Panasonic TC P50S2 review by plasma TV buying guide, May 17, 2010
By LCDTVBuyingGuide (Atlanta, GA)
1080p HD picture quality: the picture presentation of the from the 50S2 is still very bright and much improved with the improved black levels. Black levels are deep and strong with an HD signal input through HDMI. While not the best we've seen lately, they loose can display with a 480i signal the dark gray haziness that the S2. Color is plenty saturated and dark shadow detail remains excellent.

Picture presentation from 480i signal: we always test every TV with a 480i resolution. It is a great test of a TV upconversion and processing chip sets. The signal may be likened to what you would see with your normal digital cable or satellite signal.The TC P50S2 series plasma contains the new an updated version of the NEO PDP (i.e. plasma screen) from Panasonic. This is the screen same used in some of the higher end Panasonic series which should make this model a good value if picture quality is your primary objective. We find the picture quality overall improved from the prior S1 series. The drives do a little better job of eliminating motion artifacts than the S1 series did. Color rendition is still progress with black levels being the primary area of the S2 series delivering more depth and solidity. As was the case on the S1 series, brightness is a strength of the these newer Panasonic plasma models.

Calibration notes: Overall, calibration to D6500K what very easy with this TV. Though there are no white balance adjustments available on the menu without entering the service menu, the 50S2 calibrated so close to D65 from the start that it would have improved the TV inappreciably. We started our calibration from the custom setting in the warm temperature 2 color position. The S2 series TV does not contain the THX picture setting option. Follow the following settings to calibrate to a nearly perfect D65. These picture settings are best viewed in a controlled light environment fairly dark room:

Picture mode: Custom
Color temp: Warm2
Brightness: + 74
Contrast: + 75
Color: + 45
Tint:-2
Sharpness: + 15
Color Mgmt: OFF
•x.v.colour: OFF
C.A.T.S.: OFF
Video NR: Weak
Block NR: Off
Misquito NR: Off
Black level: Light
3: 2 Pulldown: Off
HD size: 2

Black level/contrast: black levels were an area that the S1 series needed a makeover on. They got it with this s2 series. These are not going to be the best black levels we see this year and we don't anticipate them coming close to some of the Samsung plasma black levels. However, Panasonic has brought black levels focus welcomed back into. Final ANSI contrast measurement what 1261: 1 which is a nice improvement over last year but far from what we want. One of the TVs greatest strengths lies in its white brightness which measured on average luminance of 31.50. This result nears LCD TVs in brightness and points to Panasonic's desire to compete with LCD TVs in this area.

Dark shadow detail: partly due to the high brightness of this plasma dark shadow detail is excellent. Panasonic plasma TVs have long been a favorite of ours in this important area.

Color rendition/color accuracy: Color rendition is much more saturated with HD content. The TV excels with HD content and is much more subdued in presentation with lower signals. Colors can seem a little weak and hazy at times with lower end signals. I will give them the thumbs up on reality however.

Features: One of the key feature by Panasonic is from Scythe differences of the S2 series with the G20 series of plasma the of the Viera cast feature set, which enables online content via a web interface. As a result, there is therefore no Ethernet port. The included VIERA link feature allows the user to control other VIERA link capable outboard equipment. Viera image viewer is the Panasonic compatible technology which enables use of SD memory card viewing via the SD card slot.The S2 has discrete picture settings for each input as well as Panasonic's new "600 Hz" specification for blur reduction.

This TV is energy star compliant due to energy saver feature option to. Power consumption for the S2 has been reduced from the S1. This is one of the main feature differences aside from improved black levels. Panasonic started improving efficiency in their plasma TVs in 2007 and have improved it 400% with this s2 model. They are now close enough to LCDs in energy efficiency that is should not matter.

Another fantastic Panasonic article, April 23, 2010
By j. Blais
This review is from: Panasonic TC L32U22 32-inch 1080p LCD HDTV (electronics)
Bought this TV for the bedroom. It has a fantastic picture and sound quality. A great feature is the automatic image adjustment based on ambient room lighting, saves having to mess around with the image if table lamp page flip. The color of factory presets actually support the intended display, example: cinema setting more looks like film.

The only thing this set does not have that I would have is an IP/Ethernet port. Otherwise, I am very happy. Many HDMI ports to.

Store review updates... Very impressed., April 6, 2009
Elsee "Elsee" (USA)
While you walk the long island of small HDTV's... A things stand-Out immediately of this Panasonic TV
Compared to all the other t.v.'s (which have been in a long line)... we noticed when we stayed at a "angle", the Panasonic image crisp and sharp were. "The majority of other 32" HDTV's are at an angle "washed out".
99.5% of "size all other exact" HDTV's... was from the focus or "dim".... when viewed at an angle.

