Great TV

I've been struggling with what TV to buy for our home theater system. I narrowed it down to this TV, the Pioneer 60" KURO, or the Samsung 57" LN-T5781F. We really liked the Samsung, the 500,000:1 contrast ratio really makes that TV pop; however it was a bit more than I wanted to spend. We finally settled on this TV from Best Buy after Best Buy price matched Amazon and threw in some extras. The TV is a pain to get home if you're not using Best Buy home delivery. It wouldn't fit in our Tahoe so we had to get a trailer to drive it home. Once we got home, I had to get help to move it since its a bit heavy (it weighs 180 pounds and the box is awkward to carry). I paired this TV with a Denon AVR-2308CI receiver and watched a couple movies to test it out. The TV looks absolutely fantastic in our home theater area.

Panasonic 65" Plasma Exceeds Expectations

This TV has met or exceeded all expectations for a beautiful picture. I run the sound through my home theater system, so cannot comment on that. Vann's beat their delivery commitment by several days right before X-mas, so that was good. The TV is very heavy, so be careful to mount it where you want it the first time.

Great Plasma

I have had this TV for three weeks now and it is amazing. It has an excellent refresh rate and the picture is great. One warning, you really do notice the difference between regular tv and HD tv. It is also easy to tell the difference between differing HD recordings (some are better than others) and something that has been upcoded. When it is in HD it is amazing. It works well with a Playstation 3 both on movies and games. The PS3 is probably not the best player for movies, though. The SD card slot is a plus and the pictures look great on the big screen. It also can be used as a computer monitor and does a good job as such. In short, a great product. I will update this if any negatives worth noting develop. Only two complaints - one is the price. It is still pretty pricey but that is related to its size. Second - weight. It is a bear. It took three people to mount it on the wall so keep that in mind if you are looking to move it around.
