I am VERY happy with this TV. I upgraded from a 1994 model Panasonic CRT 26-inch. I have been very pleased with Panasonic reliability over the years. I researched 720p vs. 1080p and learned that my cable company feeds mostly 720p. If it feeds something higher, this TV will up-convert to 1080i. Since the human eye can't tell the difference at 10 feet, my normal viewing distance, why pay for 1080 or LCD? I have seen no blurring in fast motion, as is common with LCD. This plasma does not throw out much heat as the old ones did.
When I first hooked up this TV, I tried a DVD (1980s TV series) and was not happy with the quality; I thought I had made a big mistake. Then I remembered others' reviews that emphasized signal source. I put in a better DVD and was very pleased. Then I upgraded to HD via my cable company and WOW. They used a quality HDMI cable, and the picture is fantastic. I watch mostly TV programs and DVDs, no video games.
This was a perfect choice for me. I got it for five and a quarter BenFranklin bills at a local retailer h_h_gr$gg. I could not be happier and I would recommend it to anyone. It is a quality TV at a recession price.

I love this TV. I bought this to replace a 30" CRT for our living room. I did a lot of research and this had all the bells and whistles I wanted at a very affordable price. I love being able to name the inputs (there are more than what I need). That way when my kids want to watch something I don't need to choose which input they need. I also like that you can adjust the picture and volume for each of the inputs. We are still "old school" and have a VCR hooked up to this TV and being able to adjust the picture for the videos has made a big difference. Especially when I go to watch a DVD and I don't have to switch it back. They have preset settings but also a custom setting that you can use. It remembers your custom setting so if you want to look at the other settings to decide what you like you don't have to keep adjusting the custom settings you had. The menus are pretty easy to navigate and give you a variety of setting to choose from. If you are worried about burn in this TV has some settings and even a scroll bar to take care of that.
The only thing I do not like is that is does not have an audio out for RCA. It does have digital, but like I said we are still alittle "old school" and don't have a digital surround sound unit. For me the sound coming from the TV is good - not great- especially if you adjust the treble and bass settings a little. I guess the next investment after Blue-Ray will be digit audio.

After a lot of research it became apparent that a 720P HD TV made
the most sense economically and a plasma format the best picture.
The picture both with and without HD is super.Set up in a small room with lots of bay windows. Absolutely no reflection on screen. The
filter works perfectly. Manual is user friendly. The sound is acceptable but not great.The diagrams for attaching the base to the
screen needs improving. I find it hard to believe that a 1080P set
is worth the significant extra cost.I paid $580.00 at Costco which
includes an extra years warranty.Great value for the money.

I purchased this TV from Amazon.com on black friday. Even though the TV is 720p, there is no difference in picture quality compared to my Sony Bravia z-series 46 inch TV, which is 1080p by the way. Be sure to hook up the HDMI cable to the TV and I promise the picture will be great! I bought this TV for my bedrooom. Before this TV I had a Panasonic tube flat screen, and I never watched TV in our bedroom.. And now my wife complains that I only watch TV in the bedroom with her because of the TV. Sunday Football is great on this TV. I highly encourage anyone to purchase this TV. Great bang for your buck!

Nice clear picture, easy set up and can't beat the price. I use it with a wall mount so it takes up less space in the game room. Even though it is a 780 dpi you can not really tell the difference. Glad to have saved the money with Amazon.com Highly suggest this purchase for those looking for a excellent value and dependable product. The remote is also nice because it has the bigger buttons.
