Summary: Panasonic tv from a Video Student's perspective
Review: I don't own this unit, but I use it day in, day out in school. I'm a films student and use this monitor for my editing. The PanaBlack system is the best for your money, Sony should wimper.

Summary: Great features + great picture, + great price = great value
Review: I've owned this TV for about 8 months and have had no problems with it. It is the centerpiece of the home theater system for my apartment and it performs extremely well. The picture is excellent and it has some good extras like dual a/v jacks, s-video, and fixed/variable audio out.

It is those extras that really make this TV a good value. My home theater setup includes a DVD player, VCR, A/V receiver, speakers, and a video game system and I have no problems hooking up all that equipment to run through this TV. It is important to note that if you are going to buy a TV with only 1 set of A/V inputs, if you hook up a DVD player using the S-Video input, you arent going to be able to use a VCR or video game system with your TV unless it also uses S-Video and you run it through an A/V receiver, that's why 2 sets of A/V inputs is almost a requirement for most people.

The menu system is intuitive and easy to use. The remote control simple to use, nothing fancy there. If I had any complaints about it, its that most of the buttons on the remote are similar in feel and size, I like a little variety in the size and feel of buttons on a remote so it is easier to use in the dark. This TV also comes in a different, more expensive model if you want Picture In Picture, but I think PIP is a waste of money.

I've had great experiences with Panasonic TVs, the last one I had lasted for about 12 years before it finally died. This TV has all the good features that you need at a good price.
