Summary: Very nice
Comment: It took a long time but I finally made up my mind and bought one. I'm on Comcast with extended basic. The tv tuned in all the local HD feeds and they look great. I particularly like the PBS channel's HD feed, but all the major network's pictures are fantastic. The audio from the HD feeds is nice and full. Overall the experience when watching HD feeds is super. The standard channels look ok with the right screen setting, at least no worse than my old tube. The TV is a little slow to change channels when you input the channel directly, but it moves quickly when navigating up or down. The HD channels are all number dash number. For instance, ABC is on channel 7, but the HD feed is 7-1. To tune that station I have to navigate up from channel 7. Not a big deal but I cannot input it directly.
I hooked up a Phillips upconvert DVD player using a three dollar HDMI cable I also found on Amazon and the picture is fantastic. It was definitely worth the 60 bucks I paid at Sam's Club for it.
So, the picture looks great and the TV sounds good. I have the set in a very bright room and the antiglare does a nice job of eliminating reflections while not degrading the picture. My only regret is not getting the 50".

Summary: 42" Plasma TV
Comment: This is a great Plasma.I have been looking for more than a year for the right Plasma.My computer teacher convinced me to buy a Panasonic 42" PLasma HDTV.I've had it for over a month and it is absolutely fantastic. The picture clarity is outstanding and the color is beautiful and very real.So far, this has been a great investment and I believe I have the best out there.

Summary: Near Perfect Plasma
Comment: Beautiful picture . This is our second Panasonic 42" Plasma. My biggest worry was getting delivery into the house and getting it up the stairs to the TV room. Picture had weird green dots first day and a month later . Cured itself the first day and then free tech swapped circuit boards when it reoccurred. Great service.

Summary: Power Supply Problem?
Comment: I did a lot of research before I bought this tv, but being a newer model, could only compare it to similar models. I have had this set for about 3 1/2 months. I love the hd picture, upconverted standard dvds look awesome, and the sd picture is pretty good on most channels. However, I came home this evening, turned it on and nothing. The power light just flashes 7 times over and over. I called Panasonic and they are supposedly arranging for somebody to come out next week to look at it. We're watching a 13 inch RCA on a cardboard box. I saw another review on here with the same problem and as much as I paid for this, I'm going to be nervous about it from now on. I would highly recommend an extended warranty.

Summary: Great TV, 1080p is worth the extra few bucks
Comment: Got a 720p and took it back the 1080p works better with the Blu-ray
1080p is the only way to go. This is a Great TV Rated high in Consumers Report
Plasma is better for just TV and not computer
