Having done much research and deliberating on this purchase, I have finally put my money where my mouth is and can only say this tv is truley stunning ,yes even compared to the holy grail that is Pioneer.
It handles everything superbly the images from the Panasonic BD30 blue ray player are brilliant , standard dvds take on new life and even SD broadcasts via the Sky+ are teriffic, the recent episode of doctor who played back after being recorded on the sky+ was fantastic.
I had been waiting for this new Panasonic series to get the What Hi Fi treatment but after seeing the set at the local Panasonic dealers and watching all the possible inputs -SD/DVD/blue ray, i was impressed enough to go it alone.
The tv sound quality is good and is helped by the setup menu for selecting how close the screen is to the wall.
The debate on the pros and cons of the IFC - Intelligent Frame Creation are not an issue. It seems to work fine and can be turned off for SD mode.
I bought it locally for £1550.00 with a five year guarentee, which includes a loan set and they come out to me,
So i think when you know what you want and have prices give the local stores a try, you maybe plesently surprised , i also purchased a Kef 3005SE package and picked up a sixth centre rear speaker for £100.00 bargain! from the same people. The more you can give them alows them to make a better overall deal for you.
Must go we have another film waiting, cant wait to get Blade runner blue ray.
