I couldn't be more satisfied.

"Have also matched a Panasonic Blu-ray Disc player DMP-BD60 with my TH-50PZ850U Plasma TV. It does a nice job of up-converting my old DVD's and looks fantastic on the TH-50PZ850U. The only thing I would have liked to have seen in all big screen TV design, is having the design such as to accommodate to allow placement of a center speaker (such as my Bose) just below the picture without blocking the remote pickup ..."

Panasonic Didn't Care

"My TV shut itself off every 2 minutes the day I got it. Getting service took 2 calls; 5 days was the soonest they could visit. A 4th call revealed a loaner was available if I'd make a 5th call, to the service company. It works now, but Panasonic's indifference cost them any future business from us...." Read Full Review »

"This is my first HDTV. It is a huge upgrade over my 15 year old 27" Philips TV. So saying the picture is amazing really isn't saying much; I think I would say the same thing about almost any high end HDTV I bought. The TV looks awesome even when shut off. I do have it in a room with lots of windows, …"  Read Full Review »

"Panasonic makes stunning plasmas, no question. This model has a number of new features, not all of which are flawless. First, unlike my older Panasonic 42" this one has a cooling fan which, when sound is muted, is clearly audible. The SD chip slide show has limited functions and the Viera cast is a …"  Read Full Review »
