Excellent Quality

by mnmacgeek , Aug 23, 2005
Pros: Excellent blacks, skin tones and colors. Great on screen navigation.
Cons: Speakers are on the bottom. Included base is a bit heavy and tricky to install.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Like many reviews on the internet (CNet, etc.,.) the Panasonic really does stand above the rest when it comes to quality of the picture. The blacks are rich, the skin tones are amazing and the colors all pop. This is why you buy a plasma. Like many...

Not For The Wall

by usacoder , May 30, 2006
Pros: Excellent Picture
Cons: Doesn't work with wall mounters.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Real nice TV but it is not designed to be mounted on the wall or a TV cabinet. It must be used with its own TV stand.
