So far so good !

The colours are sharp and bright, it is easy to follow the manual, the remote is easy too. The screen can get scratched so you need to be careful if you have little kids but minute scratches doesn't affect the display. We love it, great brand and wish...

Wide viewing angle

Excellent

i really like this tv, and compared to the Sony and LG tv's this is great value for money! provided you keep the tv in a well ventaled area so it doesnt over heat, it should provide you with years of enjoyment.

the best feature by far on this television unit is the easy to use remote. the button are big, and they writing on the buttons are clear. Other features of this product i really liked is the wide viewing angle. it allows the viewer to sit almost 150...

the tv over heats alot, but that is normal for most big tv these days.

Good

I love having a nice big telly which is clear and has a good sound. It also looks pretty good in our renovated family room

We bought this television at a great price as it was getting towards the end of HD (not "full HD") televisions. So it only cost $1200. I was reticent about purchasing a plasma as my sister's who bought one (a very expensive one) 7 years ago has broken...

I think it uses a fair bit of power as the screen is warm to touch, so that is not a good thing

Excellent

Great TV, and all Pana Plasma's seem to have the edge over others with functions and quality! Did heaps of research and glad I picked Panasonic

Like others, easy setup & fantastic picture, with so far no problems. Also good to have reminder to scan new channels pop up when they are available.

None so far, except glare from direct sunlight can be a bit annoying late in the arvo

Terrible

Seems to be a common problem no that I've searched a bit online and these TVs are getting a bit of use. Panasonic still haven't returned my emails regarding this issue either.

Sames as others with regards to picure quality, etc. All very good

Stopped working about 5 weeks out of warranty. Blinking red light and no picture.

Bad

Whats the point of a good picture if it doesn't work. That they didnt do a recall will stop me buying Panasonic again.

All the same as everybody else has said, it's great.

Stopped working entirely 1 mnth out of warranty

Excellent

I have had this TV for 18 months. It is my first Plasma so I have nothing to compare with, but I cant see that I could have bought better, as I cant find anything but good to say about this TV. My sister has one also and thinks the same about hers.

Fantastic picture, good sound, easy to follow menu.
