Its level of detail is also very impressive for a plasma of this caliber. However, some people might find some colors to be washed out and dull, but then again, every review, every assessment is relative to the viewers tastes.

As for its audio quality, the Panasonics’ was phenomenal when matched against competing sets’ built-in speakers. The audio strained when the volume is turned all the way up, but at two-thirds of maximum volume, you could hear every quiet detail of a movie’s soundtrack.
