"Very nice, but..."
Pros: High contrast, easy to use, nice looking and low glare.
Cons: IR problems, "green ghosting or phoshpor lag" ,remote
Summary: Well, I received this plasma (my first plasma) this week and was horrified to find out about this phenomenon known as phosphor lag or green ghosting. Seems to be common among most plasmas. I got rid om my 52" Sony LCD (W3000) because the motion blur was horrible. Now, I have green flashes when I game on the tv, and have noticed it just a little upon watching Blu Ray. The remote also was a disappointment, with some seemingly commonly used buttons dismissed for newer features that frankly, many will not use (like Viera link). People say the ghosting will reduce over time, I hope they are right but I may not have the unit long enough to find out. Otherwise, I am still in the "break-in period" and have had the unit on for several hours today and it did not seem loud or generate much heat. Also, the inputs were easily accessible and there was a nifty wire management system i have never seen. Being as this is the 2nd TV (the first had an uneven panel issue) I have not taken it off of standard setting. I put the first through the ringer, and I will say the picture looked great and rivaled that of the Sony (still, anyway). After the "break in period" I will know more, and possibly have good news about the ghosting (fingers crossed).

I would return it under warranty. I have the TH50PZ85, and have had no problems whatsoever. I am an imaging professional, so I am typicaly over critcal when it comes to image quality. I have no problems with this set...nadda, zilch. You need to return it.
