Only after Zenith went kapoot, did I research and decide on Panasonic large screen plasmas. I (and most folks on various forums), agree Panasonic produces one of the better sets on todays market. So, jump forward to March 2010 when I wanted something larger than the 65 inch in the HT room. Even though DLP is showing it's age with plasma, LCD and LED sets, it still holds it's own in quality, and price value -- unless you have an extra Hundred thousand dollars laying around to buy a flat screen tv the size of this Mitz. DLPs drawback of course is it wont hang on the wall, and does take a little space "depth" wise. In my case, there is plenty of room, so, no problem. The set arrived in the biggest cardboard box I have ever seen in my life. Unboxing was however, easy. Removing the protective film/tape around the edges of the set was more difficult than it should have been and Mitz should change this. The usual XBox, Wii, blueray equipment connects easy with RGB or HDMI outlets in the rear of the set. The set is extremely intelligent even turning its self on when you power up equpment like the blueray dvd. It even reconizes if you have connected a blueray, XB, or Wii to it if you use HDMI connections.

The set has a base stand, but setting it on the floor was to low for us, requiring the purchase of a Bell'O AVS 2763HG stand (from Amazon) -- This stand is made specifically for the 82" Mitz according to BellO. The stand, or should I say table, brings the set up to a very good height for viewing and also allows you to install the center channel of your surround sound speaker on one of it's shelves directly under the center of the set.

The picture quality of this Mitz 82" set is very good. It might not be as good as the panasonic 57", but comeon, this set's picture is 25 inchs larger and thus some loss of picture resolution should be expected. Dont get me wrong, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the picture, especially if the signal is a live hdtv feed from direct tv, like a sporting event.

Not a lot of problems with remote since I have small fingers, but the buttons are close and small and I do wish Mitz would have spend another 50 cents to put some back lighting for the remote controler's buttons. The TV has it's own speakers, but wont rate them since they are not used in our system. One of the best cosmetic features of this set is the very small trim surrounding the actual tv screen. When you look at the set, it appears to be "ALL SCREEN".

OH, best of all, since this set is 3-D ready, I am told Mitz will have their 3-D equipment for sale including a kit with four shutter glasses, several 3d movies, and optical sync unit.... suppost to be out in middle of June. Understand the 3-D kit will sell for about four hundred dollars (hope Amazon has for less).

Side to side viewing is not bad at all and viewing up to at least 60* from center (max for our HT room) yields no loss of brightness or quality. OH, did I say that the DLP replacement bulbs are not near as costly as other brands (I wont say the four letter brand starting with the letter "S"), and replacing your DLP light source will cost you less than 100 dollars. No one at Mitz (or anywhere else) can give bulb life length, but hoping it wont be going out for a while.

Bottom line, if you have the space for this set, and want to have a really BIG and every NICE tv, you will have it And 82. As far as I March 2010 to the owner of 5 stars (lines).
