Pros:
field-of-view angle, brightness, weight
Cons:
colors, sound, VCR not- friendly

The picture is pretty nice and clear except colors: these are worse compare to most competitors. Good TV to watch indoor shows but not movies. This Panasonic beats all other rear projectors in field-of-view angle, widest on market! Brightness is pretty good but you have to wait about 5 minutes untill it reaches normal level after turn the TV on. The quality of sound/speakers the same as small 20-inches TV, poor sound.
DVD and digital cable box: no problem, nice picture. About VCR: the image (using Hi-Fi stereo VCR and two-months old videotape) is badly destorted in one-inch-wide area along top edge of TV screen.
Don't forget about projection lamp: the max. life time accordingly users manual is 3,000-5,000 hours (or 1-2 years): so, you have to spend $300+ to reaplace it after a while (check the lamp price on Yahoo, part# TY-LA1500).
Finally I have returned this TV back to store. Instead, I'm going to buy Sony KV34HS510 34" widescreen classic-tube model.
