I have owned this television for 2 years now. Purchased from CompUsa for 999. I have never had an issue with it. I utilize the dvi for my dvd player.. Very crisp Picture, Lots of choices for image, and though it is a heavy beast, I have been very pleased with it. No complaints whatsoever. Maybe I'm just blessed, but this has been one fine machine

I bought this TV directly from Panasonic. Got a great deal, the picture is sharp although there is some shadowing I can't get rid of completely.

I would not recommend this TV however. I have owned my TV for 11 weeks and it has not worked for 6 weeks of that time. It has spent more time being repaired than it has working. The TV has had multiple failures and Panasonic refuses to replace it. They want to continue fixing my current, obviously seriously flawed TV. At a very slow pace might I add. Panasonic customer service has been horrible, I would not recommend this TV or any Panasonic TV to anyone.

I bought this TV in Feb 04. Used it weekends only for 3 years, and fulltime 4th year. It quit working Nov 08. No power from remote or front button. Extremely heavy and bulky to move around. I should have read all the negative internet chatter on this model and bought LCD.

I bought this Panasonic a few years ago before LCD's and plasma's dropped in price. I specifically shopped for Panasonic because I like the brand and was always happy with whatever Panasonic product I bought. Today I wouldn't recommend this model because: (1) I' ve had to have it serviced twice--my previous Panasonic lasted nearly 20 years with ZERO repairs. Both times the parts were under $5.00 but home service and labor cost me more than $230 bucks; and (2) It's a beast, weighing over 100 pounds and very bulky. Why buy a monster like this when you can buy and tote home an LCD under your arm?! And, of course, if you need an LCD or plasma repaired, you can carry it in yourself. So it looks like next time this TV craps out (as I'm sure it will), I'll be looking for a different brand.

The picture quality of this TV is excellent and the tv is cheaper compared to the similar version of Sony. I bought the first same TV from circuit city and bought the second one from amazon.It has been 10 days and amazon has not shipped my order.
