 Excellent Plasma, but very pricey Jan 16, 2010
This is my first plasma HDTV purchase. The picture quality is fantastic. This is a NeoPDP panel (single pane of glass)
The panel thinness is still amazing to me. A screen this big and this thin looks crazy.
The sound is surprisingly good... the included speakers are also extremely thin. Not huge bass, but still very good for TV speakers.
The wireless feature is nice... especially for those who want a wall mount installation. You still have the option to use an HDMI cable from the separate tuner to the panel, if you like. I am using wireless, but on a stand. The stand has glass shelves. I have the tuner component on a lower shelf. Line of sight between transmitter and receiver, for the wireless, seems critical. This may be since I have the receiver almost directly over the transmitter.
The Viera Cast is nice, except I haven't been able to get the Amazon-On-Demand to play anything. It logs in and I can access content... nothing plays. I have contacted both Panasonic and Amazon... twice and have not received a comment from either. You Tube, Picassa, Weather Channel and Bloomberg all work well. Viera Cast could be a very nice feature if they can add more content... Vudu, Hulu, Netflix, etc. would be nice.
The THX picture setting option has a yellowish hue... this seems to be inherent in the THX settings that Panasonic is using.
Pros
Picture quality

I contacted Panasonic about the inability to stream Amazon VOD content. They were able to replicate the same problem on a TC-P54Z1 at their facility. Panasonic kept me posted via e-mail about their progress with this issue. A few days later, Panasonic tech support issued a firmware update that corrected the problem. Amazon VOD content now streams through Viera Cast. Very good customer support!

 Beware of major flaw Dec 16, 2009
Great picture, but there's a potential problem depending on your application.
This is the 3rd Panasonic Plasma TV I have purchased (first two were great) so I expected a similar user interface. I guess I should have read the fine print. Instead of the infrared controller that works directly with the TV monitor there is a wireless remote control that communicates with a separate tuner. The tuner is the size of a DVD player. The only way to operate and control the TV monitor is with the tuner plugged in. If you try to connect a DVD player or receiver directly to the TV you get an error message, "No Tuner !". The remote only works with the tuner connected. Through trial I found that a Panasonic will work directly with the unit but there is no remote control and no way to adjust the picture.
There is a wireless option where the tuner will transmit the signals to a receiver on the TV. Unfornunately like all wireless connections the result is not very hi-fi and the link can pick up interferrence and cause interferrence with other electronics. Plus, it doesn't work through walls.
If you have a separate room/closet to house your electronics then obviously the tuner will have to housed there. Now you have the problem (as I encountered) that the wireless remote doesn't work (same problem as with the wireless link).
The outrigger speakers have poor sound quality and look funky. 54" Plasma 1080P
If you are able to locate the tuner near the TV, don't mind the extra cables and are not planning to use a high end receiver (separate amp and speakers), then no major problems. Mounting the unit on the wall means cables hanging down the wall.
Panasonic have made a major error by not providing a standard interface option.
If you are looking for a plasma monitor for your high end home theatre, then this unit is not for you.
