Panasonic TH-58PZ750U 58" 1080p plasma HDTV

built-in QAM cable TV tuner receives unscrambled programs without a set-top box (cable service required) * 1920 x 1080 pixels * 5000:1 contrast ratio * 3 HDMI v1.3 (2 rear, 1 front) -- accepts signals up to 1080p *

When installed and connected to a DirecTV Receiver (HR-20 700 HD-DVR): The top showed a jagged white line when set to the "Aspect" called "Full" - The ONLY ASPECT choice to look at the picture witout distortion. Changed from HDMI to Component with no results. Finally changed the DirecTV receiver with the identical HR-20 from another room. It worked -- FOR A WHILE, Then the white staggared white line at the toP re-appeared. The next morning,TODAY, I turned THE TV on and the jagged white line is gone - so far. It has worked for 8 hours without the white line at the top. I don't know what to make of this but I have a 30 days reurn policy from Ultimate Electronics in Denver. They have been cooperativE - so far. Anyone have any comments?

I've had the 58" set up and running for a couple of weeks and could not be any happier. All the good things you've read about it are true. It's big, it's heavy, and it is the best plasma on the market. I had a hard choice between this plasma TV and the XBR5 Sony LCD. Either would have been great. I'm glad I went with the larger plasma, no regrets. I watch a lot of sports and movies, and this one is the best. One of the main reasons I choose this Panasonic over other TV's, is a feature that the manufacturers don't also talk about, but I feel is extremely important. That is the 'finish' on the TV's screen, gloss or matte. The gloss finish on most plasmas is real bad, and you can be distracted by objects relected on the screen. The matte finish on most LCD's is great. This Panasonic is somewhere in the middle, and very acceptable.I understand that the 2008 model of their 58" plasma is even more matte. I would not have waited any longer when I bought this TH-58PZ50U model, it is fantastic. Buy one or two!

Outstanding Picture. The only word that comes to mind is 3D. I feel like I can each into it and grab the Empire State Building at the opening of the local news. I traded up from a Fujitsu 50" Plasma that I felt was an excellent TV but this blows it away. So now not to get into a lot of technical stuff, buy this and you get an very impressive looking TV, a picture that would cost you 2K plus extra to beat and that is even a "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing. All the features you would ever want in a TV including an SD slot for viewing your photos right out of your camera, and at least in the case of VANNS (the retailer that shipped mine) you get high line excellent service all the way. This purchase was probably one of the best I've made in years

I have had this TV set up for a couple months and have to say it is absolutely stunning. For my money the best sets are either the Panasonic or the Pioneer. In side by side comparisons, the Pioneer was a superior set. The pioneer was also more than $2000 more money. For the savings I was able to upgrade my audio system to play the latest sound formats. The Panasonic is definately the better value. Vann's shipped the TV the next day and it took a little more than a week to get to my house. Very happy with the purchase.

This TV is awesome. Picture quality, brightness, viewing angle and resolution cannot be beat. HD (now defunct) & Blu-Ray & XBox360 via HDMI are tops. I didn't know what I was missing... until now.
