Strengths: Awesome picture quality. 3 HDMI is a Plus and plenty of addition inputs (also programable). 1080P of course.
Weakness: None so far.
Well it's Panasonic! They make the best Plasma around I think. You can't go wrong with this model, I was able to pick it up at my local store for $1700 but the price went back up that very next day to $2500. Even at retail price, it's well worth the money and the investment, but don't pay more than the street price that other stores are selling it for. Shop around, be a smart consumer, there are...
Strengths: picture quality, ease of setup, options
Weakness: remote looks outdated
I am very happy about this tv. The picture quality is superb and it is very easy to use. I have watched several movies and the color and clarity is perfect. Installation was very easy with the supplied stand. The looks are good and simple. Menus are easy to navigate and set up.
Strengths: Great picture, brightness, PC input, SD card slot, sound quality
Weakness: Power consumption, shiny plastic frame
I replaced my Panasonic LCD projection with this TV and I could not be happier. The picture is so much better than my old TV. I was very surprised on how much better the picture looked and the brightness is great. The power consumption is higher than LCD but I think it is worth it. This unit is also lighter than the previous model. This unit has plenty of connections for all of your equipment,...
Strengths: This TV creates the best picture I have ever seen. It feels like I'm there!! HD-DVD and Bluray looks amazing and pictures are super crisp. Even standard TV looks good!
Weakness: None yet!
If you're even considering buying this plasma, just do it! It will be well worth your money! We upgraded from a previous 42" Panasonic plasma which we LOVED but decided to go for a new 1080P 50" version. Panasonic is definitely high quality, I am very impressed! Also, for those hesitant about the glare, we have a room full of windows and it's not a problem.
Strengths: outstanding picture quality.
Weakness: power consuption. At twice the power consuption of an LCD it makes you stop and think for a moment.
I like a lot of people was not sure wither to buy an LCD or plasma. I chose the plasma becouse at the end of all arguments plasma still has the best picture and thats what I was in the market for, HD. This plasma delivers Unbelievable picture quality. Panisonic has done themselfs proud on the plasma TV. I couldn't be happer.
Strengths: This T.v has Three HDMI inputs,loads of additional s-video, coaxal, and other necessary inputs; not to mention one of the Best HD pictures on the market!!
Weakness: The only weaknesses,if you could even call it that, would be its weight.Weighing in at almost 90 lbs. it definately takes two people to place the T.v appropriately.Not a weakness,though,my "opinion"
A true definition of the highest quality HD Plasma is found with this T.V This is the difference we've all been waiting for, a phenominal picture at an extraordinary price! This is why people buy plasma's and every meaning of the word,,,this T.V is liquid, giving one of the highest contrast ratios: 30,000:1, only available on the market if your spending six grand plus. It gives a whole new...
Strengths: Outstanding PQ, 3 HDMI inputs, Computer hook-up, 22lbs lighter and almost 2 inches thinner than the outgoing model
Weakness: None as of yet....
One of the highest quality HD Plasmas! It has a phenominal picture at an extraordinary price! The contrast ratio at 30,000:1 Native and 1,000,000:1 Dynamic, is one of the best I've ever seen. From the deepest richest Blacks to the brightest and most vibrant of neons and sharp pastels, I couldn't believe how warm and realistic the PQ was. I owned a LCD before this (Samsung 52"), and this by far...
Strengths: Vibrant colors and great contrast. Multiple In/Out jacks a plus.
Weakness: Non HDTV picture seem rough due to the screen size.
I am real pleased with this purchase. I shopped and compared quality and value and this widescreen met my expectations. It was fairly simple to add surround sound and other HD equipment due to the in/out jacks available, especially the side jack availabilty.I don't believe you will be dissapointed with this model.
Strengths: Great Color and clarity Easy to adjust to your own settings and preferences Good initial presets
Weakness: None thus far except a short power cord
This is my second Panasonic plasma and their quality of the picture continues to improve. The HD through my satellite is clear and the colors and picture are sharp. The set is easy to adjust to your own viewing preferences either through the presets or through the menus. There are several professional tuners who post their settings on the web for others to try. The blacks are very deep - better...

This TV puts Panasonic plasmas on a new pedestal
Strengths: High contrast, awesome picture and deep blacks.
Weakness: Weak sound.
I bought this TV after getting my first Panasonic plasma and since then I have been a Panasonic plasma aficionado. I have put this big screen in my living room. My dad is a NASCAR enthusiast. The very fast response time on this TV enables us to watch it in HD on this TV without any motion blur that we see on my brother's LCD. The result: Now we have more get togethers at my place. LOL!!! I have...
