I own this HDTV for about 6 month and never have any problem with it. This HDTV can accept 1080p signal through HDMI port only. Allow up to 720p signal on component video. Although I don't see much different picture quality between 720p and 1080p. XBox 360 games look wonderful on this HDTV. I love this HDTV and recommend it to anybody who looking for HDTV at great price point. Nice!....(followed by one minute silent), High five!?
What's great about it: Amazing on HD signal & accept 1080p via HDMI
What's not so great: Release lot of heat. "Oh, the humanity!"

I love this TV. The picture is great and the set-up was easy. The only problem with set-up was that it did not automatically scan for digital channels. This was easily remedied by using menu selection to manually scan all analog and digital channels. Even though we only have an analog cable service, once the digital channels were scanned, we were able to receive quite a few high def channels for free! Definitely the picture looks MUCH better on the HD channels.
Right after purchasing this TV, noticed a newer model Panasonic plasma 720p with 3 HDMI inputs, instead of 2. Oh well. Still happy with this purchase.

Panasonic Plasmas Rock!

Well, first of all I would choose a plasma over an LCD anyday. I used to have an LCD 1080P, and by far this Plasma Panasonic 720P totally blows it away in both quality sound and picture. Although I do have a suround sound system anyway. A couple of reasons why I prefer plasma over LCD is beacuse a plasma shows both standard channels and HD channels in great quality while an LCD doesn't even come close with standard channels. And also when it comes to a Blu-ray player, standard DVDs are only a hair line difference between a standard DVD and a Blu-ray DVD. Saving you MEGA BUCKS in buying Blu-ray movies. On LCD? Forget it. You'll have to buy a whole new collection of Blu-ray DVDs because standard DVDs on an LCD simply looks Horrible. And even with Blu-ray DVDs, watch out. Even some Blu-ray movies on LCDs look really bad, too grainy like some of thier HD channels look like (like when a picture is over shapened).
When LCD finally catches up to plasma in about 2 or 3 years I may consider buying another one. But until then, plasma is the way to go.
As for no PC input in this Panasonic system, no problem. Just pick yourself up a 'VGA to RCA Component Cable'. This cable allows you to connect your PC monitor to any TV Component input. If you can't find one at your local retail store, try ebay.
The Panasonic 720P is great. And I can just imagine the 1080P. Just a tad bit too expensive for me right now.

I Bought this 42 inch panasonic Plasma because it seemed to have a good picture in the store and all the goods I was looking for in a new HD flat panel.I got it home and decided to take my time and install it on my wall on my brand new house.After drilling holes in my walls to mount it,running all the wires threw the walls to have that clean look I was ready to turn it on set up the proper settings and break it in. After about five min. of the T.V. being turned on Me and my Wife laid back on the bed and started to enjoy a movie that was on and we herd somthing inside the T.V. make a BIG pop sound and the T.V. screen started to bleed away from the lower left corner working its way up to the top right.We were in shock! We were more carfull driving this home and puting it on the wall than our first born child not to bump it too hard and cause damage knowing plasma's can be damaged easy so shocked I am returning this today and never buying a plasma again or a Panasonic item.I am verry glad it broke the first day so I didn't get stuck with a $1200.00 picture fram on my wall.
What's great about it: it had the best reveiws everywhere i looked for a week.
What's not so great: easy to set up,Great looking on my bedroom wall when turned off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my first flat screen purchase. The Panasonic Plasma Picture with an HD signal or DVD is beautiful. It is still pretty good with a regular digital signal as well. I'm not an audiophile but I think the sound is better than my not so old 32" tube TV. The sound to my wireless headphones is excellent so it would probably be very good with a theater system. The menues are easy to manuever and set up was a snap. I had it out of the box, attached to it's stand, cable, DVD, and wireless headphones hooked up properly in about an hour. I bought it for a Super Bowl party and everyone gathered around this TV even though I had 3 others going. By the end of the night is was the only TV on. Great, great purchase!
What's great about it: Great Picture, Easy Installation and Setup, Great Price
What's not so great: Staying up too late watching HD channels

What's great about it: Not only shows a great clear picture but the sound is just as clear

We are really happy with our new 42" Plasma. The colors are so much more brilliant than our last television. The price was very reasonable. The sound is great as well even with no stereo system connected. The screen is a little 'grainy' without HDTV connection. But even without this product the picture far outweighs our prior television products. We are long-time customers of Panasonic products and have been very happy with all our Panasonic products. They have great longevity and the quality lasts throughout the maturity of the products we've owned.
What's great about it: Colors are outstanding
What's not so great: Must have HDTV connection to experience its full capacity.

I did my research before buying my TV and this one had the clearest most brilliant color of plasmas I reviewed. I have had it for a year now and haven't had a single problem. Since getting blu-ray, HDTV and a BOSE sound system, my house has a better system than our local theater. Why leave the house?

Did a ton of research and comparrison shopping before buying this TV. Came to the conclusion that unless I was willing to spend $2,000 or more on a high end LCD this was going to give me the best picture for the money. At $1,099 I am more than happy. Watched a couple of Hockey games over the weekend and they looked great.
What's great about it: Sports look good
What's not so great: non HD channels aren't great (knew this going in)

I bought this TV for my Master Bedroom where there is plenty of light in the mornings and during the day. However, this TV is fantastic! There is no angle of the sun that can block out the sharpness, brightness, and clarity of the TV. At night, the TV does its best. You can customize the color settings per input source; so, I set mine up to "cinema" for the DVD input, and "cool" for the Dish input.
If you have more than two HDMI Inputs--I only have DishHD and DVD--, then you will need to get an HDMI switcher. Otherwise, you can just use the Component Inputs since the TV doesn't support 1080p anyways.
Also, no fear, you can watch all 1080i videos with no issues. Don't let the 720p bit fool you...