This is very important (my husband and I), because this Panasonic HDTV... is always.... people show in angle. (No couch or Chair will be directly in this TV)

We saw this Panasonic model in "Three stores". "Hands down, this 32 had" Panasonic HDTV the sharpest images and best "true color"... compared to all the other 32 "HDTV. Class has in it.

Blows LCD April away, 13, 2010
By Nitro Bandit (Phoenix, AZ, USA)
This Pannasonic G25 is amazing. Clear, crisp picture. Colours are amazing compared to an LCD. She would never know the difference unless you have seen a plasma. Unfortunately a bad rap got shy Plasmas years ago and people away from you. This model (like others including Samsung) devices have built in the image storage elimination. Follow the break in the first 100 hours and you have nothing to worry about. The sound level arent bad, you probably a surround system anyways so it irrelevant. This image gets better and better, as it in breaks. All shop demos are pretty crappy and usually the Plasmas are on the page. If a good setup used stores and in the sentences incredibly chosen as many would his to sell, but most people drive the large bright LCD or LED. This tv is light and colors are unmatched. Ice hockey games and fast paced sport are crap on lcd, but on plasma quitting hockey players you can fly any sliver of ice through the air. Plasmas are less money and better picture of a lcd, why buy a lcd? I looked on the Samsung but bad rep for sums have a realllly. Get it, dial will be blown away in your settings, and.

Best value on the market, September 26, 2009
By 996driver (Valrico, FL, USA)

I looked on this set and the TC P65V10 in best buy, before I bought it here. Using same input I could no longer v10 96 hz 24 p say a tiny marginal difference in the feature and this sentence without. I looked at the 60 "KURO, and while it look better calibrated it wasn't value are more than"twice the price"premium." I could tell a difference in the price though, and back in my in-house-all I can say is, "WOW, what a picture". This performance to this Amazon price point is the value of the year on TV IMHO.

I purchased the new TC P54G10 in early September and have a 720 P 50 "TH-50PX80U model." While the TC P65S1 Panasonic so I was no THX with THX settings impressed as I thought I would be and prefer to use custom settings. I believe this is still by far the best picture of the three phrases I own. It shares the same neo PDP glass as the 54 G 10 but at 65 "that 1080 shows ability really by." Even in size 54 "I can tell the difference with the 720 sets, but this 65S1 seems like a star." I saw this Thursday night College football game on ACTIONFILM and spent more time will be amazed the image as in the game and it was a damn good game.

This set is in a large room 19' x 26', 12 "blanket with much stained glass Windows and sliding doors." The anti glare works well, really great.
You need to use the ability Netflix right from the set and add another way to fine tune image control and add to the calibration of the image.

Panasonic really knows their stuff. I can't wait until you come with a 100 "or can afford better plasma, those who are not Rap Star.

Do not hesitate to buy through Amazon!

A Fantastic Television With a Few Shortcomings, July 4, 2010
By Raul G. "Raul G." (USA)
I've spent the last 2 months researching my next television purchase. I'm one of those people that over-researches the pros and cons of any major purchase. I specifically set out at the beginning of my research to purchase a television for my finished basement. Since I can easily control ambient light pretty much any display technology was on the table - Plasma, LCD, LED-LCD, DLP, etc. I love the picture quality of DLP sets but ultimately decided to rule out that technology mainly because of the size (width) and the fact that I would eventually need to replace a bulb. I decided against traditional CCFL LCD displays too despite owning a Sharp Aquos LC46D84U. That essentially left me with LED-LCD and Plasma technology. After going back and forth I finally ended up deciding to go with Plasma. I think ultimately the deciding factors for me were the overall picture quality and cost.

I've been using my TC65S2 for about the last 2 weeks and I'm absolutely floored by the picture quality. I'm actually surprised at how much better the display looks than my Sharp Aquos. Black levels are incredibly detailed, inky-black that leaves my Aquos' display looking like it can only generate gray instead of a true black level. Out of the box the TV came on 'vivid' setting which makes colors impressively "pop" on-screen, however, it somewhat distorts flesh-tones and makes people appear a bit orange. I used my DVE HD Basics calibration disc and calibrated my TC65S2 myself. It's probably not as good as a professional calibration but I feel satisfied enough with the results.

