I have had this tv for close to a year now. I purchased it with amazon's white glove delivery included. The delivery company called to schedule a time, and they actually came out on a Sunday to accommodate my work schedule. The tv is beautiful and has great resolution. The customer service is outstanding. I was a bit challenged hooking up older models of DVD player and VCR and the customer service guy patiently talked me through the connection. There is a very easy to use function to switch to dvd or vcr play. Set up is easy. The only problem I've had (and it's probably that I don't have the connection quite right) is that I have to turn up the volume from the normal 15-20 to 45-55 for dvd play. I am very happy with this tv and highly recommend it.

Not always the first one to jump on the bandwagon, I was definitely leery about spending a bundle of cash on an HD set when my tube TV seemed just fine. This is, of course, until Amazon and other retailers had this baby available earlier this year at a fantastic...unbeatable, really, price.
Now, I warmed to the idea, but again, I need to know what exactly I'm doing with my hard earned cash. I spent countless hours not only deciding the LCD -vs- Plasma -vs- DLP debate (I settled on plasma), but which brand/size/etc I definitely wanted to stick with until the next "latest and greatest" technology craze bites.
I concluded the Panasonic 42" TH-42PX80U was the way to go. Not only do multiple professional reviews give Panasonic props for displaying the truest blacks, but they also produce a plasma which should have the capacity to run approximately 8 hours a day for the next 20 years. For the price compared ot LCD, at the time, it was a no-brainer for me.
So, while I'm not much for opening new credit cards, I did accept Amazons offer to create a credit line for no interest over a period of six months. To sweeten the deal, I also received Amazon's 'White Glove Delivery' service. A1 absolutely fantastic.
Four months with the new TV, and I'm smitten. It looks great and connected nicely with my Denon AV surround receiver. Blue Ray's look great, as do the new episodes of Lost, and as I'm sure it will when the Cubs win the series this year ;-). Can't believe it took me so long to come around and I have absolutely ZERO regrets trusting Panasonic with my television needs.
I should say, I do not use the TV's audio. this is NOT because the sound is poor; its actually outstanding. I just prefer to put my full audio system to use.

Great picture, good sound. Actually, the picture is better than most of the plasma's I have seen for 720p, and I viewed almost everything I could find. All in all, does exactly what I had expected for a good price.

I purchased this product about a year ago. It was easy to set up (the most difficult part was attaching the base to the TV).
I have a Playstation 3 and an Apple TV and everything looks great on this TV.
I've had friends over who own Samsung LCD's and they love the picture of the screen, the black contrast is amazing (I would go online to get the best color settings).
Why go to the movies anymore.

I bought this a couple months ago for under $700. THREE times the price now-what the &!@#%$ gives?

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.

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.)

Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous. HD & SD, Great blacks no trailing. Can't wait to get one for the living room only BIGGER! HA!

When the item was delivered the screen was broken. I was able to purchase a similar TV elswhere brand new for less money

In October, I purchased a Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ85U Plasma Television from Amazon. 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.
