Shopped for over a year...why spend more... I love this TV by Brian (PA)  5 Stars
November 21, 2009
Gorgeous 65" picture out of the box. I don't understand discussions about calibrating the color, because Phillies red, Eagles green and Giants blue were like being in the stadium. Upgraded my cable to HD and set up a 7.1 Dolby IIz surround system, and I never want to leave the house.
UNBELIEVABLE price. I needed a 65" screen for a 20' x 20', with good anti-glare since lots of windows on the other three walls surrounding the TV. When I started shopping a year ago, lesser models were $6000. This has everything you need and more. Through Amazon with the special offer, I got this TC-P65S1 with a free Panasonic DMP-BD80 blu-ray player for LESS than $2300 (delivered). The major feature missing from this S1 compared to the top-of-the-line V10 is Viera Cast internet access (youtube etc), but that feature was part of the "free" blu-ray player (though no real interest in this anyway).
SIZE MATTERS. You will love this TV!

Garbage - Best Value ? Maybe Only If It Works by Lou Perdoni (Georgia)  3 Stars
November 19, 2009
Delivered today. Watched it for 30 minutes then heard a "pop" and picture was gone. TV done. In my opinion now junk regardless of price paid. For this price regardless of value nothing should fail that quickly out of the box. I can not recommend regardless of what I wind up doing with it as I never had problems with my Sony's or Sharps. Second TV delivered and working OK so far. Picture is good and I would say accurate for other reviews written. Still hard for me to give a better rating at this point in time because to me reliability of a TV (or any product for that matter at this price level) is very important and that can only be measured over time. Since the reliability was tainted due to out of box failure on first TV it puts the overall reliability in question at this time with me. So only time will tell. So for now I have revised the rating to reflect a more realistic one for now.

Panasonic S1 amazing by Bob (Florida) 5 Stars
November 14, 2009
When I was comparing the 50" S1 version to other LCD TVs at Sears the Pana S1 whites looked less bright. But the S1 and the LCD TVs had the same contrast ratios, so I finally asked the salesman if he could turn up the contrast on the S1, when he did it looked just like the LCDs, which had white whites but other colors were washed out (they were really too bright, but I think that is how they are getting people to buy them).
So I got the Pana 65" TC-P65S1 from Amazon and at home it is amazing! Now the factory contrast setting was set to 100% and it was way too bright, with it at 28 it seems to be perfect in a dark room. Got the Pana DMP-BD80K player with it and I am amazed at how well it upconverts DVDs (480p) they look great on this TV from 10', and of course 1080p BDs look amazing! In addition, the Pana S1 can control the Pana BD80 blueray player through the HDMI cable, so you only need the TV remote to control both. And the speakers are actually pretty good. Just remember that to clean the glass dilute dish soap 1/100, and I just used a damp microfiber cloth without soap. Too much soap may be a problem for the excellent anti-reflective coating on the glass.
Mounted it on the wall with the Sanus VMPL3-B tilt wall mount others have mentioned, it fit perfect and had all the hardware needed, went into three studs to anchor it. With the tilt brackets (it also comes with low profile brackets) you have just enough room to connect a HDMI cable to the back.
Got it through Amazon, the Pilot delivery guys helped unpack it and waited for me to turn it on before having me sign. This TV in the box is heavy, by by its self two guys can lift it without too much problem.

Media Room by LKGFUN251 5 Stars
November 11, 2009
Here it goes:
I purchased this Panasonic from Amazon, this is my third time ordering a Plasma through Amazon and have not been disappointed yet. Delivery is always outstanding through Pilot Freight. Each delivery they are professional and ensure the complete setup is working properly before they depart. All items below I ordered through Amazon. I did purchase the Panny when Amazon and Panasonic was advertising this 65" monster with their blu-ray player with $300 off purchase price so I purchased the TV and Blu-ray for $2289.00 one outstanding deal!
I just completed my Media Room in my ROG and purchased the following:
- Polk Audio RM705 5.1 Home Theater System/Polk Audio RM6751 Satellite Speakers/Sanus Systems Wms5-B Wall Or Ceiling Speaker Mounts
- In my opinion these speakers are the best value for the sound quality I was seeking. When using the Sanus mounts the Polk
speakers must be mounted upside down for a ceiling install. Sanus mount kit comes with everything to install speakers. I
wish however Polk would of designed the mounting holes on top or bottom of speaker housing to accommodate wall or ceiling
installation.
- Yamaha RX-V863BL 735 Watt 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver
- This is an outstanding receiver, up converts HDMI signals to 1080P/HD receiver, does it all. This is my second Yamaha receiver
and still Yamaha has to work on their remotes, they are painful to program to control all devices.
- D-Link DGS-2205 5-Port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch
- Purchased this switch to connect my PS3 and Roku Netflix player to one RJ-45 cable. Worked excellent easy to setup.
- 3 Port Smart HDMI Switch by Game Infinity
- Ordered switch just in case, but did not have to install. However I did test switch in my family room setup and worked as
advertised no issues. Comes with remote also and auto switches fine.
- PlayStation 3 Slim
- Although I received a free blu-ray player with my 65" Panny I felt a PS3 was essential. Best value for the money now with the
$299 price tag and Netflix is teaming with Sony to Stream Videos if you have a Netflix account.
- Yamaha YDS-11SL Universal iPod Dock for Select Yamaha Home Theater Receivers
- Easy to install receiver detected docking station and IPOD, no issues.
- Logitech Harmony Adapter for Playstation 3
- Easy setup, plug and play
- Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote
- I gave up on the Yamaha receiver remote and ordered the Harmony One. Outstanding remote, it does take time to setup. I was
pleased with Logitechs database, they have over 5,000 electronic components available to program this remote. If it cannot find
your component, the Harmony One can learn the IR signal and you can actually type in the control feature into the software
provided to maintain the same functional capability as the original component remote.
I hope this helps anyone thinking of setting up a Media room, I am by no means an Audiophile or expert in electronics. I am very satisfied with room. I don't think I will be spending money at the Movies any further.
Enjoy, do not hesitate to purchase this Panasonic.
