This has been a great TV. While heavy during installation, there hasn’t been any need to move it around after that, as there have been no defects. The only downside is the resolution for the size. While the HDTV experience is awesome, well, as good as it can when not displayed in 1080i/p, you will notice color blending when watching some of the older shows due to the size of this television. Burn-in happens quickly, so don’t have Bloomberg on for more than 2 hours otherwise the stock ticker won’t go away for 24 hours. So with all that said, I would purchase this unit again, especially now, given its price. This was my second Panasonic plasma purchase and since LCDs are getting cheaper, it will probably be my last plasma. So with all this said, be the envy of all your friends, and don’t forget, superbowl is only 4 months away and the grass is always greener on a BIG HDTV.

Just got my Panasonic TH-58PX60U: Fantastic TV. Its hi-def picture quality & sound exceeded my expectations. Though my review’s focused rather on ElectronicsExpo customer service — it was great doing business with them. The unit was damaged sometime during shipping (cross – country). E.E. was very prompt in documenting it and contacting me about a replacement, which arrived shortly thereafter — safe and sound. Hassle-free, pleasant transaction. Thank you.

I’ve had this TV for about 3 years now, and it is still going strong. It is kind of dated now, being only 720p instead of 1080p, but if you are looking to see if the Panasonic Plasmas hold up for a few years, I can tell you they do. I can’t remember having any problems with it, and the TV’s remote control supports discrete code, so it is easy to program into my Pronto. Based on my experience, I would buy a new Panasonic if they would come out with a 72″ version.

Good tv,but very big. Picture is sharp and clear. Set up was a challenge due to weight of set. We wall mounted it and it was more than a two man job to lift it onto mount and organize the cables.

Amazon was very late on their free delivery service…by almost a week. Freight company was not helpfule finding shipment.

You can’t help yourself! You’ll find yourself mesmerized by the clarity and richness of this 58″ masterpiece! Everything looks so lifelike it’s freaky! The picture is impeccable. I was this close to purchasing an LCD until I came across this jaw dropping tour de force! I thought plasma was dead but this baby crowns the king. I can’t say enough about the picture so I’ll move on! The menu system is intuitive and easy to navigate. I have read some reviews about the sound quality being merely okay. I found the sound reproduction through the built in speakers to be quite good. The TV ships with “Standard” video mode settings which I found to be very dark. You can tweak all of the setting modes to your liking and I would suggest you do. The THX mode setting seemed washed out and not useable to my liking. No matter what settings I tried I could not produce a picture that I liked. My custom mode settings and my tweaks on the other modes are terrific! De-boxing and setup is very easy. This TV is quite heavy so grab a helper! I found no issues with reflective glare. Buy it now!
