    Posted by: from New York, NY on 04/01/2013An upgrade from a much smaller plasma but it did not dominate LR as I had feared. Great picture in day (big windows) and night. Very easy to use both for internet and for displaying photos from SD card. Photos from Nikon D7000 SLR display beautifully. Sports are best of all on it but old movies (e.g., TCM) display without expected grain. My hard-to-satisfy brother, also looking for a new TV, is very pleased with it. Big price reduction from first year makes this a great buy. And I haven't even tried 3-D on it yet. Good remote (no remote is great) has a minimal learning curve. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

    Great picture except but reflection on screen
    4
    Posted by: from Palmyra, NJ on 03/29/2013The TV has a great picture except for the reflective nature of the screen. It is difficult to look past the reflections in the daylight hours. I am also disappointed in the poor performance of the Panasonic recommended keyboard. The TV doies not recognize the tab key or the built-in trackball. many other KB functions do not work either. Entering data is easier with the keyboard but still very difficult. I hope Panasonic updates the software soon to correct this problem. The hard ciopy user manual leaves much to be desired. The built-in manual is cumbersome to use. Generaly I am satisfied with the TV but it could certainly be improved expecially for such an expensive TV

    I love this TV!
    5
    Posted by: from Philly suburbs on 03/29/2013This is a great TV, it replaces another Panasonic plasma I have and it is a pleasure to watch. The sound is good as is, even without the surround on, and the colors are soooo rich. It has plenty of inputs and options, and the mini-remote with the touchpad is neat for surfing. About the only negative impression i had was that the HDMI inputs are all way off to the left side, near the USBs, and when connecting the DVD and cable box, the 6' cords were stretched to the limit. If you snake cables through the wall to a home theater set of equipment in a credenza below, go for 9' HDMI cables. Overall, though, a fantastic addition to the family room wall!

    Awesome TV

    Posted by: from Bellmawr, NJ on 03/22/2013I love this TV! The picture quality is amazing. The colors are so bright. Sports look so great. Blu-rays movies are fantastic.. Just watched The Hobbit and it looked as good as in the theater.. The Internet access is pretty fast and very smooth. I did a lot of research before we decided on this TV and all of the critics were correct, this is the BEST TV I have ever scene!!

    Great TV
    5
    Posted by: from West Lafayette, IN on 03/22/2013This TV is a replacement of a Toshiba that was under warranty and had to be replaced. They did not make the same TV, so they replaced it with the Panasonic 3D. We haven't been able to use the 3D yet, because we can't find the glasses in stock. The quality of the picture is good but has a glare with bright light from the sun coming in the windows. We use the cable remote. Haven't been able to figure out the remote that came with it. It was very easy to hook it up to the wireless internet, and we haven't had any problems with it. Good sound quality.

    Posted by: from San Francisco on 03/15/2013i am perfectly happy with this new TV which is a big improvement compared to our previous one by the size and the quality of the image (brighter colors,3D dimension, quality of the sound). I would highly recommend it to anybody.
