"There is simply such a lot to like concerning this TV.My last TV was a 32 in. Magnavox LCD. image was exceptionally bright, however HD channels looked nice connected via element cable. for a few reason, HDMI wouldn't work with my cable box which TV. whereas image was bright, darker colours left abundant to be desired.I ordered this TV and got it in two days. I must say, i used to be pleasantly suprised by the freight carrier, Pilot. they really arrived sooner than my stated time, ehich discovered well as a result of i used to be home. The box had not a mark on it. once I get packages from UPS or FedEx, it's like they've played soccer with the packages. The box was in glorious condition. The delivery guy carried it by himeself on his shoulder up to my apartment.It took perhaps concerning 1/2 hour to unpackage and originated, and connect my cables. Though it's urged to try and do this with a helper, i used to be ready to place along and raise myself. it absolutely was a little on the significant aspect, however it absolutely was not too troublesome to try and do alone.I was thrilled once I turned on the set. the image is crystal clear, and dark colours look glorious on this screen. HD appearance awesome.Since I bought the package, I got the two pair of glasses, the two BluRay 3D discs and also the 3D blu ray player. 3D on this set appearance completely breathtaking. I even have variety of 3D blu ray titles, and are watching them on this screen. My cable company aslo has concerning eighteen 3D movies on demand, most free, in over-under format. They play fine on this TV through each element and HDMI.There are heap of settings, and advanced settings. If video setup isn't acquainted to you, I recommend you are doing as I did and sit down in front of the TV with the book and skim through and regulate your settings as you see match - it'll be worthwhile.Another great point concerning this TV is that the quantity of inputs. There are three HDMI A/V inputs, two element inputs with l/r audio inputs, two regular video inputs with l/r audio inputs, two USB ports and an SD/SDHC/SDHX slot. together with the coax antenna input, there are a complete of nine inputs on this set and the two USB and SD slot - that is pretty spectacular.All of the input terminals are often labeled, using preset device names. they'll even be disabled using the NOT USED label. Doing this can skip those selections from the input selector menu.Picture quality? the colour vary very makes a distinction during this set. Theres a black setting which may be set to ligher or darker. Setting it to darker makes a world of distinction in HD content. You actually see black and black gradients clearly on this set. there's glorious color spectrum, while not the banding i used to be used to with my LCD panel. the good issue concerning changing the colour settings is that the settings are retained individually for every input. The THX setting for second mode, and Cinema setting for 3D mode very enhances the colour and clarity of the displayed content.I really wished this set for the 3D capabilities. I even have a lot of my very own 3D content (photos and videos) that i used to be viewing on my 3D laptop monitor. Everything is simply such a lot larger viewing it on this set. i used to be quite startled at the dimensions distinction of the forty two in. (OK, 41.6 in.) screen compared to my recent thirty two inch screen.Since my main purpose was 3D with this set, i will mention it once more, full HD 3D is really wonderful viewed with this setup. individuals have complained concerning the glasses being uncomfortable, however I even have no cpmplaints with the glasses. the total HD 3D exhibits nearly no ghosting, and also the little of ghosting I even have seen isn't the least bit distracting to me. By comparison, the 3D content offered by the cable company will exhibit a little a lot of ghosting that every now and then will subtract from the enjoyment.My solely grievance concerning this set is that the sound from the inbuilt speakers. It's true that inbuilt sound isn't dedicated, even on the foremost expensive of sets, that could be a shame. during this day and age, they may do higher with sound delivery. There are bass and treble setting, and a bass boost perform, however the bass boost very simply distorts the lower frequencies. At higher volumes, bass is practically non-existant. there's a digital audio output to attach to a home theater receiver, however I now not have one.The Vieracast options may well be nice, however i do not arrange on using them, a minimum of not however. however it's nice to understand they're there. There also are the Viera tools, that permit fast 3D settings, photo viewing, video viewing and alternative tools that i have never very played with however. each the Vieracast and Viera tools are often accessed by dedicated buttons on the remote.Internet setup was a breeze. I do have a gripe but, concerning having to pay an additional $70.00 for the wireless LAN adapter. For the worth of this set, it ought to embody wireless access out of the box.If you're considering this set for purchase, download the manual from the Panasonic web site and skim through it. I did, which swayed my decison.I don't apprehend what else to mention. this is often a wonderful set with beautiful image quality, glorious 3D capabilities, ample inputs, and further options for people who wish them. If you're even considering buying this set (or the fifty in. version), you want to get the whole package with the glassess / movies / 3d Blu ray player. you are not paying for them anyway. once you initial explore, you're being charged for the glasses kit and also the blu ray player, however finishing the acquisition can deduct alittle quantity from the glasses kit and blu ray player, and also the balance of every are going to be deducted from the worth of the TV. In the end, your total payment can equal the worth of the TV (not together with tax, of course). GO FOR IT!"
