Awesome HD setby mjbaloga - July 20, 2005
Pros: Brilliant picture, feature rich, Xbox HDTV support, lots of inputs/outputs, HDMI
Cons: This TV weights over 100lbs so don't plan on moving it around a lot.
Review:
This television is by far the best i've ever owned. The clarity of DVD video and Xbox games in HD are simply amazing. The clearest picture i've seen on a tube so far. Satellite looks pretty good too but it is not digital so i did not expect it to look at good as DVD playback and the Xbox. The only drawback of this TV that i can see so far since purchasing it is the weight - it is over 100lbs and front heavy. If you intend on moving it or setting up the TV yourself, be prepared.
Overall, for the price we paid ($649.00 new) i don't think we could have anything better. The Sony's were nice but much more expensive and the picture on both looked very similar in the stores.
If you purchase this TV, the quality of of the picture and all of the features it offers will not dissapoint you.

Best price compared to thin tech!by - January 12, 2005
Pros: Clarity and color is excellent. Right up there in the 32" format. Couldn't find any better....superior HDTV surround sound and picture. We would recommend this television without question for anyone to buy.
Cons: This is a heavy piece...166-to 186 pounds depending on what packing slip you might believe. Sorting out the type of contrast and picture you want when you have HDTV cable connections takes a little doing.

Best Panasonic I've ownedby - September 1, 2004
Pros: Excellent picture even w/o HDTV hookup, Plenty of inputs and excellent sound.Excellent value.
Cons: Fair manual. Doesn't explain some of the features very well. What is HDMF and what other components use it. Even the Pan. web site doesn't discuss it. Also it makes a couple of loud snapping sounds when turned on. I believe it has something to do with it
