2TH50PZ700U  Nov 26, 2009
Yes, I know this is supposed to be for 800U's and mines a 700U but the point is that they are basically the same and i need to vent. I referenced consumer reports and at the time the 700U was the cream of the crop. I will agree, it is a very nice unit. the sound produced from the tv speakers are very impressive. (surround system hadnt been hooked up yet). its all for not as this TV was purchased 2 years ago and now its gone black. so yes, this tv is a great tv....its RELIABILITY on the other hand is NOT!!!!! you know, you get these reviews and such, when they are new tv's, they're ALL nice tv's but i guess when it comes down to it, its about reliability as well. i have had CRT tv's last for over 20 years. this is pathetic. a $2300 unit only lasts 2 years. i have since read reviews with similar problems with these panasonics. the repair guy told me that there was a class action suit and that panasonic has extended the warranties on 42" plasmas. any lawyers out there want to see what we can do for the 50"ers. picture and function great.......while it lasts.

5Awesome TV  Oct 27, 2009
I did a lot of research, and decided to go with this TV. I haven't been sorry! The picture is so clear - it's absolutely amazing watching sports. And it makes me feel good that a year after my purchase, I have yet to see someone else with a better picture! I ordered from amazon, and am so happy with the price and service. Thank you!

5My reference Panel  Oct 21, 2009
I've owned this panel for over a year now and I couldn't be happier although I have one minor peeve. I just purchased my first blu-ray player and there is no way to label an input blu-ray. Also I'd like to add I've played several discs at 1080p/24 and found none of the flickering problems mentioned by other reviewers. (Oppo BDP-83). If I get the 100,000 hrs quoted for the half life I'll be one happy camper.

5Was a great TV, but only lived for 14 months  Sep 12, 2009
If I had rated this TV a few days ago, it would have gotten five stars. However, it just died the other night while my wife and I were watching TV on it. It made a 'pop', and the picture went away.

I tried disconnecting the power, and turning it back on. It blinks the red LED ten times, waits, then repeats. Looks like an error code to me.

It was a great TV before it died. It died about two months after the one year warranty ran out.

Update 2009-10-27: Got a call from Panasonic today, and they are going to cover the full cost of replacing the plasma display. Turns out the plasma display had a two year warrantee, even though the TV itself only had a one year warrantee. Thank you Panasonic!

5impressive picture  Aug 29, 2009
We got the TV in January. I just now tore myself away from it long enough to review it.

We bought a Disney (blu-ray) movie with a travelogue feature of the grand canyon included - loking at the feature, on the TV was like looking through a window. - even standing way too close to the screen.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!

Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)

The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)

"
Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."

Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
