After weeks of research online and in stores, we finally purchased this TV. I was a little apprehensive about buying it online, but all the other reviews about Amazon's delivery were right on. I would have had it less than 7 days after purchase, but the delivery people were actually too fast as I was trying to time their delivery with the TV technician's appointment to upgrade to HD.
We researched plasma vs LCD and finally picked plasma. The "drawbacks" of plasma (screen glare, not bright enough, burn in" arent a factor. We have our TV in a room with a large bay window; we dont notice any more glare than with our old tube TV and it is quite bright enough. Also, the Panasonic has multiple features to prevent and eliminate "burn in". I really wanted plasma for the fast motion and dark blacks, movies, etc. So far I have been more than satisfied. We watched some LCDs in the store and some of the shows just looked "fake" because the picture was so bright (though that could have been the store's settings).
If this TV is even on your short list, dont feel bad about getting it. The price on Amazon was the cheapest we saw. It has some great features and is a great size (dont even bother with 42" - you will be sorry.) We could have gone up to 50" but the trade off for size vs price was right for this TV. I was a little apprehensive after reading the reviews on Cnet regarding the colors and some of the controls, but I havent even adjusted anything yet and the colors look fine to me right out of the box. I will probably work on tweaking it later, but am very happy with it right now. To the normal, average viewer it looks great.
I highly recommend this TV and am very pleased after weeks of research!!
