I bought this TV last spring and paid $1600, something I'd said I'd never do. Brought it home and set it up and was a little stunned to find out that I needed to upgrade my DirectTV receiver to HD. After all was said and done, it truly is the best thing I've ever purchased. I talked to 2 different salesmen from 2 different major dept. store chains when I was looking. I was set on the LCD from what I had heard. After the "spiel", I asked both salesmen what they owned and they both said "plasma". They explained some stuff about the rate of speed that is captured with the plasma and that they both notice the LCD streaking at times of high action in sporting events. They also did warn me about reflection issues with the plasma and they were right. I have a window at the back of the room on the south side of the house and when the sun shines in, I have to shut the curtains. If I look close (really, really close), I can see the lights in the room reflect off the glass like screen, but the outstanding picture and contrast make it a non-issue for me. I used to occasionally check in to catch the scores of the MN Twins games with my 34 inch Toshiba, now I look forward to coming home and watching the entire games. I'm still paying off the credit card, but haven't sent in a payment yet that hasn't brought satisfaction to mind. I'm salivating waiting for Football season! It's really a great TV....

This tv was at least $500 more at the traditional stores (Best Buy, Ultimate Electronics...). We bought it with free shipping and it was delivered by two people with in just a few days of us ordering. It is a great TV!! Beautiful picture!!
By Randi J. Countryman
This plasma tv looks awesome mounted on the wall in my gaming/ chilling area! Xbox 360 looks perfect on it and i sometimes hook my overclocked beast of a PC to it (via DVI-HDMI or HDMI-HDMI cable) and max out the eye candy, and let me tell you...ITS UNREAL! Of course HDTV looks great on it...ok..Everything looks great on it! Make sure you get a surround sound audio system to use with this.
By Handy Man (Falls Chruch, VA)
Excellent performing plasma. Has nice hook up and card slots. The built in speakers will get you buy until you get a surround system.
We watch fast actions sports/movies and this plasma does a great job following the action without shadows or pixelization. This made it an easy choice over any LCD.
By C. Burns (US)
I was watching TV when the power just shut off, and now it won't turn back on. The TV is about 2 years old, so it isn't covered by warranty. After doing some research online it appears I'm not the only one with this problem.

Yes, I know this is supposed to be for 800U's and mines a 700U but the point is that they are basically the same and i need to vent. I referenced consumer reports and at the time the 700U was the cream of the crop. I will agree, it is a very nice unit. the sound produced from the tv speakers are very impressive. (surround system hadnt been hooked up yet). its all for not as this TV was purchased 2 years ago and now its gone black. so yes, this tv is a great tv....its RELIABILITY on the other hand is NOT!!!!! you know, you get these reviews and such, when they are new tv's, they're ALL nice tv's but i guess when it comes down to it, its about reliability as well. i have had CRT tv's last for over 20 years. this is pathetic. a $2300 unit only lasts 2 years. i have since read reviews with similar problems with these panasonics. the repair guy told me that there was a class action suit and that panasonic has extended the warranties on 42" plasmas. any lawyers out there want to see what we can do for the 50"ers. picture and function great.......while it lasts.
By lgh5000 (Southern Colorado)
I did a lot of research, and decided to go with this TV. I haven't been sorry! The picture is so clear - it's absolutely amazing watching sports. And it makes me feel good that a year after my purchase, I have yet to see someone else with a better picture! I ordered from amazon, and am so happy with the price and service. Thank you!
By R.Henry (Bronx, NY USA)
I've owned this panel for over a year now and I couldn't be happier although I have one minor peeve. I just purchased my first blu-ray player and there is no way to label an input blu-ray. Also I'd like to add I've played several discs at 1080p/24 and found none of the flickering problems mentioned by other reviewers. (Oppo BDP-83). If I get the 100,000 hrs quoted for the half life I'll be one happy camper.
By Christopher J. Shaker (Bend, OR United States)
If I had rated this TV a few days ago, it would have gotten five stars. However, it just died the other night while my wife and I were watching TV on it. It made a 'pop', and the picture went away.
I tried disconnecting the power, and turning it back on. It blinks the red LED ten times, waits, then repeats. Looks like an error code to me.
It was a great TV before it died. It died about two months after the one year warranty ran out.
Chris Shaker
Update 2009-10-27: Got a call from Panasonic today, and they are going to cover the full cost of replacing the plasma display. Turns out the plasma display had a two year warrantee, even though the TV itself only had a one year warrantee. Thank you Panasonic!
By K. Brown (Lincoln City, OR USA)
We got the TV in January. I just now tore myself away from it long enough to review it.
We bought a Disney (blu-ray) movie with a travelogue feature of the grand canyon included - loking at the feature, on the TV was like looking through a window. - even standing way too close to the screen.

