Astonishing! August 30, 2010
Zelda (Pacific NW)
I am a very picky person when it comes to video / audio. This TV has no flaw! Watching blu-ray and blu-ray 3D is AMAZING. I agree with the other reviewer - It's better than theater. There's no reason for going to theater now, unless u just want to get out of the house or wanna catch new release...
Superb Television August 28, 2010

Returned an LED I had some issues with and bought this TV. To say the least, I am very pleased so far. I have only had it about a week, so this is very early in the product's life, but images are superb. Screen uniformity is the best of any flat panel I have owned. Images, when view off angle, are as good as they are straight on - it's really amazing how far off center this image remains consistent. Colors are realistic (and highly adjustable) and motions are very smooth, much better than a Samsung LED I bought. Streaming works very well (I use my Xbox 360 to stream movies) and even SD signals look very good for a flat panel HD TV.
It's hard too image anyone not being please with this product. With the caveat that I have only had it a week, I would highly recommend it.

Having previously owned a 4 year-old Panasonic Plasma that was only 720p, this TV is truly a treat - the black levels are outstanding, THX mode for color settings provides great out-of-the-box viewing experience.
As to the buzzing that others have alluded to. Plasma TVs buzz, more than LCDs, it is a known fact. Panasonic refers to their "10 foot rule" meaning that you shouldn't be able to hear the buzzing at a distance of 10 feet. Mine had a horrendous buzzing which varied in intensity based on the scene - Panasonic service had a repairman out to me in no time, and it turned out to be a bad ferrite core - something ironically meant to suppress buzzing.
That issue having been promptly fixed, the picture quality is amazing, especially with a 1080p feed (pop in a BluRay DVD like Planet Earth or Life and just drool as you watch it on this TV). I have to admit I haven't tried the 3D aspects yet apart from unpacking the glasses and trying them on. They seem rather flimsy and oddly constructed (two weird interchangeable nose pieces, neither of which seem too comfortable). However, I don't care if I never use them, but admittedly I bought the TV for its other features, such as size, resolution, black levels, picture quality, etc, and it doesn't disappoint!
Best Picture I've Ever Seen July 8, 2010

I've owned this 58VT25 for a few weeks now. HDTV broadcasts and Blu-ray video are just amazing, not to mention the very excellent 3D seen from Direct TV broadcasts. And by the way .. There are no grayish backgrounds where one would expect black. On this TV, blacks are BLACK. Also, on mine, there isn't any, "buzz" (someone here reported hearing a buzz) or any sound other than program content regardless of how close I get to the TV. If there was, I would call Panasonic's repair service.
One thing I learned early on is, don't mess with the color adjustments on this TV right off the bat; wait a few days for the TV to stabilize then adjust if you feel the need. The color realism on this TV is extraordinary. Being typically an early adapter, I've owned a few other plasma TVs. My gripe with my earlier Panasonics is .. I could never get the reds quite right (leaned toward crimson), and there always seemed to be just the slightest greenish hew. Yes .. I'm picky .. kind of a perfectionist I guess.
The reason for my having owned several TVs over the recent past is because those before never seemed quite right. This one though is a keeper. If there's any gripe at all it's with watching non-HDTV broadcasts. They look great, but I think they looked even better on the TV I replaced this one with. But broadcasters are all switching over to HD so that little complaint will never cause me to continue in my early adapter ways. This one, I'm sure, will stay in my house until one of us passes away (I'm a few years into retirement).
And by the way, I will edit this review if any negatives become apparent on this TV over time.
Best TV EVAR! July 2, 2010

This is the best TV I've ever sat in front of. It's almost a privilege to watch TV on this beast. 2D, 3D it doesn't matter - the picture quality is simply amazing. Watching the World Cup on ESPN 3D is the best thing ever. It has a slight buzz when watching 3D but is not noticeable sitting 10-12 feet away. You will have to play around with the settings for a little while after buying it to find the desired viewing preferences but when you get it, it's great. Looked at lots of TV's before purchasing this one and am soooooo glad I did. It replaced a 50" Sammy and I have absolutely no regrets.
