Strengths: Best contrast ratio/black levels next to Pioneer. Excellent HD rendition, better than most SD rendition. Build quality/reliability/brand support. More than enough inputs. Anti burn-in/image retention
Weakness: No VGA/DVI port/direct 1:1 pixel mapping from computer (HDMI can be used but image is slightly overscanned). No user control over RGB levels (Service menu only). Blacks could be blacker like Pioneer
Excellent value especially after recent MSRP drop to $1499 and many sale options lowering prices another 20% to up to 35% from that. After doing a lot of research I found that Pioneer offer the best blacks, highest quality and extra features but cost almost double. Samsung offer more features and slightly more accurate color/more user control but seemingly at the cost of long term reliability and...
Strengths: Pleasing Colors. Easy on the eyes. Black is rich (compared to LCD's). Excellent viewing angle. Free Panasonic concierge service for one year to answer any questions.
Weakness: I wish they had provided more than one "Video In" on the back panel. It would be good if Panasonic provided user menu to view number of hours run. Won’t get the brightness of LCD TV's.
Ok, so after researching online about LCD's and Plasma's for god knows how many hours, my wife and I finally stepped into a Circuit City and spent a good 5 hours there. To be honest, our first trip was mighty confusing in terms of trying to make a buying decision, with rows and rows of TV's all around; it was hard to tell the difference. It was tough to concentrate on one screen, with them being...
Strengths: Excellent picture out of box even in SD mode.
Weakness: None so far
I have not upgraded to HD - but finally got rid of my 14 year old monster. Standard definition is very clear on this set. Was going to by a LCD - but after reading more about this plasma and not finding any bad reviews, I could not pass up the $1099 from Sears. Glad I did - Would buy again in a heartbeat.
Strengths: Great picture, very easy to set up, sleek look to the tv itself
Weakness: no PIP
Just purchased through Sears believe it or not was cheaper than buying directly through Panasonic, don't know how long it will last but 1199.00 was a great price. I also agree with other reviews prior to my that the 720m vs 1080m is not worth the extra 800.00 dollars. The high deph picture is awesome, don't plan to upgrade my dvd so the 720m was good for me. The set up was very easy to put...
Strengths: Terrific picture and vibrant color. Easy to put on the stand, i found the TV to be perfectly stable on the stand. It was very easy to setup and connect. I am very pleased with this TV.
Weakness: None that I have found so far.
Excellent product, great price. I would recommend this to anyone. HD looks awesome on this and sound is good although it won't beat real surround sound.
Strengths: Great Picture Great Price Large Screen Plasma(I prefer over LCD) 3 HDMI Ports Great Price
Weakness: If I didn't mount the TV I wouldn't like the stand but I think mounting is one of the main reasons to get a flat panel.
I researched the junk out of TV before deciding on this. I did a side by side compare with the Pioneer Kuro and even asked the sales reps to switch the sources to ensure to take that out of the equation. All in all this was VERY comparable for a lot better price. Personally the 1080P was just something I could not justify the price for. I went from a standard tv to this so in my world this thing...
Strengths: Great Plasma Quality, Contrast Ratio, Ease of Use, Image Shifting (to prevent burn in), and many more!
Weakness: Have not found any.
This was my first Plasma TV purchase and I was amazed with the picture quality! The viewing angle of 160 degrees was a dramatic improvement over my older DPL. With 3D motion adaptive you do not have to worry about annoying burn in. The contrast ratio and resolution quality are both awesome for the price. I hooked my computer up to this monster and was blown away with the clarity. There are tons...
Strengths: Outstanding picture quality, easy to set up
Weakness: None that i can see so far.
This TV is a newer version then the one reported on in Consumer Reports and it has out done our expectations. My wife doesn't need her glasses to be able to see the TV. The sound is good too. We are going to hook it up to a BOSE surround sound system. Oustanding TV.
Strengths: Excellent picture, easy to operate, well made and a great price
Weakness: None that I have come across
Been looking for sometime to replace a 14 year old big screen TV. Thought a 1080p LCD was the answer, but saw this one on sale, did some checking and a bit of research. For the money this 720p Plasma is the way to go. Good looking TV, easy set up, stand seems quite sturdy and stable, speakers seem fine for general TV watching, and picture is awsome. Can't see any obvious faults. Save yourself...

Big screen, low price, Panasonic quality
Strengths: Very nice picture, deep blacks, good color, low price, energy efficient, low heat
Weakness: Not optimal for use as a PC monitor, though it can be made to work with a HTPC (read review for details)
This is a great set with a very large, very high-end picture for a great price. Panasonic is on their 11th generation of plasma panels, and it shows. Blacks are excellent, colors are good (I expect them to get better over the first several hundred hours), and in general the image is very deep and natural. It's hard to fault the quality of the picture on this set, which compares well with much...
