The bad: Slightly softer pictures due to outer glass internal reflections, remote not very responsive; limited tweaking options; bulky; still a little pricey.
The bottom line: This flagship Panasonic Viera plasma is just as good as or even better than the Pioneer LX Kuro in many areas and at a far more reasonable asking price, too.

Great TV at a Great Price
Mar 27, 2009Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Price Has Come Down Significantly
Cons: Design
Opinion:
Cant go wrong with this TV if you are looking for a 50' and above.
At S$4,200 with Gifts, Definitely The Best Value for Money in the High-End Category in Singapore at Present
Mar 26, 2009Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Breath Taking Picture Quality watching Batman, The Dark Knight on Blu Ray. Most Powerful Speakers in the 50" Range. Great Picture Quality on Standard Definition TV Broadcast
Cons: Remote Control not responsive, Pictures a Bit Soft (not as glaring as LCD)
Opinion:
Manage to pick this up at the Singapore IT Show on March 13th 2009. Got a great deal. Paid SGD $4,200 and came with free S$200 Taka Voucher, a free Pana Blu Ray player BD30, 3 years warranty, a free Chronograph watch worth $200+, free wall bracket and installation of wall mount, free delivery, and the best part; interest free installment by American Express or any credit card of one's choice (without surcharge). Bought from Best Denki (the dealer at the show).
Without doubt, at the price of S$4,200 with free gifts, this offers the best value for money in the high end category 50' and above relative to Pioneer KRP 500a (S$5,999 without free gifts or S$6,999 with free gifts) or the Samsung ranges of LCDs (52' 650 and 750 range at $5200 - S$5800 without free gifts).
Extremely delighted with the purchase. Would highly recommend this TV to anyone looking for the best picture quality ... Read more
"This is what i am looking for my Plasma Full HDTV!"
Dec 27, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Swivel stand, Brilliant color reproduction, Good black level, Beautiful design
Cons: Intelligent Frame Creation is a waste feature, remote control is not responsive, dusty magnet, hard to do picture callibration
Opinion:
I am from Indonesia. Yes, i bought it and not regret it at all. This is the best buy i did this year!
I do agree with Philip Wong review.
I just want to add note to two things:
1. Intelligent Frame Creation is a waste feature as it for me. I do believe that feature meant to smooth picture movement but it make it ugly and not natural. IMO, you better turn off this waste feature. or maybe anyone has different idea?
2. I don't know how to set picture calibration (RGB, Hue, etc). I cannot find it on menu. But i do find standard calibration like brightness, color, sharpness, etc.
