Not Yet Qualified

At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.

This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 18, 2008 Type: User Review Superb Plasma HD

I have had this TV for about three months now and I have nothing but great things to say about it. The picture quality is amazing especially using a DB2 antenna to get local digital channels. The side speakers produce very good sound quality....

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 16, 2008 Type: User Review Excellent TV- Great shipping exprience

I received my TV a little over a week ago; the price on Amazon was highly competitive, and even lower than a Panasonic employee plan that I have access to through work. All of the reviews already posted here accurately capture its performance...

I bought this set as a second display in my gaming room at a terrific price. I already own the Sony 55" SXRD rear projection set, which is my reference. However, this set provides about 90% of the picture of the Sony for 60% of the price. I saw no

PLEASE NOTE THIS REVIEW IS A CRITIQUE OF PANASONIC AND THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES MORE THAN IT IS OF THE QUALITY OF THE ACTUAL TV. We selected this model because it is by all accounts one of the best choices for a 720 plasma of its size. I placed an o

I'm sitting in front of my new Panasonic plasma TV, and I'm not sure I'll ever move off of this couch. I'm so pleased with the picture quality, and I'm very pleasantly surprised at how good the sound is. This purchase was a long time coming, as I...

Since the settings can't be adjusted for the buzzing sound, I can only give this average rating, if they ever fix this issue (not just my set) then they are worth a buy.

PROS: The set has above average color and depth. The price is right. Antiglare is very nice.
CONS: The buzzing sound. I've read a few articles about the buzzing sound from Panasonic, but it is really annoying. Any bright scene produces a high pitch buzz fromt he back of the set.

I bought this set through Costco (it was cheaper so look around). I actually have the TH-42PC77U which is the same set but with an anti-glare screen. Depending on where you're putting it you might want to spend the extra $100.
I was a little...

I got a great deal on this set for 799.99 on Black Friday 11/23/2007. I had it for almost three weeks now and it has exceeded my expectations! I went with plasma instead of LCD because of the better viewing angle. Since this set had antiglare coating
