I’ve been waiting for over a year to buy a new flat panel TV, and finally decided on this set based on reviews and great price. The price dropped below $1,000 and they were offering a free BD player, I couldn’t resist. Unfortunately, when the set arrived it did not work. There was sound, along with a loud buzz, but no picture. So, I declined shipment and called Amazon customer service. As they are now out of stock on this TV, and apparently have no plans on ordering any more, I was provided a refund and will have to choose another model. I’m sure it would have been a great TV, had it only worked!

Finally pulled the trigger and purchased this TV after shopping for 18 months, largely based on reviews. First, [...] shipped me a broken one, and it took me 10 days (and probably 10 hours of headache) to get a response from them – clearly not worth the good price I got. Then the replacement was broken. (I have read multiple other accounts about this, so would guess this is a fragile model.) Unit #3 was finally functional, a month and a half after I ordered, but I have been terribly disappointed by the limitations of this TV. There is no VGA input, so I have had to purchase either an expensive docking station or converter box to hook up my laptop. There is only a digital audio out, and it is a fixed line-out, so I now have to use the remote from my stereo to mute or adjust the volume. My previous 15 year old TV at least provided RCA audio outs which could be adjusted via the remote. So basically I’ve taken a step backwards in terms of usability. If I were to shop around again, I would be much more sensitive to these issues, as they now affect my interaction with the TV every time I use it. Very disappointing; clearly Panasonic is cutting corners and cheapening their product.

I received this tv about a week ago and right out of the box the wife noticed the left side speaker had a very annoying rattle noise when any bass frequencies came through it.Called Amazon and they told me to contact Panasonic first to see if they could resolve the problem.They had me do alot of finagling with the audio adjustments to determine if I had set it up right or not I guess,all of which I had already tried.When I told them the problem was still there after the adjustments he tried to tell me it was caused by the tvs speakers being so small.I knew this couldn’t be the reason because the rattle was only on the left speaker.Still he insisted there was nothing wrong with the set.When I told him that I was just going to return it to Amazon he then offered to send out a tech to look at the set with the caveat that if the tech decided that there was not a problem I would have to pay for the service call.I told him that this was not acceptable since the tech would probably be biased in their favor since they are paying him,they informed me that was all they could do.On that note I told that him I would be having Amazon pick up the set for return and terminated the conversation.Needless to say I am very disappointed in Panasonic’s handling of this issue and am considering returning the blu-ray player I also just purchased from them.
The picture on this tv in HD is very good as long as the room is not bright,Standard def is mediocre at best.I guess the days of companies standing behind their products is just a thing of the past.
On the plus side Amazon has been very cooperative so far but have not yet tried returning the set yet.

I am delighted with this product and the way I was able to purchase and receive it from Amazon.

This set is almost perfect. The only thing I would have liked Panasonic do was to integrate a more elaborated TV guide for OTA channels, but I guess this is not a big deal.
