STUNNING PICTURE!

This model appears to be the same as the TH42PZ85U and was purchased from COSTCO. Ever since purchasing a Panasonic SD9 high definition video camera I have been wishing to upgrade my TV to the HD format. After looking at many LCD and Plasma televisions I found myself drawn to the Panasonic Plasma HDTV. After a six month wait I took the plung and purchased the 42" Panasonic 1080p HD set. I haven't used it for regular television broadcasts yet, but have set it up to play my Blu-ray player(also a Panasonic), an HD player and a DVD recorder. The footage that I have shot with the Panasonic HD camera is nothing short of STUNNING on this set! Watching this footage reminds of the days of 70mm presentations in movie theatres when we saw stunning images from films like "Lawrence of Arabia", "The Sound of Music", "West Side Story", etc. The Blu-ray, HD and HD video all have incredible color, brightness and sharpness. The Panasonic Plasma was not difficult to set up and I'm am very pleased with my purchase. Highly recommended!

Spectacular TV

This TV has the best picture I've ever seen on a TV. Everyone who comes over and sees it says the same thing, even on the standard channels. The HD through Direct TV is like nothing I've ever seen. Even just a standard DVD looks awesome. I highly recommend this set!

Great Product , Great Service from Amazon

Bought this product from Amazon after returning a crappy craapy Samsung 5064 50" plasma. Couldn't be happier with my decision. With Samsung; I'd get a bad feeling everytime I turned the TV on that I wont work and you know what ...one day it actually didn't. Luckily that all happened withint 30 days so before I had to deal with more of Samsung's D grade horrible customer service, Amazon came to my rescue and I swapped it with this Panny 77U . Its a great TV, picture is stunningly clear, the speakers are very good. The SD also isnt bad at all , it looks a little strecthed (cuz i see it full screen to avoid any burn in) but its pretty good. I get a 1080i signal and with some adjustments , I have no complains about the picture whatsoever. It is also not as warm as Samsung. Just one thing I wish it had was more picture controls like gamma correction or something like that cuz i wish I can get a little more brighter picture , not that its bad but sometimes its nice to have brighter piture without maxing out the contrast and picture settings. But all in all 5 stars for the TV and 6 stars to Amazon for their great customer service and white glove delivery which is amazingly fast , efficient and curteous.

Just what I expected

I spent alot of time looking at hundreds of different plasmas and lcds, every time I looked at a different tv I always came back to this model. I love the anti-glare and it works great for my PS3 and blueray movies. Its perfect in blueray. For the price the 720P was the better choice for me. I have had this tv for almost a year now and have had no problems. Everyone that comes over thinks it is awesome, I can't be happier with this set.

WOW..WOW..WOW

Have had this window on the world for 8 months now and I must say I can't watch any of my other sets (non HD) anymore. Have it connected to Direct TV HD and it is wonderful. Was able to watch the Masters golf tourney for the first time on HD and it was like I had never seen it before even though I watch every year. The detail and sharpness is just awesome. Direct TV supplies all the cables so no need to purchase those. Just get it, you will enjoy TV like never before!

Excellent value

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.

Died too young

Buyer beware! I bought the Panasonic TH-42PX80U in October 2008. The picture was great and I loved it. Nineteen months later, the set died. Just like that, dead as a rock. Apparently the power supply has gone out and the estimates to fix are more than the cost of a new one. Panasonic has been NO help whatsoever. The manufacturer's warranty expired after one year and they made it clear they will not allow any leeway. Buy one if you feel like gambling, otherwise stay away from Panasonic and their horrible product support.

Great easy LCD television

Between work, home and for my parents I have purchased four of these Panasonics. They have a good quality image and easy to use and connect. The SD card player is super slow so don't buy it for that (we rarely use it) and the iPod connector seems cool but we've never used it. Remote control is good and easy, my 70's parents can easily navigate. It get's surprisingly great reception of free broadcast HD Television signal from an antenna, DVD's and Blu-rays look great also. It's a simple 720 HD TV for reasonable price and gives superior image to others out there.