I purchased the Panasonic 58" Viera a few weeks ago. It is an amazing tv with a great picture. We still haven't hooked up the Viera on-line services yet (mainly because it requires a ethernet connetion instead of the USB wireless connection that I purchased for it). The only negative things that I would say is (1) it is more reflective than it should be, (2) the stand sticks out a good 8 in front of the TV, and (3) the internet connection should be available via ethernet or USB 2.0 connections (the lack of a USB limits hooking up a lot of things). Otherwise, it is an amazing TV.
By H. Chan (Morgan Hill, CA United States)
I've owned this TV for a little less than 2 weeks. Overall i'm very pleased with my purchase. Installation and setup was easy. I'm using this TV with a Dish Network HD DVR receiver. I've also connected an ethernet connection and a standard definition DVD player. Picture quality is excellent. I'm using the "Vivid" setting, but sometimes use the "Standard" setting for casual viewing to save energy, etc. (not sure how much it really saves though ...). Prior to purchase i was considering this model and the 58PZ800U. I elected to purchase this model because of its Viera Cast capability (i.e., the ethernet IPTV connection). The only disappointment so far is that Viera Cast on this TV does not contain Amazon Video on Demand. I've checked various websites and called Panasonic support and it's not certain whether Amazon VOD will be implemented on this TV via a software update. If that is true, I would recommend to other buyers who are considering this model versus the 800U to go with the latter and if they are interested in the Viera Cast capability, to simply purchase a Panasonic Blu Ray player with Viera Cast.
By Seans Pen (Brooklyn, New York)
So much has already been said about this amazing Plasma so I won't waste words here. After months of research this loyal Sony owner jumped ship.After side by side comparisons and reading countless reviews I determined that the Viera blew the Sony XBR away. The Kuros by Pioneer has priced itself out of the competition for my wallet and to be honest I think you are splitting hairs between the Viera and the Kuros.My dilemna was in choosing between the 58 Inch Viera 800 or the flagship 850U. The lesser priced 800 is the only model of the two that gets the THX certification on it's picture and is priced around $500.00 less. The 850U has the firmware and ethernet connection so that it's capabilities are upgradeable.It currrently has the ability to view your Picasa photo's,watch YouTube videos, and a few other neat things like the one click concierge service for any problems the TV should have as well as world weather. The Vera Link option works seamlessly with my Panasonic 55 Blu-Ray player. I was able to have the best of both worlds. Although Abes of Maine consistantly had the 800 at he best price around. I was able to buy a refurbished 850U that comes with the 90 day warranty from Panasonic.I paid $2399.00 and I am so happy I did. This TV is in perfect condition and they pack it like it's the last one on earth. I bought from Just like New Electronics in case you are looking. I'm amazed at this Picture and all the bells ans whistles the TV has. It's has th whole family under it's hypnotic spell.I wanted the cleanest look I could get and replaced my old surround sound system with a Yamaha YSP4000 sound bar. I have no regrets on any of it.By buying the 850U I'm able to stay up to date with all the new ways Panasonic can think of to keep me connected to the world. I love the fact that it has begun to replace my small PC screen and Laptop with 58 inches of mind blowing views. If you can swing it I would not hesitate to buy the 850U. I don't think the lack of THX certification means anything other than Panasonic not wanting to pay the extra money for the Certification in an effort to keep it way under the Kuros.

All,
This is a great tv and I am not going to spend time on different aspects of this tv. Go to [.....] and read full review. However,I would like to report one thing as all buyers who buy Panasonic 850 series with Viera cast feature would need. I do not have Ethernet connection close to where I have installed tv. I have bought Apple Airport Express and configured it with home wireless network successfully. I am sure there are other solutions but this is something I can say with confidence that it works!

