After 3 years, still an absolute great picture and tv!! Feb 10, 2010
I purchased this tv in December of 2006 after days and days of researching the best of the best out there. After 3 years I am still amazed at this tv's picture quality. It's breathtaking HD images wow everyone that comes over and sees it. My house has become the movie house since I bought it because with it I have a ONKYO receiver with Klipsh speakers so I have an absolutely great movie experience. The only downfall to this tv is being plasma it puts off a good bit of heat and does use a lot more electricity than LCD and LEDs. I'm still very happy with my purchase I made 3 years ago. Only now instead of costing $4,700 it sells for $1,700!! Don't hesitate on what to do. You won't be disappointed with this tv! Buy it!
Great TV Dec 04, 2009
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.

Incredible, immersing, engrossing! Feb 10, 2009
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!

1 Year and still happy Oct 15, 2007
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.

Excellent TV Jul 06, 2007
I researched dozens of tv's over the last few weeks and it is very difficult to determine in a store and online which tv has the best picture. Although money was a consideration my primary interest was screen size and quality of the picture. I primarily watch sports such as football, basketball and golf however we do like to watch our shows such as Lost, Heroes, etc... You know... the good ones that are in HD...
Anyways, I was seriously looking at the 61" Samsung DLP and the Mitsubishi 57" DLP because you get more screen size for the buck and they are 1080P. My thought was that 1080P is the future and so I want to future proof my setup. Unfortunately 1080P plasma's were way to out of reach for my budget. I wasn't considering plasma's at first because I wasn't about to buy a 1080i/720p model however, I came across this model TH-58PX60U at Costco for $2300.00.
How I made my decision was based on the refresh rates of action sports which I've concluded that Plasma is the only way to go...In stores, the DLP's seem pixelated and the screen couldn't keep up with the motion. I think if electronic stores want to sell more DLP tv's...they need to enhance their signal.
I did buy an HDMI cable (rocketfish 4' for $65) for my Verizon FiOS HD DVR and hooked it up and I could tell a slight difference in quality vs. the component video feed. Now that I have it setup the picture is amazing. Here is what I tested:
I tested late night drama's and the picture is super clear. I did get some football clips on ESPN sportcenter and the picture and clarity was exactly what I was hoping for. I started watching non HD broadcast and the picture is good...I was watching the Golf Channel and even though it is not broadcast in HD, the picture is very good. I am excited to see what it looks like on HD over the weekend.
The price to value ratio for this particular tv is awesome! I am a little concerned still that I didn't buy the 1080P but it is way to expensive to keep up with technology. 2 Years ago this TV was over 5K and now it is less than half that. In the stores, I couldn't tell the difference between 1080P and 1080i/720P and although I am taking somewhat of a risk by going with the 1080i/720p I should be good to go for the next 5-7 years before I buy again. Besides, broadcast TV is only 1080i/720p and since that is what I predominately watch a 1080P TV isn't going to do me much good. Of course Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are out however, now that I blew my wad on this TV...it's going to be a while before I can get one of those...not too mention that they are going to have to come down in price to about $200-250 before I would consider them. I did test my DVD player and it was ok...We watched 'Cars' and there were absolutely no artifacts from the speed of the picture. It was clear and overall, I'm very happy.
58" Plasma for less than 2500 bucks...Wow! you can not go wrong...especially from Panasonic and their quality products that they put out...I would recommend this set to anyone.
Another reason to buy from Costco is they extend the manufacturer's warranty by an additional year so you get 2 years for the price of one. And if you pick it up...not that heavy and the box is easy to manuveur because someone got smart and put handles in the box although you will need a truck...
Anyways, hope this helps!
