You can't go wrong with this HD-TV Near the beginning of October I read the reviews here, noting particularly the one by Anuj Saran [first one that appears for this TV at this web site]. I found the rebate form online and I went to Sears on the following Friday to check out the sale. I bought it that night, had it delivered on Sunday, had the digital cable by Wednesday night, and have been enjoying it since.
Setup was a snap; The menus are easy to follow; the user manual easy to follow, though some information is lite...

Great TV;Good Price at sears I got the TH-42PZ77U from sears on October 6, 2007. I have it for 2 days and have seen 3 movies and about 20 hrs of TV on it. List price $1800. Discount at sears -$400 so $1400. I opened a sears card and got another 150 off. Net price: $1250 for 1080p 42" with anti glare and anti reflecive screen with 2 hdmi ports and a remote that actully lets me control the dvd player (sony) and the cable box (scientific atlanta). The picture quality is outstanding, I have been researching plasma's for over 6 ...

Worth the step up price I found this hidden gem after MONTHS of research. I was going to wait until after the Holiday season, but if I found the right TV at the right price, I'd be willing to pull the trigger.
So I'll come clean right now... I bought the TV from Sears during their VIP event for an incredible deal. However, the reviews are not as good on their site and I want to contribute my two cents to the review community. I would've bought it here, but I don't like the hassle of shipping.

Perfect Plasma (1080p) for the Price I agree with your posting 100%. I recently purchased this TV at Sears for 1399. I have also researched plasma TV's for the past several months and really wanted the 50 inch, but it was a 1000 more than this badboy. At 42 inches, this TV looks pretty massive and the picture quality is extremely nice even with a regular DVD. My next step is to evaluate and upscaling DVD, HD DVD, or Blueray player. If you're looking to get a high end 1080p plasma, this TV beats them all.

Awesome picture quality I have this TV for almost a month now. and I just have one word to describe picture quality "AWESOME". (even with 480i signals)
Here are the things I would consider 'bad' (its not bad as it may sound, but while writing review, i thought i should mention it)
1. Screen could have been little more brighter. Most of the times, I watch 480i feed that comcast cable provides and keep TV on 'Cinema' settings, and if there are dark scenes. picture seems little dull.
2. Remote n...

Power Supply Failed After 4-1/2 hours I purchased this TV on a Wednesday from a US Navy Exchange store and arranged for DirectTV to install their system. They came the Friday of the following week. The set was GREAT, WONDERFUL, etc., until we turned it off for supper. An hour later we turned it on and got a "No Signal" message, then the screen went blank.
We turned it off, waited 10-15 minutes, then turned it back on - nothing, not even that message. We called Panasonic's Help number (as listed on the user manual) and the...

Incredible value when all things considered Panasonic has long been a leader in plasma technology and the new 77U series is no exception. The new TH-42PZ77U has a full 1920x1080 (1080p) panel that is now rated @10,000:1 contrast ratio and 100,000hrs to half brightness. What really sets the 77U series apart is the new "anti-glare" screen coating which differs from the "anti-reflection" coating on the other models. Some will say that the anti-glare degrades the picture quality versus the others...I say it doesn't matter if the set is unwatc...

Outstanding TV I have spent alot of time reseaching TV's the past 2 Months. At first I was really drawn to LCD because of the bright pictures when viewing in the store. When I really studied the pictures closely I could see the Panasonic really did show more true to life colors. Because plasma shows blacks alot darker than an LCD it tends to make a screen look darker. I have never written a review on any purchase I have made, but have read many to make decisions on purchases. I am so pleased with the quality, ...

Power Supply Problem? I did a lot of research before I bought this tv, but being a newer model, could only compare it to similar models. I have had this set for about 3 1/2 months. I love the hd picture, upconverted standard dvds look awesome, and the sd picture is pretty good on most channels. However, I came home this evening, turned it on and nothing. The power light just flashes 7 times over and over. I called Panasonic and they are supposedly arranging for somebody to come out next week to look at it. We're watc...

Well worth the money I've now owned this TV for a couple of weeks and must say that it's WELL worth the money. Here's why:
The purchase process:
1) I purchased a great deal through 6ave, $1200 shipped & no taxes.
2) The TV arrived via freight forwarder & local logistics delivery company that brought the TV into my home and I had to inspect the screen before I signed off and they could leave.
The TV itself:
- Works wonderfully with my Time Warner Motorola HD DVR cable box using H...
