Customer Review: Great Deal for the $$ as newer models come out the price drops!
I have had ours since July of this year, I have a bunch of kids & was leary of the track record of some of these other manufacturers, in regards to warranty assistance SHOULD the need arrive! I tried (I repaeat TRIED!!) to contact several manufacturer's that were in the running for my consideration, in regards to their warranties, WHO, WHERE HOW...etc would I send/take my humongous plasma to? I am VERY rural (in the hills of TN!) MOST of them required I SHIP it to them!Do you know how big those boxes are that they come in? & the logistics of repacking it.........NOPE! "It aint a-happenin'!" Anyhow.... after MUCH deliberation & research I went with Panasonic (as their warranty is into your home should you need a repair, WOW!! :-) I bought this an older model with GREAT comsumer reviews,& a good value as the newermodels come out the price continues to fall! I have been EXTREMELY pleased, & nothings happened so far to need any warranty work! The TV is crisp & clear, plays beautifully!
Customer Review: delighted
I jumped to get mine during a one day sale for a rediculously lower price than here. No dead pixels. Very bright picture. Video reproduction on this plasma is SO much better than most LCDs I've seen. Using the HDMI ports from a BluRay player and a HD-DVD player I fine tuned mine to the following settings: Picture Mode: Standard Picture: -6 Bright: +15 Color: -6 Tint: -3 Sharp: +5 Color Temp: Normal Color Management: Off All Filters: Off Those settings are for when 1080 is filling up the whole picture; but I have to lower the Picture and raise the Brightness for 4:3 or video with black bars at the top & bottom. Blacks are better on Standard-Def tube monitors; but black on Plasma's are much much better than the LCD's I've seen. I've attempted to help a few friends set up their LCD's for best black, but resolution deteriorates on most LCD's when blacks look good. On the other hand the Picture and Brightness tuning on this plasma behaves very similar to a Tube monitor. Blacks are still a bit too milky for my taste, but I guess I'll have to raise the room lighting to trick out my eyes. I like this plasma for the price I paid for it.

LCD projectors are the modern equivalent of the slide and overhead projector. LCD projectors use a small and usually colored LCD panel placed before a bright lamp, with the images on the screen provided by sources such as a DVD, VCR or a computer. LCD projectors are generally smaller in size and more easily transportable than former systems. Armed with a lens capable of projecting the images on any surface with a flat plane and not requiring supporting furniture like a big-sized television would, LCD projectors are getting increasingly viable with each passing day.

There are certain things to take into account when purchasing an LCD projector. The projector's resolution generally determines the price; the higher the resolution, the greater the price. If the need is for minute details to be precisely displayed, then higher resolution projectors are the way to go. The LCD projector's light output depends on the lumens rating, i.e. the higher the lumens rating the brighter the light output. For classrooms, projectors of 1000-2000 lumens suffice; for big conference rooms, the ideal projectors would be those between 2000-3000 lumens.

The ratio between the brightest and darkest spots of an image is called the projector contrast. When purchasing LCD projectors, it is feasible to go for contrasts of 400:1 or higher. This way the best and the clearest pictures are achieved.

If the projector is to be carried around to different locations, then it is best to purchase a light projector. Many LCD projectors today weigh below five pounds. The lighter projectors generally cost more though. Also, it is viable to get an LCD projector with multiple ports, in the event that you want to connect multiple video or computer sources to the projector simultaneously. Another factor that should be considered is the durability of the lamp. Replacements can be an exorbitant deal. A lamp life of 2000 hours is just about ideal.
