I am totally happy with the Panasonic LCD TV. The Amazon price is very competitive, and I received the TV without delay. I chose to go to the freight carrier to personally pick it up, however I could have waited another day for delivery to my home.
I am very familiar with Panasonic and know that they are a reliable manufacturer and deliver excellent products. This TV is no exception, the hook up is simple, however I recommend purchasing an HDMI cable since it does not come with one. You do not need an expensive cable at all, as the inexpensive HDMI cables work fine.
I use DirecTV, and with the TV connected to my satellite receiver with an HDMI cable, I receive an excellent digital picture on all channels without subscribing to the HD service.
You will need to check your existing satellite receiver to be sure that it has an HDMI port, otherwise you should upgrade to a newer satellite receiver with an HDMI port. Without the HDMI hookup, you will only receive analog signals and not the clear, digital signals that will make your TV viewing much more pleasurable.
Unless you are a hardcore TV fanatic, you'll be delighted with the Panasonic LCD 1080p 120hz g series TV hooked up with just an HDMI cable to your satellite receiver. The satellite receiver does not have to be an HD compatible receiver, it just needs to have an HDMI port.
I highly recommend this product and did quite alot of research prior to my purchase. You will not be disappointed with Panasonic or Amazon.com.
Hope this review helps, as I always gain alot of quality information from other reviews prior to items that I purchase. Good Luck and Keep the Faith!

Overall excellent quality LCD TV. Sound could be better but the picture quality is top notch with plenty of adjustments. The options allow you to turn down or turn off the 120hz refresh rate. Also you can chose between HD size 1 or HD size 2 which allows the signal to be scaled to 95% of the image (in case of edge noise) or the full 100%. Swivel base is sturdy and useful and the remote is ok too. For those of you who are torn between a 32" and 37" for a medium size bedroom get the 37". Originally I purchased the 32" G1 which was a mistake. I'm about 9 feet from the set and 32" was too small for sports games the 37" is spot on. Can't go wrong with this top of the lineup model from Panasonic. As always Amazon is awesome, returned and received the new TV all within a few days.

I have had this set for about 2 months now. Limited by space to 37". Amazon delivery was prompt and set arrived in good shape. My main criteria for purchasing was picture quality; I am not too interested in home theater or surround sound. I'm very happy with the set overall--I'm using a component video connection, not HDMI, and colors and sharpness are excellent. There are many color and picture adjustments available so that you can fine-tune to your liking; I would definitely back off from most of the factory presets, especially brightness. Doing so will give you more natural color rendition and may prolong the life of your screen. Sound quality is OK for my needs, which are minimal. I don't notice any buzzing or distortion. I called Panasonic a few times when setting up and experienced short wait times and helpful answers. I am very glad that the screen has what might be called a semi-matte surface. Many newer sets are now using a shiny, clear glass overlay, which will reflect any nearby light source much more noticeably than the matte.
On the downside: no USB port, only audio-out port is optical. There is some color banding in gradient color backgrounds, but this is apparently quite common in flat-panels and mostly visible in commercials, so who cares.
If overall picture quality is the main driver for your purchase, this is an excellent choice.

This was my first wide screen TV and it took a lot of research to pick one. I wanted something that had a good reputation and wasn't built in China. This Panasonic is a winner and I'm happy with it.