Check with CNET and other product reviews before buying. I believe you will find this product highly rated and for a reason. This is perfect in a 20 x 20 room. i an very happy with the product and Panasonic's reputation.
By S_A (Boston, MA USA)
I bought this as a second TV to be used only for gaming. Previously tried several LCD TVs and, IMHO, LCDs the way they are now are simply unacceptable for gaming - too much motion blur.
So far tried it with my PS3 and Xbox 360 - Street Fighter 4 is a joy to play on this TV. Also, I have my PS2 hooked up to it as well and the TV does an excellent job at processing and displaying the (crappy) 480i output of the PS2. I tried several LCD TVs with my PS2 and the results were uniformly awful with huge ugly interlacing artifacts. This TV has them a little, but you really have to look very close to see them and picky as I am, I do not notice them when playing a game.
Overall if you are looking for a gaming TV/monitor, this is the set to get...well, any Panasonic plasma, really.
By S. Keating (Minneapolis, MN)
My TV arrived last week and I bought it from Amazon. First, buying from Amazon is the way to go if you can't find the same price at your local Best Buy or electronics store. Shipping is guaranteed, and it came just 3 business days after I purchased from the distributor. I also got my HD service connected the day it came, so I got to try out the HD immediately.
I had been looking at TV's for over a month, daily, spending hours a week researching LCD v Plasma, different brand names, product lines, and prices. First, figure out LCD v Plasma. Lighting, primary uses, and preference ultimatley determine what you want. Plasma was an easy choice for me as Sports & movies (with my blue ray player) are the primary purposes of my TV and my room is in the basement with no outside sunlight coming in, so glare isn't an issue with my plasma.
This TV is solid. I bought $10, HDMI (1.3 category 2) cables and they produce an excellent picture. Standard protocol for plasmas is to "break them in" to prevent burn-in, which I am doing. They recommend keeping the picture settings on "standard" regular mode for the first 80-100 hours. I have tried turning it up to complete brightness and it looks amazing, but I will continue to break it in on the standard settings for 2-3 weeks. Don't worry about "burn-in" as many store experts I talked said this is a non-issue with plasmas nowadays and Panasonic says these tv's are good for 80-100k hours of viewing which is like 30 years running all the time.
I watched Iron-Man, on my blue ray PS3 player with HDMI Cables, and the picture was indeed stunning. So worth it. I bought this TV for $900 including shipping and if you get it for that or cheaper it is a steal. The TV has a great sleak design, super easy to assemble the stand base, and is nice and light (like 70 lbs).
I don't think you'll go wrong with LCD at all from what I saw of them, but for the movie buff who loves to dim the lights and watch a stunning picture, or the NFL fan who loves a great picture in HD of a good game, this is the TV you want. For the price, you won't find a better quality branded TV than this one. The HD picture I get from my satellite provider is great, and once I can turn up the picture to maximum capabilities I think the TV will be unreal. I've heard cables can have a huge difference, but from what I've read and tested personally, the HDMI cable 1.3 category 2 is just fine and processes the 1080p signal for blue ray and HDTV perfectly. If you buy this TV you will be happy, mark my words.

