Looks good but stay away!!

I loved the technical features of this TV when I bought it in 2001. But it was bad news from the start. It took 4 months to get from FL (I'm in CA) and I think I got a floor model. The picture wouldn't come on half the time. It was in for service twice...

Do Not Buy

I purchased this TV in Dec 2001 for $9,000 (+or-). They gave me the floor model for the upcoming Olympic Games until mine arrived. I paid over $20,000 for an entire system from Tweeter in Dallas. Nothing but problems- receivers, Direct TV and other...

DO NOT BUY Panasonic DLP TV

I bought Panasonic PT52DL on October 10, 2003. It worked fine for a while then all of sudden, on January 10, 2004, there was no picture. I called the company and they directed me to a local facility. They came and picked up the TV. First they told me...

DON'T BUY THIS TV

Figure one bulb a year. So your buying new $425 TV annually. Can't buy bulbs anywhere except Panasonic. Panasonic couldn't even send me directions for bulb installation at first. . . it took them 2 weeks because they renamed bulb part number but didn't...

Picture Brightness in Bright Room is Great, Light weight TV. High Definition picture is great.

Expensive optical light box$2000 out 2x on my TV. Replacement bulbs$425 out already also.

Ooooh la la

First of all, I won this TV in a promotion by my employer, (the one that makes the DLP - Texas Instruments), so I did not pay for it.

Product Specifications

The PT-52DL10 combines the Texas Instruments Digital Micromirror Device (DMDTM) with original Panasonic optical structuring and the latest innovations in visual technology. The DMD is an optical semiconductor chip that has approximately one million in-line microscopic mirrors, each representing one pixel. Responding to a digital signal, the mirrors change angles and can switch on and off, up to thousands of times per second, to produce a high-resolution 1280 x 720 image. A pulse width modulation system works to reproduce colors and grayscale with incredible accuracy. Digital Light Processing technology also reduces the pixellation effects and digital artifacts to create a stable image without perceptible color bleed or misconvergence.Two built-in tuners with the useful picture-in-picture feature let you watch two TV programs simultaneously. Swap the main screen and inset picture at the touch of a button. You can use this feature to search your favorite channel memory, or to scan available channels in the inset picture during channel search. Split Screen Display and Channel Search: Split screen divides the screen in half, down the middle, to give you yet a second option for viewing two TV programs simultaneously. In split-screen mode, each program is shown at full height, with one program on each side of the screen. Audio plays from the picture on the left. Simply use the SWAP button when you want to switch sound from one side to the other.
