Unfortunately, David is correct about Panasonic. Wish I had seen his post before my unfortunate decision to purchase a 55 inch 3D tv from them. Everything he says is correct. In the 13 months we have owned the tv, it has Never worked! It has been in for repair countless times, and yet their reply is always, “send it back in for repair”. Avoid Panasonic like the plague unless you enjoy talking to customer service idiots with difficult to understand speech, who can make no decisions on their own!