The TV comes with additional pre-settings such as 'Cinema' and 'Game'. I've used both and I'm happy to say that the settings are actually useful. I use a PS3 for both gaming and watching Blu-ray movies. The cinema setting on BD movie playback tones down the overall brightness and gives movies a 'warm' color setting similar to movie theaters. The 'Game' setting is impressive too and maintains a good black level while increasing the overall color levels. I can honestly say that after playing God of War 3 on my Aquos and again on this set, it's like playing a different game. There are many areas in GoW3 that are extremely dark and I'm now noticing details that just weren't there with my Aquos. Everything looks cleaner, more detailed and colors are more accurate.

Aesthetically, Panasonic seems to trail Samsung, Sony and Sharp. While those companies have invested significantly in the looks over everything from their bezel to the remote, Panasonic maintains a cleaner and simpler look. Personally I don't have a problem with the subdued look - I'm more interested in the picture quality than anything else. That said the TV does have a pleasant piano-black glossy finish. That continues with the rather simple wedge-shaped stand that is included. The remote unfortunately leaves something to be desired. Perhaps most importantly it is not back-lit. Simple things like adjusting the volume in a dark room are easy due to the shape of the particular key, however, changing the input for example is not. I believe that the G-2x & VT Panasonic plasmas do offer a better & back-lit remote. After the first week or so I finally had the time to program my Harmony for my new TV and I won't miss the Panasonic remote at all.

The included television speakers are adequate but nothing impressive. Honestly, at 65" I think most folks that purchase a set like this are doing so for a home theater and have surround sound. I used the included speakers for about a day before I switched over to my home theater speakers.

Feature wise the S2 might be called "bare-bones" by some. Personally I was on the fence about getting a G25 or jumping up to the VT (3D) series. Ultimately though I think 2 things swayed me to the S2. First the size; I wanted to create a home theater setting and the G25 tops out at 54". Panasonic does make a 65" VT25 that is full-HD 3D, however, that set is around the $4000 dollar mark. With such limited 3D offerings currently on the market I just couldn't justify the price. Second, the extra bells and whistles in the more expensive sets like the G25 and VT series are nice though I'm not sure how often I'd watch YouTube videos or listen to Pandora radio on my TV. The Netflix integration is probably the best feature, however, I'm already getting that with my PS3. For someone looking for a TV with a great picture and not really interested in peripheral features, the S2 is the way to go!

Lastly, for those not aware Panasonic was recently in a bit of a scandal - at least as far as AV enthusiasts go - with their plasma sets. It seems that after varying degrees of usage Panasonic plasma TVs started losing their deep-black level. There is a lot of discussion on various AV sites about the severity of the issue but as noted by CNET's reviewing editors it does happen and it is an issue with the 2009 and earlier sets. For the S2, Panasonic is using a new Neo-PDP panel and it remains to be seen what will happen. This was an issue that nearly derailed my purchase of this set. However, after reading more into the issue and the fact that the change is gradual - not something that happens overnight - I felt like I could go ahead and make the purchase. I'll follow up in the months to come to this review and make comments as necessary. I'm hoping that with the 2010 sets Panasonic was able to mitigate the problem. Time will tell.

Other information:

- In the box this TV weighs in at 165lbs! The TV alone weighs 123lbs and 137lbs with the included stand. Be sure to have adequate help when setting up this TV! Fortunately Panasonic designed hand grips into the back of the set to make is somewhat less unwieldy.

- I've noticed that when using HDMI directly to my PS3 I can utilize some of the Viera-Link features. For example when I switch my television input to my PS3 it automatically powers on my PS3. Kind of a neat feature that I thought was only compatible with Panasonic products that are Viera-Link enabled.

- This features 3x HDMI inputs and 2x Component inputs. There are additional inputs for composite and SDHC. The S2 series lacks a lot of the additional inputs that you gain with the G2x or VT series like USB, ethernet, RS232C, PC, etc.

- For such a large plasma television, the S2 does not generate as much heat as I expected. Even after recently watching a long movie and then a World Cup soccer match the TV wasn't hot.

Sharp image quality to build with iPod. SD card and PC inputs, 27 March 2010
By SIM fan (Denver CO USA)
I bought three new 32-inch LCD TV in a week, and the first two due to the faulty video inputs returned. The third TV I bought is this high-quality, Panasonic TC L32X2 TV, released in February 2010. My experience allowed me three similar TV, giving me good insight to write this review to compare.

I bought two other 32 inch LCD TV; a Vizio VO320E and a Sony BRAVIA-BX-300-series (model KDL 32BX300). I returned both of you because of the identical video input problems. I connected two different brands of DVD players to any TV, and when I played DVDs were alternating horizontal stripes of discoloration on the screen indicates a problem with the video inputs on your TV. I returned both TV to the retailer as both this DVD player perfect on two other TVs in my house, including a one-year-old Panasonic Plasma worked.

