Very Impressed With My Purchase
Excellent picture. Clean sound. Energy Efficient and Great Refresh Rate
I am very pleased with the excellent picture quality, especially with blu-ray discs. With its 600hz. refresh rate I havent had any issue with motion blur in movies or video games. Another plus is that it is more energy efficient than many plasmas, as Panasonic uses a new NeoPDP technology that delivers the same plasma picture with considerable less energy consumption.

Would you recommend this product to a friend?: Yes

Panasonic tvs have excellent black levels and whites, Rich and Deep Colors, Great Value for Size of the tv. Panasonics are the best Plasmas you can buy.

"Don't listen to anybody who says Samsung is the best plasma tv maker. They are overpriced. They Dont give you the kind of Picture that a Pansonic tv would. This Tv is huge and it's a great value. I primarily use These Tv's for Gaming and Blu-Ray. If this is your first time looking for an HD tv i Reccomend this one.

HDTV screen refresh rate

If you're shopping for a new HDTV, you've probably seen 60Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz or 600Hz listed in the description fields. But what do those numbers mean in terms of picture quality and performance?

For TVs, the number of Hz (Hertz) measures the screen refresh rate, which is how many times per second a TV screen image is completely reconstructed. A TV with a 60Hz refresh rate means that the picture will be completely rebuilt 60 times in one second. Why is this important? Generally, the faster the screen is refreshed, the smoother the images will appear to the human eye.

LCD HDTVs offer 60Hz, 120Hz and just recently, 240Hz models. Nearly all Plasma HDTVs feature a 600Hz refresh rate and are known for their smooth display of action, sports and video games. At the lower 60Hz level, something called motion blur can occur with rapid on-screen movement. The result can be a somewhat blurry image for a moment when, for example, players are running down the field. As you start to move into 120Hz and 240Hz territory, motion blur is significantly reduced.

The switch to digital broadcast TV.
