Bought my Panasonic Viera TC-P55ST50 a month ago from Video Only for $1249. Very nice TV, but it does not have an anti-glare screen like my prior 2007 Panasonic Plasma TH-50PC77U. The 77U still works fine, but I wanted 1080 instead of 720, and a larger screen. In my searching it seemed like the ones with 3D had the better reviews, even though I didn't want/need 3D. Of course, most Plasma TV's use quite a bit more electricity than LCD/LED's.
I haven't really adjusted the picture yet - I found the "Game" mode and like the picture so have left it on that for now. Have to get back to the AVS forum to correctly adjust the picture.
I use a wireless headset, and tried one of the D/A converters, but couldn't get it to work with the headset. So I just plugged the headset audio into the audio-out on my cable box. It's just stereo, but that's all I need. The volume control is separate from the TV's volume control, which works for me. LyleH
