TV was in stock & arrived within a week from East coast to West coast. Delivered to room. Would do this again anytime

The TV is great and we are very happy with the overall TV. Please please do not buy from this company. They do not reply to emails until you get mad and the trucking company they use should not be in business. We were told the TV would be deliver between 1:00 and 5:00. At 11:00 they arrived at our house and since we were not home just they wanted to come back the next day.

This is an awesome TV. Was first deciding between plasma and LCD. Went for plasma, as the picture quality is much better - moving images, better black tones - and you can go for 58+ inches. Then my choice was between this Panasonic and Pioneer Kuro 60. When comparing the two TVs side by side at a store, I could not really tell a difference (well, apart from the price tag, $1600 in favor of the Panasonic). Have had the TV for 4 moths now - love it. Highly recommend it.

I highly recommend this TV. Delivered ahead of schedule by the shipping company. Zero problems with delivery or install. The TV is outstanding. Humans appear to be life size. Quality is excellent, real easy to setup. Love it!

This TV Is simply stunning. Prepare to be slack jawed for quite some time. For those of you wanting to get film quality image reproduction out of this unit try the following settings. Give it one day after making the adjustments so your eyes can adjust to the change. The realism from these settings will produce images so lifelike that it will take your breath away. The following figures contains the picture settings for the TH-58PZ700U after its ISF calibration. I highly suggest that you use these settings if you purchase or own this television. By configuring the television to the below settings I was able to get the color temperature to D6650K, a substantial improvement over the out-of-the-box measurement of D10000K+. Using the below settings to regulate the color temperature and white balance virtually perfects the picture of the TH-58PZ700U: Panasonic TH-58PZ700U Optimal Picture Settings Picture Mode Standard Picture +22 Brightness +8 Color -1 Tint -4 Sharpness -14 Color Temperature Warm Enhanced Black Level Off Hope this helps some of you.
