I have owned this particular model for slightly over two years. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the TV powered down while I was watching it and will not power back on successfully. The power light flashes in patterns of 7, which indicates an error code due to failure of the power unit/board and/or voltage regulator.
I have seen hundreds of similar complaints about Panasonic TVs manufactured in the same time period that cease operating after two years, all due to the same problems. Panasonic refuses to acknowledge responsibility for said condition and projected repair costs are at or near half of the cost of this unit.
True while it was operational that the product offered a nice picture and sound but two years in this day and age is unacceptable for the life of a television unit.
Thumbs down on this one.

I have had the 42" pz80u for 8 months. I just started using DVI > HDMI cable on the back HDMI port and after a few weeks the tv won't turn on. 10 blinks of the power light was my only clue. Service guy via chat told me the front HDMI port is designated for computers only. Back ports MUST be HDMI to HDMI devices, e.g. DVD players, appletv or whatever. In fact, if you go DVI > HDMI then use an extender cable HDMI > HDMI inbetween your computer and the TV and still use the back port, you should be good to go without this issue. Please note: Other blinking light issues are different problems. I believe this is just for 10 blinks. Not 7 and not twelve. good luck. Otherwise, this has been a very quality set. Controls are easy, ports are easy and picture is excellent and I should know for how much I researched this crap.

I simply love it! HD TVs are awsome!
If the closed captions could function while using the HD feed (for regular TV or cable, not DVD or other feed like this) this TV would be perfect.I think this is because this technology stills developing.
If you are one of those who don't really mind the CC's not coming up on you TV, then is the perfect TV for you!

I orderd this Item 42PX75u over the internet and the item came 3 days early on shipping and we plug the set into our Dish network. We have the clearest picture I have seen on a TV . I would recommend it highly and also amazon. com. P Erwin

This TV has far exceeded our expectations! The picture quality is excellent...esp. with an HDMI cable. I definitely don't feel anything is lacking since this is 'only' 720p. I can't see how the picture could be any better! The sound quality is superb as well, even when not running it thru the home theater system. And, even though this model does not feature an anti-glare or anti-reflective filter/screen like the updated model does, it poses no problems. We have a wall of windows, and once the TV is on, you can't notice the glare, except for on the bezel.
All in all, this was a great purchase, esp. for under $1000. It is definitely worth the money. Oh, and the white glove delivery was great, too.