Good while it lasted

I've had this tv for about a year and a half. It just died. Panasonic doesn't have enough of the part I need so I've been waiting on a back-order for over three weeks. Boo Panasonic!

1. 1920 x 1080
2. Amazingly Vivid color reproduction
3. LiFi lamp technology ensures high performance
4. Modern design to enhance any living room environment
5. GalleryPlayer Capable

Editorial Review :

Introducing the world's first consumer television with the innovative LiFi¿ light source. LiFi stands for LIght FIdelity. This is a brand-new way to achieve long light source life, quick start-up time and high color fidelity for projection displays. Unlike conventional LCD projection TVs, the LiFi light source lasts so long it might never need to be changed. The High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps used in conventional LCD projection TVs contain electrodes that deteriorate, causing diminished brightness and possible damage to the lamp itself. LiFi does not utilize electrodes, which helps achieve more stable performance and a long lifespan. The light source in Panasonic LiFi HDTVs offers full spectrum illumination that faithfully reproduces brilliant red, emerald green and natural skin tones. Whether you're watching hidden camera footage of rare Amazon Forest dwellers or taking in the local newscast, the lifelike color is a bright, beautiful enhancement to your HDTV experience.The LiFi lamp is an advancement in technology that offers advantages that you can see and hear - or not, in the case of scintillation noise. HID lamps generate noise, especially at high brightness levels. You won't hear the hum with the LiFi because it operates at lower wavelengths. Plus, because the small LiFi bulb heats up quickly when you power up, the start-up time of the HDTV is as low as 10 seconds. Once your HDTV is ready to watch, there's no flicker, as with some LCD TVs.Everything about the LiFi HDTV is designed to bring you to a new level of viewing pleasure. The amazing colors are boosted by the floating feeling provided by the flat panel design, and the audio is rendered more lifelike by the invisible speakers that help fuse picture and sound.

Great TV

I've had this TV for about 10 months now and I still can't believe how good the picture is when I'm watching high def sports! I traded in a Mits 65" for this one after a week of listening to a very noisy unit. Color wheel, cooling fan, all makes for a lot of noise. Noise that THIS set doesn't make. Another advantage over the Mits is that if I'm moving around the room or I have a lot of people over, we can see the picture pretty well at an angle. If you weren't dead center to the Mits, you couldn't see the picture at all. Here is my review of the unit, http://www.amazon.com/Mitsubishi-WD-65734-65-Inch-1080p-HDTV/dp/B000RIWEN6/ref=cm_cr-mr-title where I get slammed for slamming it! But frankly this is a better tv to my eyes. Do take into cosideration that I rarely watch movies, I bought this to watch football and hockey. So some reviews that go on about the blacks appearing grey...well I don't notice that. Looks like the LIFI is a winner!

Guys this TV is the Future!

Guys I bought this thing in Jan, and I have just now hooked it up and got the ball running. People this TV picture is Outstanding! Period! I mean I had like 15 people over come over and each and every one said this was the best picture they had seen all hands down. I love this Tv and backed with a 5yr warranty you can't go wrong. Panasonic says this bulb may never have to be changed. Wow! Sad news though guys this model will soon be phased out. Why because Panasonic is moving towards an all LCD Model trend. But hey LIFI will still be used so the way I look at are that when I want to by another one of these puppies it will definitly be LCD. Great Tv, Good Buy and a sure must have!

Great picture, while it lasts!

I had bought this TV just over 3 years ago. Picture quality was great, but the sound is a bit low, especially anything hooked up through the HDMI ports. Also, you need to be a USMC sharpshooter to hit the right spot for the remote to work.
Problem is, our first service call was within a few months of purchase...no problem, it's under warranty still. Well, then there was another, still under warranty. Now, at year 3, the warranty is up and my 3rd service call technician just informed me that the OPT/TV unit has to be replaced, which would cost almost $2000 to fix! While I don't expect an item to last forever, for the amount of money this cost, I would expect more than 3 years.

A GREAT HDTV!

Big picture, big sound. It's already amazing by itself, but once it's connected to a PS3 and a Home Theater with HDMI cables, it can't be beat... not to mention that it's only about 70lbs!
