With the help of a technically-minded nephew, we purchased this TV last year. The three main considerations for us were:
1) Budget-less than $1500.00
2) Space-needed to fit in the area we had our last TV (42" wide. This TV just made it with less than an inch to swivel, and it needed to fit
on our current AV table.
3) Quality - HDTV capable, plasma, easy setup
This unit is really great. All the features are terrific, with the input/output connections well placed, and easily accessed on the rear of the unit. I am soon getting a new DVD player to use with it, but not a Blu-Ray player because they are still too pricey for me.
When we only watch standard, non-HDTV tv then there isnt a big difference between this unit and our last tv. The picture is okay, and you have to watch some shows with the black boxes on the side (ratios can be adjusted)
However, this unit really shines when we watch the HDTV channels from Time/Warner cable. The HDTV package is extra $$$ but it is well worth it. Movies are incredibly detailed and rich. Sports are amazing. You can really catch the detail of the action. Recording HDTV shows look as though we are seeing real-time cable. This product is a year old, so Panasonic probably has newer models out. I highly recommend you include this unit in your HDTV search. Great bang for the buck (when you have HDTV service and a good DVD player....)
