In my living room, I really like this display, and I would be more than happy with it for years to come. HD programming looks spectacular, SD is acceptable, pixel-perfect images with my HTPC, good black levels and bright enough to use on Sunday...

I recommend the PZ77U and I have recommended it to a few people I know, but I wouldn’t call it a product of the year or exceptional value for the money. It could use another HDMI port (maybe on the side), better user based calibration options, and a...

Excellent picture quality, stylish design, anti-glare coating diffuses reflections without sacrificing picture sharpness (light on the screen looks like it does on an LCD with no glass coating). Hook this up to a blu-ray player! Unbelievable

Mine shipped with a faulty board that caused a green 1" wide bar to display intermittently. Optical audio out doesn't pass Dolby Digital from HDMI ; instead it's downmixed to LPCM 2.0, so if you have your PS3 or Xbox hooked up via HDMI and have the TV...

As everyone else has said, this is just a beautiful television with a HD picture that has great depth, vivid colors, and black blacks. I've had it for almost two months with no problems at all. Be warned though, it is heavy - you'll need two people to...

Have not found any yet. You get use to the second or so it takes when you turn it on.

Superb picture, very deep blacks. Even hooked up to analog cable (no cable box in this room) I get some of the HD channels, mostly network TV like NBC, ABC, CBS, and they all look great. The TV detected them no problem.

It's annoying trying to get movies in very wide formats to take up the whole screen (2.35:1 anamorphic). There is a manual adjustment for the "zoom" aspect mode (which chops off the sides and attempts to chop off the black bars), but it only adjusts...

Picture quality is fantastic. I like the quick set up features it offers. It's easy to navigate through the menu and is is very user friendly. Delivery was four days early to my surprise. Only one AIT guy, but I had already planned on having extra help.

Full HD @ 1080p! Amazing picture quality! Right out of the box, this plasma had a great picture, colors looked natural. The piano black finish makes this plasma look really slick! Looks just as good off as it does on! Speakers on this plasma seem to be...

Only 2 HDMI inputs. Not an issue for me since i'm going to get a receiver that will have at least 3 HDMI inputs. In general plasmas are heavy and run hot.

Picture quality excellent

Remote responsiveness not so good

the picture on this thing is something to see it take a good 2 hours to watch, just to realize how good the picture is! I have HD satellite and this works perfect for the stuff we like to watch. I had no problem with AIT and the shipping except that...

it could have used one more HDMI
