Great deal

I bought this for my husband for an anniversary present.  Not only did he tell me he loved it, he's banned the children from touching it at all and seems to be guarding it with his life.  I haven't bought him anything this extravagant for him in a long time.  So I guess he plans on savoring it.  I'm so happy that he's happy.

After researching TVs for the better part of the past year, I was almost ready to buy a very popular 40 inch LCD TV.  Although I didn't get a chance to play any PlayStation 3 on that set, I did attempt gaming on a comparable LCD.  Motion blur, input lag, and the weird look 120Hz processing imparts on the image made me change my mind.  None of these problems are present in plasma televisions, and this is the best plasma under $1500. 

The TV itself looks very good with its all glossy-black color scheme.  It helps make it look a little more expensive than it actually is, and this display will...

Great Product!

Our HD Projection TV died after 10 years. After a quick market study of LCD vs. Plasma and many salesperson opinions, while shopping we had an impromptu meeting with a purchaser of TV repair parts who gave us some Brand names to avoid we chose this Panasonic Plasma which arrived yesterday. It was easy to set up with new Cox Digital Service. Once the HD Channels were displaying we knew we had made the best choice. The colors and crisp clarity was fantastic! Well worth the wait as these new ones just started shipping and are just now hitting the market. I'll see how the rest of the hook-ups go but... read full review »

Amazing picture, what an upgrade from my 34" Sony XBR CRT.  The black levels are great.  I live in Colorado and the altitude is no problem, no buzzing or problems.  I love the picture quality.  The picture has very rich saturated colors and it doesn't have the Soap Opera affect that really bugs me on some of the new 120Hz LCD sets.  I've very impressed with the quality.  I used to by a Sony man, but I'm loving this set.

This was Sears gift to me for being the top salesman in my district for plasma televisions during the holiday season, and what a gift it really is.  With stunning colors and deep blacks, this TV is really a gem in the 09 scheme of things.  More than enough inputs for the average person, including 3 sets of HDMI, 2 component, and a digital optical output, this should have everything you need to hook up your gaming systems, your home theater system, and whatever else you may need.

One thing that really got me was that this was my jump from standard definition television to high definition television...

Good Set

I bought a returned version of this television a couple of weeks ago from Sears at a great price. The picture is definitely clearer than the previous 50 inch model I that bought last year which I moved upstairs in my master bedroom (I still love this one). The sound quality is very good also but I did discover that you need an optical out cable if you don't have an HDMI capable device (my 3 year old Bose home theater system). That was minor and I was able to find a connector on line for $15. But I have noticed that the picture definitley seems darker than last year's set (i.e. brightness is around... read full review »

Planned to buy an HDTV for awhile, took the plunge about 4 months ago, and loving it.

I originally bought a VIZIO LCD tv, took it home - set it up - and ended up returning it when I found out the VIZIO logo on the bottom of the TV was lit up and you can't turn it off.  Gave it 3 days but just to darned distracting.

Search began again and I stumbled on this TV off a bargain shopper site, Sears had it on special for 899.99.  Got it in store for the price too, the rep priced matched it for me off sears.com. I researched the TV and can't find anything negative about it online, its all good.

4 months...

Great Plasma Television

Purchased this television online and picked it up in store.  Sears pickup was quick and easy.  Television is very easy to setup, but it takes two people to ensure that you don't damage anything.  Many people are concerned about heat when comparing plasma televisions to LCD.  The Neo PDP display produces no noticeable heat.  The color is good and the image resolution is exceptional.  We've had the television for a few weeks and I still look at it and go "wow, nice picture."  I read lots of reviews online before choosing this television.  The X1 is a step below and the G series is a step...

Panasonic TC-P50S1

Great sound. Nice picture. Looked at a lot of flat screens at Sears and they all looked pretty much the same, except for the Samsung. However, it was much more money. The Panasonic is weak in color. The colors sometimes look like easter egg colors. Other than that, the brightness in standard and cinema mode are a little dark. However, I will put the picture mode on vivid after the burn in period is over. Panasonic tech. help is great. The have a toll free number, to answer any questions or concerns.

I have had this Panny hooked up for a couple of weeks now and couldn't be happier. Originally, after doing extensive research, walked in to a Sears to see the real deal.

The model, P50S1, was on sale for $999, and with all reviews raving about this TV, I decided now's the time.

A Sears technician arrived to install the next business day, just prior to the HD dish (Direct TV) insallation and all is well.

Also purchased the Panny Blue Ray player, an HDMi 6' cable, a 3 year warranty and a beautiful "Bello" wood framed stand.

The picture quality is outstanding even in in a well lit living room. It's...

Panasonic 50 in. Plasma Full HD (1080p

What's great about it: Everything, The picture, sound, very user friendly and ENERGY STAR qualified. What's not so great: Nothing, Very Happy and GREAT price "I just bought the Model: TC-P50S1 two days ago. Went home and had it running within 20 minutes. The picture looks 10 times better at home. When I first turned it on I only had basic cable and the picture was still GREAT. Now I have HD cable and even better. I did not buy the step up model because I will never use the ethernet connection for VIERA CAST (IPTV) functionality which lets you enjoy great online entertainment via the built-in Web... read full review »

Super TV

The picture on this tv is phenomenal! As good or better picture than LCDs I've seen costing much more. The sound from TV was good, but was not surround sound and instructions were unclear as to how to get surround sound (connected through BluRay player) when watching HDTV through cable box With help from more knowledgeable friends, I accomplished result by connecting cable box to TV via HDMI cable, muted TV sound, then connected cable box to BluRay with optical or RCA audio cable and controlled sound via BluRay player.
