!!!! Panasonic's default settings for THX are just wrong. The CNET reviewer, using a completely dark room, adjusted the THX settings considerably upward from their default settings. Just for the sake of example - CNET increased the picture setting from 50 to 100 for their review. br / br /I'd suggest that anyone owning this set start with CNET's THX settings: br / br /CNET's THX settings (completely dark room): br / br /Picture: 100 br /Brightness: 55 br /Color: 56 br /Tint: 0 br /Sharpness: 50 br /Color Temp: Warm br /Cats: Off br /Color Man.: Off br /MPEG NR: Off br /HD Size: Size 2 br /Black Level: Light br / br / br /Or try My THX Settings (for a dimly lite room): br / br /THX MODE: br / br /Picture: 95 br /Brightness: 62 br /Color: 50 br /Tint: -8 br /Sharpness: 50 br /Color Temp: Normal br /Cats: Off br /Color Man.: On br /MPEG NR: Off br /HD Size: Size 2 br /Black Level: Light br / br /While I use my Custom settings occassionally - tweaking the THX settings are much more important for everyday use. I use THX 90% of the time. The Custom Mode I created, I generally use ONLY for broadcasts made for TV. Remember THX is a movie standard and does not technically apply to TV shows (although some of these TV shows may also look better in THX). br / br /Here are my custom mode settings again (already posted). Use these settings for TV shows and/or movies shown in a bright room: br / br /CUSTOM MODE: br / br /Picture: 85 br /Brightness: 50 br /Color: 34 br /Tint: -7 br /Sharpness: 50 br /Color Temp: Normal br /Cats: Off br /Color Man.: On br /MPEG NR: Off br /HD Size: Size 2 br /Black Level: Light
