What's great about it: price
What's not so great: remote
Pros: Great picture and sound, just the right size for us. 600Hz means no blurring of fast action. Like the low profile pedestal (it sits on an electric fireplace-stand). Not too heavy (60#?). Easy setup. Got free delivery normally $70 - not available in stores and nearest is 40 miles.
Cons: Don't like the remote control buttons/feel.
Best Uses: Sports, Movies

What's great about it: Picture quality
What's not so great: Sound... very tinny
I did a lot of research before buying... and decided on this TV. The picture is wonderful, vibrant colors. The colors seem true to life. I chose the plasma because it's noted to be good in dim rooms, but sunlit rooms doesn't seem to effect the picture much (it doesn't wash it out). Another reason, I watch a lot of auto racing and it's wonderful for that too... no blurring of the cars as the race by. An finally, our seating arrangement, the picture is just the same looking straight on as it is to the side. You can stand right next to the TV, look sideways and it doesn't effect the picture.
The only downfall of the TV is the sound system. It's tinny sounding. I'm guessing most people have sound systems already, so this might not be as big of problem. We didn't and it was. Finally went out an bought a sound bar. That works fine (although wish it had a volume over 40... but that's another review).
The only thing that could've made it better was to have more of a squared screen rather than the long one... I recommend this to anyone looking for a TV.

What's great about it: Picture quality, HDMI, pretty good sound
What's not so great: There are thee HDMI jacks, one more would be perfect.
Sometimes being an early adopter isn't a good thing. I replaced a very early HDTV from another manufacturer with the Panasonic TC-P46S2 and it is like discovering HDTV all over again.
First, the price of this 46 inch television is a fraction of what I paid for a smaller HD set years ago. The picture quality has improved significantly, the anti-reflective coating makes a difference in cutting reflections in our family room, and this is the first television I've owned in years that produces acceptable sound on its own.
Our family room has seating in an arc of about 150 degrees. The room has lots of windows and can get rather bright. Our older plasma set suffered from lots of reflections. When shopping for the replacement, I did consider LCD sets even though we would make some seating sacrifices. When I saw what Panasonic's anti-reflective coating could do though, I was hooked. The result in our family room is evey bit as good as in the Best Buy showroom.
I love having HDMI jacks. My old set had none and what a difference this makes for ease of setup. The Panasonic even automaticaly swtiched inputs between the my settop box and my DVD player. The default display settings are very good. I may make a tweak or two over time, but I really would not need to.
People who have purchased HDTVs within the last few years probably already knew and have experienced the delights I have had with my new Panasonic.
I would recommend this to a friend!
