Customer Review: Top-Rated Picture And Reliability
We bought the TH-65PZ750U both because an independent/non-profit consumer magazine rated its little brother, the TH-58PZ750U, as the top-performing TV in its size class, and because Panasonic TVs in general were rated as having the least-frequent / smallest number of problems/repairs. In my own experience, one can't take for granted getting both high performance and reliability in one product. So with a credible source saying that Panasonic nailed both, we figured we can't go wrong. We've been using this TV for about 4 months and are very pleased. The picture looked awesome right out of the box. The only adjustment we've made since then is to back off the "Picture" setting because we found it to be very bright; not a flaw, just preference. I am particularly fussy about picture quality, and until now preferred smaller screens because the big ones just didn't look good to me. But the TH-65PZ750U changed that. The HDTV picture is incredible. The colors are vivid but not embellished, the level of detail is stunning, and the edges are nice and crisp. In fact, with a good HD source, the TH-65PZ750U is able to give the illusion of looking out a window or "being right there". But it also excels with regular non-HD sources as well. On top of all that, the TV itself has a nice gloss-black frame that looks really sharp. Obviously a matter of taste, but some of the gray-plastic frames on other TVs make them look cheezy and could be of detriment to the "wife-approval factor". Ours is being used as a monitor connected to a home theater system, so I am unable to comment on the TV's built-in tuner or sound quality. So if you want top-shelf picture quality from a company with a good track record for reliability, the Panasonic TH-65PZ750U is definitely worth putting at the top of your short list.
Customer Review: Stunning!
I compared zillion different TV sets before I ran into this monster plasma. It has clearest and best defined image. Colors are crisp and vibrant, the entire image is 3-dimensional! There is lot of talk about what is superior, but just walk to a decent store and watch this thing and it will speak for itself. The Blu-Ray movie looks like a dream on this set. I watched some animation movies and the whole experience is blowing mind!


Will this date below sneak up on you? Will your TV stop in the middle of your favorite program because you were not prepared for FEBRUARY 17th? Don't wait until the last minute to make the transition. This is a tool to help you get through it with useful information and links to helpful government facts. I have done the research for you to prepare for this historical date, which will be upon us before you know it. So make the transition before its too late.

That's right on February 17th of 2009, all full power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting in digital. This page is designed to help you with this transition. So what does all of this mean?

The Transition To Digital TV

TV stations serving all markets in the U.S. are airing digital television programming today, although most will continue to provide analog programming through Feb. 17th. At that point, full power TV stations will cease to broadcast on their current analog channels, and the spectrum they use for this will be reclaimed and put to other uses.

The Digital Tuner rule specifies that as of March 1, 2007, all new TVs must include digital tuners. The FCC has adopted a rule requiring sellers to display the following text if they are selling TV equipment with only an analog broadcast tuner.

So Will I need Additional Equipment to Receive Programs on My TV?

Consumer's who rely on antennas (including outside antennas and rabbit ears to receive over the air broadcast signals on their TV sets having only analog tuners will need to obtain separate digital to analog set top converter boxes to watch over the air TV. These boxes receive digital signals and convert them into analog format for displaying on your TV. These converter boxes could run anywhere between $50 -$70.00. As you read further you will be able to print off or send for a coupon that participating retailer's will accept to help save you some money.

What If I Have Cable or Satellite Already?

Cable subscriber's may need new DTV equipment to view DTV programming in digital format. You will need to contact your cable provider to see what you will need and when.

Satellite subscriber's may need new DTV equipment to receive and view HD High Definition TV digital programming. You will need to contact your satellite company for what you will need and when. There will be links at the bottom for top cable and satellite hookup information.

What do Quality Levels Mean?

Standard Definition TV ( SDTV): basic level of quality display and resolution for analog and digital.
Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV): Is a step up from analog TV. It provides better picture quality compared to SDTV but not as good as HDTV.

High Definition TV (HDTV): HDTV in widescreen format provides the highest resolution and picture quality of all the digital broadcast formats. Combined with digitally enhanced sound technology, HDTV sets new standards for sound and picture quality in television.
