Rating : - What is going on in Japan
I bought this set to replace a Sony rear projection LCD. The LCD was giving up the ghost and screen slowly turning all blue from the bottom up. I bought the TV when it first came out and paid almost $2k for it. Well I bought this set to replace it and now find out they have a built in problem and the picture is intentionally lowered black levels over time, for longevity I understand. Mine looks great as I write this but feel like I've been taken advantage of and Panasonic was not transparent with this product, if this is the case. Hopefully they don't walk away from the problem like Sony ALWAYS does, they sell nothing but JUNK and bottom line is all they care about. In light of all the Toyota/Lexus problems one has to ask themselves if the Japanese have also become so profit driven they've lost sight of what made them the quality standard in so many product areas. If Panasonic reps read this I hope you rise to the occasion and make it right with those of us who trusted you like Toyota is attempting to do now. I'll update this as time goes on and pray it ends up a good experience as I'm retired and can not afford additional expense.

*****I'm having the problem this is highly publicized black level/contrast intentionally programmed in these sets.
At this writing I haven't contacted Panasonic, hopefully they make this right...... I'll keep posting and adjust my review accordingly.
