Amazing is the only way to describe it. For the longest time I thought LCD was the way to go. But decided to take a serious look at plasma tvs, primarily because of inherent motion lag and color reproduction issues with lcd. Fancy technology such as 120 Hz still does not mask the problem to a trained eye. Once I decided to go with Plasma, I did a comparision between Pansonic, Pioneer & Samsung. Did a side by side comparison at Best Buy & found the Samsung to have the best picture quality.

I purchased a Samsung 650 Plasma and was amazed.. Understand, I didn't trust the internet purchase and was not sure if this was really the product I wanted. (LCD vs Plasma) No doubt the right decision. Process was safe with Amazon and the delivery Company was great.. The delivery company called to confirm the delivery, respectfully conversed with us, and pulled the TV out of the box, placed it on the table and showed me it was working as planned. Asked if I wanted the box or they would hold it for me. More about the the 650. Did I say WOW... I just wanted a tv I would be happy with and not regret my decision. LCD vs Plasma.. Tough decision. My co worker does this for a living and talked me out of a LCD ..Great move..Distance from the TV is 8- 18 feet. Love watching Football and Hockey. Great angle viewing and glare is not there. (I get alot of sunlight in the room) Sound is of good quality.
Bottom line, we all want a quality product and a good price. With the money I saved, I bought cables,

I have now had a month to view this TV and I must say I have no complaints. First, the delivery was flawless. The shipping company was on time, unpacked the TV, placed it on my stand and even took away the packaging. The viewing experience has to be experienced to be believed. I have an extensive DVD collection and also a smaller Blu Ray collection so I tried a good sample of both to get a feel for the quality of the display.
The Blu Ray disks are absolutely gorgeous. The Blue Planet disk showed the blue color as well as my old Sony. I always thought that Sony did the best job with color accuracy especially the blues but I must say this set matched Sony if not exceeded it.
I am very pleased with this plasma especially considering the reasonable price.

I looked for around 6 months for a new HDTV to replace a Sony XBR1 40" I've had for several years. After spending way to much time reading CNETs reviews, I settled upon this TV.
The performance is excellent. It certainly has better image quality than my Sony LCD, both when watching movies (due to the excellent contrast), and when watching fast moving basketball, in which my sony LCD would occasionally have motion artifacts. I think much of the LCD motion artifact thing has gone away with high end LCDs these days.
If you are a video nut that wants to change every aspect of the settings, you need to get the elite model, which is basically the same TV, but with all the settings opened up. You only get basic settings with this model. However, it has a mode that I personally like called "Optimum", where the TVs sensors detect what type of picture is being displayed along with the ambient room conditions and adjust accordingly. So far I've left it on that and it has been great. I have

Pros: Good picture, lots of inputs. Works well with my PC (DVI to HDMI cable). Cons: Gets a little hot. Menu kinda sucks. When you turn on the TV it doesn't go to the active input. You have to scroll with the remote everytime. Sound is ok, but i never expect too much from TV speakers. For the price this is a better choice than a Panasonic, imo. I've had it for 3 months now. Amazon white glove delivery was great.

Ive had this tv for a couple of weeks now and I am extremly satisfied. The color is amazing, and the blacks are deep and rich. And for the price you wont find anything comparable. I did a lot of research before this purchase and everything I read pointed me towards this tv. CNET.com is a great site to do your research on. If your concerned about the red tint on the border of the tv, dont be. It doesnt light up or anything (I thought it did) and it is hardly noticeable. Dont let that sway you one way or another.
The price on amazon is, as usual one of the cheapest around. There was one other site that was less expensive but I never dealt with that web site before and shipping was extra. When I purchased this tv from amazon it was only about [...]bucks more and the shipping was included. Also the shipping was white glove into my living room and actually arrived a day earlier then they promised! They did call me ahead of time to make sure it was okay they delivered early and of course I said

If you're purchasing (or thinking about purchasing) this TV, chances are, this is your first venture into the wonderful world of HDTV's. This was the case with me. I'll keep it short. I got this tv for around 765, shipping included. This TV was SO worth it. I haven't regretted the purchase for 1 moment. The black levels are deep, the colors are vibrant, and there are no false contours that I have been able to perceive. All things I was worried about before the purchase. I could not tell you the difference between a 1080 and 720 on the 42" screen. The picture is impeccable. If you have the money and are wondering if the purchase is worth it, just know that this TV completely satisfied my needs. And if you're new to the HDTV world, it will satisfy yours, too. (Just do it... )

I got this TV b/c cnet seemed to rave about it. I had a TH-50PX600U and that was a nice TV and I'm a big panasonic fan, but this TV I can definitely notice an improvement in quality from my cable HD channels, even though both are from the same 720p signal. In addition, watching Blu-Ray from this is beautiful (I'm using a PS3). I'm really happy with the purchase. One recommendation for anyone owning this TV is to use custom settings and not use the settings that are default.

