Rating: - Good TV -Bad DeliveryThe TV so far is performing as I expected. The delivery service , however, left much to be desired. It was delivered by one man who told me I would have to assemble the stand and setup the TV. When I objected, he asked me to help him and did I have a screwdriver, he had no tools! He did not screw the TV to the stand properly, stripping the screw as it hung up on another. It is now be impossible to remove the stand. He knew little or nothing about setting up the TV for HD. I had to call the cable company to get it functioning properly. After this bad start however, the TV has been good. Rating: - Great Picture and Sound!I admit, I'm very picky about what I buy, but I have to say, I am more than pleased with this television! I shopped around for an affordable 1080p HDTV but I didn't want to give up quality and I found both in this unit. The picture is very clear, the sound is great, and it is very easy to set up and use. I find no problems with the screen reflection, unlike my other big screen TV. I have zero regrets about choosing this one (I wish I could say the same thing about my first wife)! Rating: - Beautiful PictureI bought this TV for several reasons: 1) LCD was about the same price for this size (50 inch) 2) Plasma TVs have a blacker black (which this one does) 3) I did not need a fancy speaker system since I am connecting it to a surround sound system. 4) Panasonic has the top rated Plasma televisions for quality in comsumer reports. I love the TV. It's huge! The digital picture quality when I watch Nova on PBS is absolutely stunning. I only have two small complaints: 1) The TV will not tell me what resolution the current channel is that I am watching. Something like a "Info" button on the remote would be nice. 2) In order to turn the ... Read More Rating: - Excellent picture and Excellent PriceThis unit has an amazing picture. My previous TV was a Mitsubishi Diamond Model HD unit and the Panasonic's picture in HD and particularly SD is much better. Also, there's very little motion artifact compared to the Rear Projection Unit. I'm running this through a home theater system, so the sound is fine. I wouldn't rate the built in speakers as being very good but if you're running the sound through you're own amp, it won't make any difference. If I was to buy it again, I would try to order directly from Amazon or the partnered vendor rather than using Amazon as the middleman. There were some communication problems - but eventually it all worked out. Overall, this is a remarkable TV considering ... Read More Rating: - Excellent TV; more than satisfiedIt would be hard to be unhappy with this unit. The colors are excellent and the image is stunning. The only comment I can make is of the industry as a whole. I researched this TV on Consumer Report. I used the March 2008 issue. Buy the time I went to by the unit, the model in the review had been replace with a newer better one. Within 30 days of my purchase, my TV had been replaced with a NEWER, BETTER ONE. |
Massachusetts expands trial of train-Fi: The state's train authority will spend $1.4m to expand a trial program for Wi-Fi on certain state commuter lines to all 258 coaches. The program's formal launch is Wednesday. The annual cost is estimated at $300,000, but the authority didn't try to estimate savings or other expenses involved in shifting people from cars to trains as a result of the service.
Skyhook says 300 iPhone apps access location: Location guru Brady Forrest breaks down the data about how many iPhone applications are aware of their surroundings. No numbers here about the number of queries per day Skyhook is handling from iPhones, which we would all love to know, but is certainly proprietary to their deal with Apple. Forrest doesn't mention another interesting sidenote: Skyhook corrects their database of Wi-Fi locations with every query sent by an iPhone, which as a highly mobile device, must have a dramatic effect on extending and enhancing their routine truck-based scanning.
