Yup! Here is info from AVS [avsforum.com] in case you get one, may want to use some of these settings (after break-in).

Looks like a pretty good deal. I'm strongly considering biting. Thanks

For those eligible, this TV is $575 on panasonic EPP.

EPP charges tax/restocking fee. My sister got one from EPP, motherboard died 20 mins after delivery. She had a hell of a time getting them to pick it up and get a refund, as they wanted her to go through warranty.

i might try and get it from costco

Would Amazon price match the model at Sams [samsclub.com] for $599?

Assuming the same price, buying from Costco has always been my preference. You get dinged with tax, but the included 2 year warranty + 1 yr AMEX warranty has always been worth it. Plus, returns at Costco are the easiest - bar none

Nice find. If I were in the market, I'd snap one up.

Pretty sure Amazon stopped price matching for televisions. And even if they were to price match, it'd have to be the exact same model number.

Edit: I see that they have the low price guarantee on this model. Nonetheless, the model has to be an exact match. (This is how a lot of merchants skirt by the price match policy)

Yeah the Costco model number is slightly different (54). Seems like it'd be hard to convince them it's the same model.

Im considering this TV. How does it compare to the LG 50PA5500? I'm not an expert, and would appreciate any advise. The LG seems to have a much higher Contrast Ratio: 3,000,000:1. The HDMI inputs are a non issue to me, I run everything thru AVR then single it out to the TV.
