Incredible price of Panasonic VIERA smart TV

Incredible price of VIERA

I have owned this Panasonic VIERA TC-P60S30 60-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV for about two months now. It performs beautifully, and I have not no issues with color, brightness, performance, condition or reliability. The picture quality is excellent. I use this set mostly for HD gaming and movies, and it handles both brilliantly. I love the Viera Link system, which makes my life considerably easier, since I am forever loosing remotes. Others have complained of black bar burn in from watching 4:3 TV shows. I have watched no small number of 4:3 shows, and wider screened movies, and had no issue with burn in.

There are some areas where improvements could be made, however. The Viera Cast features work well, but they are slow. If you are used to using your game system or a Roku box for Netflix, you will be a bit disappointed by the television's load times. More importantly, you lose a lot of the set's functionality when you are in this mode, including Aspect Control. If I am streaming a 4:3 show through my PS3, I can switch to a different mode for a larger picture. If I am streaming directly through the TV, however, I lose this option. That seems like a pointless loss of functionality to me. I would also like to see the TV come Wifi out of the box, but I knew I needed an adapter before I bought it.

All in all, I am very pleased with this television, and would happily buy it again, but it could use a few tweaks here are there. Last week I see amazon.com offer an interesting price which lower than I bought almost 50%, sadly, but I do recommend you to check it.