However lets remember that the THX mode can be adjusted!!!! Panasonic's default settings for THX are just wrong. The CNET reviewer, using a completely dark room, adjusted the THX settings considerably upward from their default settings. Just for the sake of example - CNET increased the picture setting from 50 to 100 for their review.
I'd suggest that anyone owning this set start with

I have had ours since July of this year, I have a bunch of kids & was leary of the track record of some of these other manufacturers, in regards to warranty assistance SHOULD the need arrive!
I tried (I repaeat TRIED!!) to contact several manufacturer's that were in the running for my consideration, in regards to their warranties, WHO, WHERE HOW...etc would I send/take my humongous plasma to?
I am VERY rural (in the hills of TN!) MOST of them required I SHIP it to them!Do you know how big those boxes are that they come in? & the logistics of repacking it.........NOPE! "It aint a-happenin'!"
Anyhow.... after MUCH deliberation & research I went with Panasonic (as their warranty is into your home should you need a repair, WOW!! :-)
I bought this an older model with GREAT comsumer reviews,& a good value as the newermodels come out the price continues to fall! I have been EXTREMELY pleased, & nothings happened so far to need any warranty work! The TV is crisp & clear, plays beautiful

THIS NEW PLASMA PANASONIC REPLACED A 1 YR OLD VIZIO LCD 32 INCH AND WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE! IM NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE SPECS OF THE PANASONIC(WHICH YOU CAN FIND EASILY BY OTHER REVIEWS AND PRODUCT DESCRIPTION), BUT I MUST SAY I LOVE THIS TV. IT HAS A MUCH BETTER, BRIGHTER, CLEARER PICTURE THAN MY VIZIO. THE SET UP WAS EASIER AS WELL...I TOOK IT OUT OF THE BOX, PUT THE STAND ON, RUN A HDMI TO MY HDTV CABLE RECORDER, PLUGGED IN TO ELECTRICAL SURGE PROTECTOR AND PRESSED THE POWER BUTTON...I DID NOT ADJUST ANY SETTINGS...AND WAS AMAZED AT THE QUALITY OF THE PICTURE. I CAN STOP WATCHING TV NOW...WHICH IS THE ONLY DRAWBACK(LOL). I RESEARCHED HDTV'S FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND ALMOST BOUGHT THE SAMSUNG, BUT THE PANASONIC HAD A BETTER PRICE. GET THIS TV AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY REGRETS. BTW, I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND HAD NO PROBS AT ALL.

I purchased the Samsung PN42A450 42in Plasma a couple of months ago. I couldn't be happier. Did a lot of reseach and looked at the reviews on Amazon. Has an excellent picture, easy to adjust and makes watching HD a completely new experience. Went with the 720p vs the 1080 and can't tell the difference. I am not a real technical person so the reviews with all the details helped. I would recommend shopping in the stores to see the picture first then when you have made your decision compare the stores and on line.

This TV has been very good so far. I hooked it up to my surround sound and other than the sometimes annoying backwards feel of the remote nothing has been less than excellent. The picture is great and the TV is so good that it even almost completely unscrambles the channels on my cable that I would otherwise have to pay for. All in all, great TV for the price at the time that I bought it (sept. '08).

I went in shopping for a 58in Panasonic or 60in Pioneer plasma with a $3000-4000 budget that I'd keep for at least five years like our last tv. While comparing how the picture quality in person looked, the price of this 50in Panasonic TH-50PX80U caught my eye at $1300. Sure it's 720p, but we're at least another year or two out for content in 1080p to be more available especially via cable. I already had a bunch of non blue-ray dvd's and I simply didn't value the improvement that blue-ray dvd's offer to either buy or even rent them. Yes, the blacks looked better on the Pioneer, but only when you're comparing side by side.
I almost still went for the newest 58in Panasonic just because the exterior design is a lot slicker with it's large continuous flat surface. However, when Amazon randomly dropped the price to just below $1000 with free shipping, I couldn't resist. Combined with the $250 in Amazon certificates I already had, I got an awesome 50in Panasonic plasma for $750.

