Fantastic television. At the time of purchase I thought 1500.00 was to much to spend but the only had to pay for half. At the time the television gave the best picture period. It also had pixil shift to prevent burn in something plasma televisions can have. It does get warm and use about 3 dollars per month more electricity. Newer Panasonic televisions have better specs but this one still looks good. I would buy the television today. Costc has a lower priced model at 900.00 and it is fantastic too.
