Have had the TV for 40 days now and have used most of the features. Picture quality is excellent. Went from another 65" HDTV to this one and the Panasonic is so vivid and the black is black as can be, very nice. Was warned about the reflective screen and this is not an issue even though the room varies a lot in light level. Very easy to navigate through all the functions. Used to a Sony remote but this one is ok with a few short falls as feel of the buttons and a couple that could be in better locations. For media viewing it has a SD slot rather than a USB which is lacking but just plug the USB into the BluRay or PVR so no big deal. Connecting to the internet is simple, like it. Haven't used it as a monitor for the computer yet but it has the ability via wire or BT, another nice feature.
Overall the TV is great and would recommend it to anyone. Wife likes it better than our big screen.
Excellent tv, straight forward control, easy hook up, good picture quality,
good deal price,
definitely 5 star.
Got this TV after reading bunch of review on line. So far, it has been 2 month. No problem and no regrets. I also purchased a Samsung 47" 7100 series to mount next to this TV on the wall. Samsung looks sharper but color is off. This TV is massive compare to the 47", picture quality is good. I didnt find any problem with sound. Maybe it has to do with my small size living room. Overall, I rate this TV a 4.5 star, maybe I am more used to LCD picture quality of brightness, but this black level is no comparable.
"A Great Picture", 2010-08-31I had been looking at a variety of flat screent TV's since earll 2008. Everything I read said this Panasonic Plasma was the best for under $10,000. At that time this set was around $7,000. I wasn't in a hurry because I still had very good 65" scree, rear projection TV. My intent was to move the rear projectionset to the living room area for the grandkids to use for their playstation/Xbox/PS2 type games before the color 'guns' got bad.
So over the 2 1/2 years of looking at the newer sets that were coming out, I still read that this was the best buy. The price had come down to $2500.00 with free shipping. I ordered it.
It came with two delivery guys that brought the set all the way into my great room. The set up wasn't any more difficult than what I've experienced with other electronics. I used the Panasonic technical assistance line. I was on hold for less than a minute and the tech knew exactly what he was talking about. No problems.
The picture is very clear and coupled with HD broadcasts, I find that the actresses and actors have a lot of blemishes and they also got 'old' with just me changing to this 65" Panasonic Plasma HDTV. I have no complaints about this TV.
"Amazing Darks and ACURATE picture", 2010-08-08I bought this via a different online store - it was a few hundred dollard less at the time. I paid $2500 shipped and I now see Amazon has it for the same price. Here are a few paragraphs about my Panasonic V10. I have owned it for 2 weeks now and will update this review from time to time as I get more hours logged with it.
Picture Quality:
This is by far the most important reason for owning a large TV. We want to WATCH something, forget about the sound, the remote or any other aspect - everything else is secondary. I was concerned about the black level fade but I have researched and found this problem to be mostly with the smaller sized Plasmas. I can only hope that this set keeps the blacks as they are. Additionally, I have read that most people cannot notice the change in blacks. I will update when I hit 1000 hours. Plasmas still have the best picture reproduction and black levels or they display the blackest blacks very well. This Panasonic does an expection al job. I watched Batman Begins (MANY dark scenes)and Star Trek in Blue Ray. Just AMAZING.
SIDE NOTE:
1. Something I didn't know is that any Blue Ray that was filmed in a different aspect ratio MAY still have BLACK BARS, some DVDs and Blue Ray movies are not transposed to 16:9 and so their are still black bars. You can ZOOM on the Panasonic but then you get some of the picture cut off and the zooming can cause less than perfect picture. NOT the fault of the TV, it was just disappointing that we still can't get the FULL screen experience in WIDESCREEN with a WIDESCREEN TV. Why can't the movie industry get onboard and realize that everyone is WATCHING in 16:9 these days. Small annoyance on my end. I don't like black bars or Letterbox formats.
2. REGULAR, STANDARD Definition TV LOOKS LIKE CRAP! I watch more standard definition TV. NOT the fault of the TV, just means I need to look at upping my DISH Network package. I think standard looks WORSE on this set than on a smaller set - pehaps because it is blown up? Not sure. Too bad not all channels are HD yet. Wish it was just HD for the entire channel set and not just a few. ANd I wish it didn't cost so much extra.
Back to the review, DVDs look excellent as well. I have a Panasonic DVD/BLUE RAY (BD-60 or something) and it upscales nicely. I watch standard TV in Vivid with the color turned down a bit and a few other tweaks. I watch the movies and HD in THX with the brightness up a bit and add a bit more color and a few other tweaks.
The screen is massive and I really do enjoy the experience. I sit about 10 feet from my TV. I have it wall mounted. I wish this had a fully lit remote, other than that I think this is an awesome TV. No doubt it has the best picture I have ever seen and it is better than my brothers LCD Sony and WAY better than my old Sony 32 inch Standard. I will update when I think of any other review points that will help someone else make a purchasing decision. I think this model is being discontinued and 2010 should be the end of the V series. I think a new "model" is out now that is 3d and has a 5,000,000 infinate black ratio or contrast ratio... CAN you really tell? Happy viewing.