I bought it 8 months ago. I can't believe the picture and sound. And the size. I am no expert, but I looked at a lot of TVs and read consumer reports. Absolutely enjoy it. I paid 2800 for the 58 inch, it's a lot cheaper now
By Raysworld01 (Michigan)
I've had this set for nearly a year now and i could'nt be more happy with it. The picture quality is outstanding, looks great mounted on my wall, and the price was right. I originally bought a Samsung, 52 inch, 850 series lcd tv which had a very bad clouding issue and also had very weak speakers. I returned it to Amazon and chose this plasma set instead. I tell ya, for those who say plasma tv's are not the way to go anymore are mistaken. The black level's on plasma's are superior to lcd tv's, and in my opinion, they have more of a realistic picture. I am totally satisfied with this tv and im glad i made with switch to plasma. I give it 5 stars.
By JC (New York)
Be wary of Panasonic plasma. I had mine under two years and voltage and dead pixels were apparent. They won't offer an extended warranty either because it is over the time limit!
By B. Peterson (Minneapolis, MN USA)
I read almost all 99 of the reviews on this TV while trying to decide on what to get. I ended up with this 58 in plasma and I couldn't be happier. Not only is the TV great right out of the box, but the box itself was engineered great and this TV is easy to unpack and set up.
I have only had this for 1 week, but it is perfect. Great picture, great sound, plenty of inputs, you will like this TV.
By Jody Rosner
I've had this TV for some time now, so this review is based on some experience. First, I'm still extemely satisified with the TV. Everything is crisp, colors pop without being too fake. I set my settings according to the C-Net review and it's great. I use an OPPO DVD player for upscaling my regular DVDs since nothing else is as good and every review I ever read uses the OPPO as their benchmark for upscaling (for good reason). Takes two people to hang on the wall, but you don't have to be musclemen to do it - it's actually pretty light, just too big for one person to grab hold of.
Bought from the Amazon shop (I personally have had issues ordering electronics from other shops outside the official Amazon shop) and it was delivered white glove. they took it out, set it up, ensured it worked, etc, etc. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this set to anyone. Since the Pioneer Elite Kuro is no longer being manufactured, this is now the TOP in it's field. BTW, just my take, I don't really see any difference between this set and the Kuro except about $3000. :)

I did a bunch of research, not just on line, and settled on this TV and I'm very happy with it. It did fail while under warranty but Panasonic sent a guy out to fix it in a hurry. Well done.
By Robert Hughes (Post Falls, Idaho, USA)
In the old days when you paid a premium for electronic up-grades, your quality increased.
(for example: a diamond stylus on a Panasonic turntable eliminated all hissing; a big Panasonic reel-to-reel tape player out-performed cassette and 8-track tape-players).
Today this is no longer the case:
HD and LCD big screen TVs are steps down in quality!
All picture formats are rotten:
The "4:3" ratio reduces the wide screen display to normal width leaving 1/4 of the sides blank.
"Zoom" cuts off the peripheries -- the tops of heads--and sport box scores.
"Full" squishes everyone fat, squatty and short.
"Just" blows everybody in all directions--everything is stretched out of proportion.
If I want a normal view I go to the bedroom and watch my old Panasonic.
Digital High Definition sound quality has taken a hit, too.
Digital sound breaks up regularly (and I've got cable). Try to listen to classical music on PBS--like "Live at Lincoln Center" and during the quiet passages the digits break and interrupt the whole piece.
I'm a loyal Panasonic buyer.
But within a year I've lost audio on 4 channels, including ABC.
This whole (forced) move to HD is a real bummer.
Maybe the next technological "improvement" will be BH ("Black Hole" TV where the consumer and all his/her money is sucked in and disintegrated.)

One of the caveats about owning an HDTV is that it requires quite a bit of time to tweak picture settings in order to ensure that your TV is giving you the best possible picture. In the proceeding months, I've fiddled with the various settings, like color, contrast, brightness, and even used a THX calibration disc and blue filter glasses in order to calibrate my set for optimal viewing from all of my sources (FiOS, DVD, PS3/Blu-Ray, DVR, Xbox). Overall, I've been quite happy with my Panny.
However, in recent months, I've noticed a very disturbing and annoying trend occuring in my TV: phosphor trails. These are green or blue trails that are left behind a moving object in a high contrast scenario. It occurs, as I understand it, because plasma pixels cannot shift directly from black to white, or vice versa. They have a brief green or blue phase in between. An example of this might be a hockey game that has players with dark jerseys on a white ice background. This scenario is plagued by phosphor trails on my TV. The players leave streaks as they move across the rink. I love hockey, and this is a major issue for me. Another example might be a movie or TV show where a person with light skin is moving through a dark room. This scenario is even worse for me. Light objects on dark background leave horrible green trails and are physically taxing on my eyes. Video games often have high contrast scenarios like this, and this effect is present in many that I own.
Unfortunately, I don't have a video camera capable of accurately depicting this phenomenon. On the cheap point-n-shoot I have, the effect is far worse than it appears in person. Nevertheless, I'm very close to selling my TV, cutting my losses and getting a Samsung LN46A650 LCD. I know that I may just be trading one issue for another, as LCD's have problems of their own, but I've just about had it. If a representative from Panasonic or Amazon is reading this, please contact me, as I would love to remedy this somehow.
