Set was received broken. Plasma screen was badly broken. Shipping personnel who delivered unit did not even get it all the way out of the box before it was evident the glass screen was shattered. The shipper repacked the unit and returned it to Amazon. End of story.

We recently purchased this TV as a replacement for our aging 36″ CRT and have been pretty happy overall. The picture is nice and bright and the controls are well laid out. The problem begins with the S-Video input from our DirecTivo unit. The picture was flawless on our old screen (with the same setup) but the new plasma shows a vertical line of blocks in the center of the screen(1). This doesn’t happen while playing games on our XBox-360 hooked up to the component interface. But the biggest problem is that we tried to contact Panasonic about this but haven’t heard anything back.
The other minor issue is that since the speakers fire directly down, the sound bounces of the TV stand and up the stairs. As a result we can hear the TV almost as well upstairs as you can sitting right in front of it. However, this is nothing that a simple surround sound system wouldn’t solve.

I bought a Panasonic TC-P50X1 rather than the Z800U. Both sets were side by side at a local retailer and I thought the 800U looked better with the identical settings. Since the TV is for my cottage, I could not justify the $800 difference. Once up and running I have only one regret. I always connect my tvs to my stereo system. This set does not have audio outputs for RCA cables. There is a digital audio out which does me no good. This is a glaring oversight so caveat emptor.

Bought this TV around the 4th of July sale from Amazon for $797 including shipping. Excellent price for a great TV. As one of the other reviewers mentioned it takes a few days for the picture to settle in and once it does its flawless. This is a very good buy for the price and I highly reccomend this TV even at the now higher price. No complaints. The delivery from Pilot was very prompt (in fact delivered ahead of time) and professional. Overall, a very good experience.
