I bought this TV used from a friend. The bulb was blown so I got a GREAT deal. After a little yahoo search I found a replacement bulb for $85 plus shipping. Installed bulb and I was blown away by how the screen looks. GREAT Picture!!!!!!!

Only down side is that it cant do both componet inputs with PIP.

With the Bulb only $85 I can afford to keep a replacement on hand. And with as much TV that is watched in my house I will be replacing it every year.

Set has light circles noticeable when dark object is on screen. Found out they're dust particles. Warranty technician got rid of most by disassembling lower unit and vacuuming fan tract but tv needs complete disassembly, some particles are further in! Didn't realize bulb was so expensive. Trying to return set

Sharp display due to 1280x720 resolution. Unit is less than 100 lbs.

Sound level changes between channels/commercials. Not capable of level 0 black. 1-1/2" grey-filled circles scattered on the screen when viewing scenes with black background/images.

While viewing scenes with black background there are (4) scattered circles about 1-1/2' diameter that are brighter than the rest of the screen. The number of these circles on the screen continue to increase. Store manager claims that guns might need to be realligned. I have this problem after 34 days from delivery??? Black display is more of dark grey rather than true black(level 0). Pictures are sharp, but color is not as vibrant as newer CRT or Plasma based tvs.The base unit only has controls for Power, Channel, and Volume. $300 bulb that lasts from 3,000 to 5,000 hours depending on use/abuse. Even with BBE on, sound levels change between commercials or channels. Consider a Mitsubishi WT-A42 for less than $1800 ...

NO MUTE ON AV OUT!!! That is right if you have a Surround Sound system and hit mute...it does not work!!!!

This Panasonic model PT40LC12 has superior video and provides more than adequate connections for all the add-ons you might have such as DVD, Surround Sound, and PC. YES PC connector right on the front.
