I had service technican come out to fix the above noted problems. Technican found that he had to manually adjust the RGB guns as well as use the service screens(software adjustments were not enough), and even after gun was adjusted, the edge convergence was not very good. The 64 point convergence screen does not allow technican to adjust the bottom and the top row of cross-hairs(very strange). So, after all these adjustments, it looked better, but, still the convergence was not very good at the edges. When each gun displayed the grid separately, some of the gun could not be made to display straight lines on some of the lines, especially the bottom line.

I have other issues with this unit such as poor and insufficient manual, RF inputs that forgets channel memory when switching from cable to broadcast, and two RF input requirement of having same type of input (cannot have RF of cable, and regular broadcast), poor PIP adjustments/control etc.

But, basically, this unit is going back.

I recommend that you stay way from this unit. The factory settings were horribly out of spec. There must be QA problems at Panasonic. My experience with Panasonic has not been that great in recent years.

After several purchases of Panasonic, this will be my last.


One of the best picture for a projection TV   March 10, 2004

I bought this TV three months ago and like everybody said before, TV has to be carefully adjust. This TV has a high contrast and default picture is too flashy, too much color but once ajusted, very very nice. Also, convergence is easy to setup with the nine points adjustment, but for best adjustment, better go into the service setup menu where you have a generated color bar where it is much more flexible to setup convergence instead of the nine points adjustment in the customer setup menu. Very happy with this TV and watching a DVD with it is simply unbelievable

i have a 350 dvd collection and i watch a lot of tv and let me tell you.. this tv is awesome, and it's not true that tv shows in 4:3 format are distorded, the look the same they fit te screen without messing the image up. You need a few days to get used to the size and format but it's the same has a 4:3 tv. In all the project tv i saw before buying this one .. this one has the clearest picture and more settings and alot of inputs and the Components part ... wow pictures looks awesome for dvds. Seriously this is one of the best projection tvs around. If you watch it under 16x9 all the time (wich you should) will work for years and years and years....

Just wanted to say we bought this tv in July. It was delivered to our door and installed by the delivery men. The only problem was the shippers seemed to think Montana was in Utah. But, once we got the geography problem fixed the TV was delivered and we just love it.

Wonderful pictures, DVD's are just awesome.

I highly recomend this TV.


price drop on this awesome hdtv   November 30, 2003
I just got this Panasonic in my den and I love every 47 inch of this awesome tv. The picture is truely awesome. If you want a mid size projection tv in the corner of your room, then this unit fit perfectly without taking up too much space. Best of all, i bought this unit for $1088.00 at 6th Ave electronic (New Jersey)
