My order is nine days old. In that time my Estimated Shipment has shown four different estimated shipping dates, the latest of which is 1-3 business days. It's on day 2 of showing that. Still the Order Status says Order Processing. My case may be unique because of the ship to address.Anyone have this set in hand yet?

In the following video we will show you the Network Wi-Fi connection process for the 2015 Panasonic VIERA televisions series CX600, CX650, CX800, CX850, CS540, CS560 and CX900. This video will show you the process to select your language, country, viewing environment, setting up a network connection, setting the cable antenna, scanning channels and setting the clock.
I have been using a Panasonic Plasma TC-P55ST30, that I loved the picture on, but it was taken out due to a lightning strike. I was hopeful Panasonic's new "highly talked about" TC-65CX850 would be a great replacement but I'm not so sure. I installed it 3 days ago and have tried to work through the settings to eliminate the issues that will follow but my efforts have failed so far. I know there are a ton of settings, so maybe I'm still missing the mark on the setup. (Hopefully the pictures attached show through enough to allow everyone to see my concerns with the TV. They were shot with a Nikon D5100.)
I've attached a few pictures of House of Cards in 4K from Netflix.
The Straight on picture is pretty good but just a bit overdone on the colors.
The Slight Angle, approximately 15 degrees, is a great picture. The over-saturation is gone and the clarity is really good.
Now for the Angle and Sharp Angle, anything over 25 degrees. The entire screen appears to be bleached by the LED lighting and the picture appears pixelated. I thought full array TVs didn't have the bleaching issue since the light wasn't entering from the sides. This may be the killer for us since this TV is mounted on the long wall of our living room so some of the seating is outside this viewing angle.
When I switched over to antenna signal the issues intensify. I snapped a few photos of whatever soap opera is on at this time to show the bleaching and pixelating effects. We also noticed significant jumping when watching Wayward Pines last night as the camera followed them walking up a sidewalk. If was almost as though it couldn't keep up with a feed however this was over the air so there shouldn't have been any issues like that.
On the other hand, when I play a few videos from YouTube the set looks and performs amazing. There is very little "bleaching" when viewing from the sides. Not sure what the difference is.
If this is how 2015 LED TVs perform, I'm surprised nobody commented on these issues after CES or the other international shows. Makes me think I need to adjust something. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Also, those of you who are posting photos, can you take a minute and stand about 30 degrees to the side and let me know if you are having the same issues?
BTW, for everything that was good about my Kuro, also BTW $4,336 in 2007 dollars new with tax, the ATSC tuner was pretty pathetic. Really struggled unless signal was very strong.ATSC tuner might suck or be borken
I haven't figured out if there is a common pattern.I had stuttering problems with H264 files.
HEVC plays fine.
