Actually Panasonic does offer a ZOOM feature for their 42″ plasma (the latest model) This will zoom and crop out the black bars from any aspect ratio without distorting the shape.

I have owned the TV for 6 days. Picture looks great on HD content and ok on SD. Needs adjustment out of box. Do NOT buy for the Picture in Picture feature. To Switch your choice of pictures sound you must pull up menu. Choose sound then input. Now the killer. SOUND has cut out on me way to many times. My older tv (Sony) never lost sound, ever and NO tv should! So it is not my $89.00 HDMI Cable. You expect to make adjustments to a TV, Color, Tint, Contrast etc. NOT to this sound problem. Defective item is being returned. NOT recommended.

Total novice on this purchase. Basically relied on these reviews. THANKS!!
My question is: When delivered from Eagle, out of the box, do I need anymore cable to hook up to my present satellite provider DirecTV, to have this work instantly?

If you like to watch a two hour movie, make sure you leave enough time for it to cool off after the first hour and then come back to watch the rest an hour later. The screen goes black when it heats up. My set has been to the shop twice, and guess what? it’s still there. I bought my set two months ago I have only had it in my living room for about two weeks. That,s just to have it picked up by the Samsung Authorized repair shop which is a joke. They said that had fixed it, the first time and all was well for about three hours then after that the screen would go black but you could still hear the movie.
The television is still in the shop and I am very disappointed with how my retailer does business, they said, only when Samsung,s authorized repair shop could not fix it, only then could they exchange the television. Samsung has to know that their plasma line are pretty much junk. Samsung
puts a sort of disclaimer in the box “Do not take this set back to the retailer please call samsung customer service”. I should have seen it as a bad sign. My advise is to not buy this set, I am know looking for an LCD since they do not generate a lot of heat.

It retailed 1599.00 at Best Buy on Sale for 1399.00 the first week of football season. Plus tax and ship, bring home yourself.
I bought it for 1149.00 no tax and free shipping from Amazon.
Picture is great, set up not hard.
Menus and stuff are easy. You;ll fiddle with the controls to get the best picture but take time and get it the way you like it.
Easy to connect I use HDMI, HDMI for Playstation is sweet too.
I don’t see a downside. Beautiful looking, has its own stand, rotates.
Love it.