This TV has a very good quality picture and excellent sound. I have a Samsung 5.1 surround sound system but for ordinary television viewing, the Panasonic TV sounds as good as the sound system. Panasonic is a great, reliable brand when it comes to plasmas. And if you're concerned about plasma burn-in, don't be. I did lots of research before this purchase and the consensus is that burn-in is NOT an issue with modern plasmas such as this one. I've had absolutely no burn-in issues since buying this plasma. I definitely recommend this product, but I give four stars because I generally reserve five-stars for products that are really one-of-a-kind.

The Shipment only took a week. And before the drop off, I got contacted by the carrier.
The TV was the perfect choice for our living room. Just the right size. the picture quality is excellent and with the speakers in the front the audio is fantastic as well.
If I had to make that choice again, it would be the exact same one!

Look at the picture & forget about the price, other reviews mentioned how much this TV cost, I will not. Why? Because, when your focus is to get the best TV out there the price should comes second. To me, this is the one. I watch this TV from about 13 feet away and have a direct TV DVR receiver connected by monster 1000 HDMI cable. Wow!
Here is a double Wow! Get the Panasonic Blue-ray Disc player DMP-BD30 will do and connect it to this TV set by HDMI connection, get the "planet earth" Blue-ray CD and you will experience audio/video Shock & Awe.
I am not bias to Panasonic, in fact the only Panasonic I ever purchased in my life was a panasonic wireless telephone, 6 years old and still going... So I figured the TV would be as durable, so far so good.
Hey, if price is the issue, an average person will keep a good TV set 5 to 7 years. Now divide the cost by the amount of years you think you will keep this TV. Got it?
Au revoir mes amis, I am going to watch TV

This is my 3rd flat panel tv, and by far the best in terms of picture clarity and features.
I have no complaints. The picture is vivid, crisp, and satisfying.
There are plenty of hdmi, component, and other inputs so no worries there. And they all work, unlike my westinghouse unit. The unit was easy to assemble (4 screws to the base) the online menus are easy to use, and the price here at amazon was better than at any store. Free delivery and no sales tax were a bonus.
I don't use blueray discs so 720p is fine. The $400 premium for 1080p wasn't worth it to me.
Hint: Use a premium credit card that doubles the warranty from 1 year to 2. Panasonic warranty service is in-home or mail in, your choice.
Very pleased with this tv so far.

I teach film and wanted something that would enhance my viewing experience without overwhelming my medium sized, 14 wide by 20 living area. This TV is perfect and the sound, unlike some of the smaller Samsungs, is very good. While not the theatrical surround sound experience, the down facing speakers work well and produce realistic tones whether you are listening to voice or music. They also allow for a clean appearance which is further enhanced by the touch of red screen. If you are not the techie type and cringe at hooking up one more wire or don't want to lay out another $500 on sound, you should be quite happy with this set just the way it is.
My couch is about 12 feet from the screen, while the arm chairs go as close as 6. I find this distance just about perfect for watching the 50 inch screen. I've even had a few friends comment that they almost felt dizzy watching large, fast moving, objects on the screen. If you are wondering how big to go, I personally don't think paying $$$

This entry level Panny plasma is just what I needed for my bedroom wall - and without the extra cost of upper tier units. I think the price is right at $799 with free shipping. Awesome. I was also able to find a smokin price on the extended warranty from DTVExpress/XpreServ - which has a great rating and gaurantee. As far as the TV goes the black levels are incredible as well as color and there is a discernable difference in the brightness level from past Panasonic plasma models. Since I dont watch much TV during daytime in my bedroom, ambient light is not an issue so plasma is the obvious choice (better picture than LCD). The one drawback I've noticed is a slight moire' pattern in stairs, blinds or verticle/horizontal lines. It's a challenge for all TVs so tihs is not surprising but it's something I can help but notice.

I bought this tv three weeks ago, CEVA delivered within 7 days of ordering, great delivery, they delivered within 24 hours of scanning the item into my local CEVA hub. They brounght the TV in, took it out of the box, set it on my stand and made sure it worked. I signed for it and they were off within 25 minutes.
The TV is truly amazing. I can honestly say that I have never seen a better picture. No issues whatsoever with this set so far. HD sports are unbelievable and even SD cable is very nice. TV gets a little warm to the touch but certainly not hot. The remote wheel takes a little getting use to but is not bad IMO. The sound on the set is surprisingly better than I expected. I will be hooking up 7.1 but haven't purchased the receiver yet.
If you are in the market for a TV this one will not let you down. I was a little disappointed that as of Sept 1 Amazon will no longer give you the price reduction when they mark something down from the time you order to the time it's delivered. Two
