Summary: $4,200 Wasted! High-end prices, garbage product.
Comment: I bought this item on the generally good reviews by others, and have been appalled by Panasonic. After exactly 4 weeks, the TV completely stopped working. My first call to Panasonic went well, but they couldn't get a service contractor to my house for 3 business days - 5 days in all including the weekend. If a $4,200 TV dies, I expect the company to have someone at my house within 24 hours, and to mix me a drink while I wait! I had to leave work early in order to be home for the last appointment of the day at 5pm, but the scheduled appointment came and went with no repair guy. I put in a call to the contractor who said I had never been added to his schedule. I then tried for more than an hour to get through to Panasonic but got nothing but busy signals. When I finally got through, I was told that the department I needed was busy, and that they would have to call me back "usually within 24 hours" to tell me why their contractor was a no show. When Panasonic finally got back to me the next day, they appologized, because they had forgotten to book the contractor. They wouldn't let me speak with a supervisor, and the first appointment I could get was 2 days away! If they want to brand themselves as a high-end product, they need a better understanding of what the value proposition entails.

Summary: Mixed Feelings
Comment: I finally made the step-up to Plasma at the end of January in preparation for the superbowl. Purchased through Amazon the TV was about $1000 cheaper than I could get in my area (Denver). TV was sold by 6ave - delivery was fast and efficient in less than a week. Tv worked great for 3 weeks and then went belly up. I had to go back to an old 9 inch screen! 6ave wouldn't help at all - just passed me off to Panasonic. Panasonic actually was pretty helpful. Local repair shop was great ($800 repair to the power unit).
Pros: Great picture
Cons: Seems underpowered in the sound department, No PIP with HDMI, little guidance to get the best picture (the picture settings are overwhelming, TV died after 3 weeks, standard picture looks terrible comparatively, standard picture cannot be sized to widescreen (you'll notice a difference on HD picture (full screen) that goes to 4:3 for commercials that are not HD.

Summary: Panasonic Plasma
Comment: Excellent Plasma TV. It's my 3rd Panasonic. I have the 48", 50" and now the 58". Great color, good blacks and 3 HDMI ports. By ordering thru Amazon, I saved about $1200 over the brick & mortor stores in town. Hook it up to DirecTV and it will blow you away. Highly recommend but be warned, it's very heavy. Shipper did not help with the install, just dumped it in my foyer. No white glove install as advertised.

Summary: Excellent TV - Rich Colors
Comment: I bought this TV from Amazon, order filled by Vanns. I got the TV delivered at my door by Yellow Freight within 5 days of buying the TV. The Yellow freight driver put it at the front door, and I pushed it to my family room. Very pleased with the purchase experience.
The TV has rich vibrant colors, and is a pleasure to watch. I do not have HD cable yet - so SD is okay. However, when I connect the Wii to it, I am floored with the quality of images - I never felt great about Wii's graphics, but this TV forces me to change my opinion (Imagine playing XBox or PS on this !!). The sound is very good - at 25% volume, it is very loud and clear.
I had this TV for less than 24 hours, but am very happy so far. I will update this after a few months of use.
** If you are buying it online, get some help, as this TV is heavy - it is about 175 lbs with Stand ***
