"Incredible Picture! and a stunning array of color"
Pros: Deep blacks, vibrant color, impressive speakers
Cons: Price. Pro settings are geared more for the professional installer
Summary: Panasonic has done a very nice job of maintaining a quality product in their flagship plasma line, and the TH58PZ750U does not disappoint. I'm sure a Blue-Ray or HD-DVD player would knock my socks off with the picture quality, but I'm waiting a little while longer before I decide on one. In the meantime, I have a Panasonic up-conversion DVD player to view my DVD library and the picture is still quite good.
HD channels come through impressively on this plasma and are a joy to watch. Standard analog channels are not as bad as I thought they would appear. Previously in older models the analog broadcasts were only best viewed in 4:3 aspect ratio, and appeared "pasty" in resolution. This current 1080p line has made noticeable improvements in handling this dilemma.
Overall the colors are amazing to watch, vibrant but not overly saturated, blacks are rich and deep with plenty of detail. Panasonic recommends a 100 hour break-in period with the picture setting on standard to 0, but once that period is past I set the picture setting to vibrant and have been very pleased with the results.
