Panasonic TC-P42G10 42 in. HDTV Plasma TV

And I am a dummy so fully qualified to write! My biggest ever purchase on ebay.

Superb HD picture for the $$. 600 hz blows the new 240hz LCd's. SD picture very unforgiving of low-quality original material. Audio just so-so; no audio headphone jack, audio line out but remote does not control the volume. If you run both speakers and audio out, there appears to be a delay on the audio line out which makes the combined sound echo-y.

A lot of good info on this Panny line at the AVS forum, especially tweaking the picture

No program guide at all that I can find :-( If a$40 converter box can have that why can't this $1000 unit have it?

As least for me, Viera cast set up (download software) would NOT work unless I turned the firewall on my Westell (Verizon) router completely OFF!

To access Viera internet via router you need ethernet cable - no usb. Wireless is possible via an access point like the Netgear WG602 V4 Wireless Access Point Bridge Repeater.

SD card slot and VGA port are nice to have.

I am happy I bought this. Beach Camera was flawless in delivery. If you join bing.com you can get 8% cash back if you pay via paypal and it is a "buy it now" auction. Not trivial on thus unit. No I am not a paid shill for anyone...

Okay back to being a dummy now....duuuhhh
