Impressed With EVERYTHING - A Gamer's Review
By Zero
I originally ordered this set in Mid-May and had it shipped via Amazon Prime, It arrived in a very timely manner and I immediately unboxed it and hung it on my wall.The first thing I did was plug everything in and make sure it works. It did without problem. I ended up having to go out and on the way home rented a 3D Movie to play via Playstation 3 to the television. I got home, popped it in, set up the 3D glasses and settings and was AMAZED at how great the picture was. The blacks are truly BLACK (To the point where all black screens made me do a double take, thinking I turned the television off) and the colors were vibrant. I bought this blindly thinking "Hey 3D Might be cool" but have to say I am completely hooked on it now!The next day I plugged in my laptop via HDMI and ran a few tests, Input lag and dead pixels mainly (Input lag will be covered later). I noticed a problem...Two dead pixels, One fully black on red images and the other black no matter the color.I called Amazon and was met with a very nice representative who helped me get a replacement shipped under the agreement I'd ship the current set back when I received the replacement. She even upgraded my shipping to 1 day (Because I called on a Friday I guess and they couldn't ship until Monday).I received the replacement 7 days ago and after unboxing it and testing (once again) for input lag, flashlighting (uneven backlight), or dead pixels I saw no issues. The original television I got must've been an uncommon mistake.Over the course of the first few days having it I decided to get a calibration disk (after deciding I'd keep it) to REALLY see what this baby could do.After 2-3 hours of calibrating I was WOWED once again by how beautiful and picture perfect the image quality, blacks, and colors were. Everything looks natural and "just right".So, All in all I'm VERY impressed and happy with this product, The colors and image quality were far superior to anything I saw at my retail store (Which, ironically, sells this television for $400 more). Having now played through a few games on it, watched a few movies and done just about everything I could imagine myself doing I can't find a single REAL fault that would make me think twice about getting this again.INPUT LAG: I know this isn't covered in most reviews and this is SPECIFICALLY why I went with this television. The input lag is non existent. That isn't me telling you "I don't see it while gaming"... That's me telling you after testing it thoroughly. Input lag versus a CRT in Game Mode was an average of 16ms, One frame or less of lag. I've used this with a mouse and keyboard (which should feel it best out of anything, though the tests say it themselves) and there was nothing. Nada. Fighting games? SSF4, Tekken, and Mortal Kombat all felt or saw nothing. FPS games had the same performance. This set has been ran for gaming on a PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 and all of them are brilliantly flawless in performance via HDMI. This was NOT the same experience of my former HDTV.PROS:-AMAZING Picture Quality-Completely even backlighting-NO Input Lag AT ALL-IPS Panel-Fully featured settings list-3D Performance is mindblowing-Not a single dead pixel on the replacement-VERY Sturdy Construction compared to other designsCONS:-Power cable doesn't detach from the television, Not a problem for me but might be for others-Original unit had multiple dead pixelsOTHER COMMENTS:-Be sure to note that the screen and bezel are both GLOSSY, Some people are bothered by this but I personally think it looks great!This has been rated 4 out of 5 stars because of the pixel problems with the original unit, though I fully recommend this set now that I have one of proper quality.

Holy Crap!!
By jomo
This set is way better than i expected. Picture quality,color and contrast are stunning. I purchased this set for my son after reseaching every set in the 40" range. Last years sony hx800,which blows away this years ex720,was the top contender until i found this set. I watched avatar 3D on this and the VT25 plasma and saw little difference. I also watched basketball in 3D on directv and experienced no motion blurr. I looked very hard for flashlighting and blooming but saw none. Positioning the leds on the top and bottom seems to work very well. My son played black ops and killzone 3 in 3D and we both were very impressed. I wish they made this in a 55'. I'm waiting on the xbr hx929 to come out. I saw the sammy und8000 at my buddy's house. I was not impressed. I like this panasonic better. The wifi dongle connected to my dir-655 flawlessly. The internet works but we we will never use it. My son and i both have htpc's connected to our sets which makes the tvs connection unnecessary. I am very pleased with this set and am glad i found it. It's not talked about very much but worth more than it costs. Top performer in my opinion.

Good TV, but not perfect.
By Joe
This set is a pretty good set with pretty good image quality. I was lucky and got one with no Flashlighting and no clouding. From the thread on AVSForum com those 2 issues plague quite a number of the 2011 sets from various manufacturers.Overall I was quite impressed with the 3D in Avatar, most other movies look little better than 2D converted to 3D but I attribute this to the quality of the material being produced by the movie industry. 3D demos from nVidia via PC looked great and really popped so the set works well in that respect.2D to 3D conversion on the whole works OK. It tends to make some mistakes on Landscape type scenes and does better with interiors although shadows and dark areas still seem way out of place at times. It is quite clear some eggheads worked on getting the human form to convert from 2D to 3D pretty well though as people often look good.One main reason for this purchase was gaming and for that the extremely low input lag makes this a great set.The picture quality is very nice with deep blacks and good color with just one issue.Now on to that single issue. Internally this set does a very poor conversion to 4:2:0 Chroma Subsampling even when fed a feed that is pure RGB or one specified as 4:4:4. There is no way to disable this downsampling that occurs and it can damage colors that use red and/or blue when next to each other or black. Panasonic support says there are no service menu options for disabling this downsampling as well.Most of the time this downsampling issue will not be noticed (most TV, DVD, most Bluray content). However, when using Panasonic's own high end DMP-BDT350 bluray player and I would imagine several of their other lower end units that feature the "High Precision 4:4:4" Chroma Sampling for "More Vibrant, Smooth and Truthful Color Reproduction" this can be noticed on occasion. This can also be noticed when using gaming consoles such as PS3 and Xbox 360. It is also noticeable with a Home Theater PC and even the WDTV Live Plus. It is the worst when Red or Blue text is on a black background. I've also noticed it during laser grids in some movies (like when you see those red lines for laser security). Note: output from the same exact devices to a Sharp LC-32GP3U and even a cheap 22" Insignia did not have this Chroma Subsampling down sample issue from the same sources. This issue occurs regardless of input used, options selected, and as previously described is impossible to avoid according to tier 3 support from Panasonic (which took 4 days to call me back).Overall this is a pretty good set for the price with 3D in this size range. It has one very disappointing flaw especially considering Panasonic in their bluray player line have been since 2010 touting the value of accurate color reproduction. This flaw from what I have read affects all of the 2010 and 2011 sets across the LCD and Plasma lines from Panasonic and is likely related to one of the processing chips they chose.I've decided to keep this set but I'm definitely looking to upgrade in a year or 2 when more sets in the same size are available with less issues.
