Expressive, Lifelike Creation
The brightness, saturation, contrast and sharpness of colors are finely compensated in each scene. Highly vivid colors are produced with hardly any mutual interference. People's faces are also detected, and skin tones are beautifully corrected to ensure soft, natural complexions. 24p Cinema Smoother analyzes the frames before and after, and generates and inserts three new frames. By displaying images with 96 frames compared to the 24-frame original source, smooth images are produced without the blurring that is typical of movies. With VIERA's wide 178 degree viewing angle, you see clear, vibrant images from every seat in the room. The backlight features a wide transmission aperture that enhances contrast between light and dark and improves response to provide smoother motion images.

I just love this Panasonic! I’ve had a variety of different HDTVs over the years, but this is my first Panasonic, even though it’s the fourth set in the house. I got the Hopper through my job at Dish a few months back, and since it will run full DVR and HD to four TVs, I decided to pick up another set and really get the most use out of it as possible. The Viera is perfect. Best of all, having that fourth TV in the house means no more missed shows due to timer conflicts and that everyone can watch all their shows and their favorite teams in HD! Love it!
Great overall, but... (July 03, 2012)

The shipment was on schedule, the packaging was pretty good enough for item protection. The weight was quite OK, considering I had to lift it up to the 3rd floor post to my major surgery. Out of the box, everything was quite as expected picture audio other setup was straight forward, except...2 out of 4 HDMI ports #2 and #3 and digital audio out dont work at all. Already tried to contact Panasonic still no reply, after confirming with your rep that the items brand new. Overall quality, its smashing as always...yes, its a Panny!!!