Then I bought the Panasonic TC L32X2 listed here. After the initial Setup, the first thing I tested the video output from a DVD player, and was to find that the video with no stripes of discoloration as on the other two television was sharp and clear, makes it easy. Then I flipped channels from a direct cable TV input (no cable box) and TV out was excellent as well and definitely better than the other two TV I had to return. The build of the TV was noticeably better quality than the other two televisions. The remote control has many features and doesn't come cheap (such as those that came with another two TV).

This Panasonic TC L32X2 TV comes with a cable TV input, a set of component video inputs (red/blue/green-video and audio red/white), two sets of three HDMI inputs, one PC Input, composite video inputs (red/white/yellow), an iPod dock with connection cable and rear entrance, an SD card camera input and a Dolby digital audio output.

The best buy in high definition TV?, June 12, 2010
Opinunated (USA)
What to buy a great this HDTV is. I paid $469.00 (incl. postage) for this 2010 42 "Panasonic Plasma."

I own a 58 "Panasonic 1080p plasma, which was best evaluated by CNET in 2008." In fact, told CNET, it was the very best HDTV, had tested this year and awarded Editors choice

I see very little difference between this low prices 42 "Panasonic and my $3000.00 above on line 58" Panasonic 1080p.

For a number of reasons, I would suggest you consider buying a plasma TV and if you can live without some bells and whistles I would recommend buying this exact model.

(1) 720 p versus 1080p: this is a 720 p HDTV - I'm not, it makes much difference when compared to a set of 1080. While the public has its attention to the obvious numerical difference between 720 and 1080 concentrated and assumed that the larger number was always better--is this - in the practical Sinne--not always the case. With smaller TV the difference can be detected between 720 p and 1080 not easy, if you sit up on the TV. Professional reviews have always exact same said. Because the public perception - 720 p TV are always a die bred and offer a unique buying opportunity. 720 p shows process 1080 signals without any problem as one 1080 display processes 720 p signals without effort. People forget to send the most Xbox and PlayStation games as well as ALL of the content on ABC, FOX and ESPN in 720 p.

(2) Viewing angle - indicated almost every LCD of a poorer image from among the members. CNET, HD Guru, display materials, consumer reports, etc, that note you like image quality degrades if a LCD from an angle is displayed. In some cases produced just sit a seat cushion from the ideal sweet spot of a much poorer image on a LCD. Plasmas had never show a problem with off center. No matter where you sit you see the same image on a plasma.

(3) Movement: this is an another perimeter that are inherently when view movement superior way too much importance in the specification has been wars - Plasmas. LCDs at 120 HZ or better are pretty good with movement but never quite the equal of Plasmas. What is interesting, to remember is that reviews say it's not likely anyone can see the difference in every day display (as opposed to test pattern). The end result is that Plasmas are better with motion handling, but even the worst LCD is probably well from seeing most non sports audiences.

(4) Black level. How is black the specification is black, the plasma fans love to quote. The black of the most Plasmas are far darker than that of a typical LCD, although local dimming LED/LCD sets close if not are equal. This C2 Panasonic is no exception, and also in my bedroom with all the lights out, the black are very, very dark indeed. Panasonic's, have been criticized in the past because black levels increase in the course of time, but the black remain generally darker than LCDs, after you have increased. An open question is whether the 2010 Panasonic's have even this problem.

(5) Reflections: the C2 has a shiny glass screen behind a dark background is. It reflects any bright objects, which are pretty good. View program material, which is pretty you'll be dark in nature, are these considerations under. These reflections be visible light program material.

(6) Brightness: plasma are not too bright. If you plan view is your TV in every room with a fair amount of ambient light then a plasma HDTV probably not the best choice.

I would recommend a LCD display your TV in a medium to light room. LCD screens are often brighter than Plasmas. If you are concerned about the reflections a LCD with a matte screen would be a wise choice. Unfortunately matte screens are always becoming increasingly rare on LCDs and never Plasmas available.

While other Panasonic's more bells and whistles offer and technical performance better, I really think this model of the value leader in HDTV - is given its low price. If you are willing to spend a dollar over look the S2 series of Panasonic's (latest 1080p Panasonic Panel for more inputs and according to the manufacturer - better anti-reflective screen) or do you have to spend even more money - G series. The VT25 series is the top of the line, but prices start up $2,000.00

Very recommended for or under $500.00. I would recommend the S2 Panasonic or about $600.00.

Panasonic TC-L42U22 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Offering advanced LCD technology for the highest possible picture quality, Panasonic's 42-inch VIERA TC-L42U22 LCD HDTV features an improved panel with In Plane Switching (IPS) for an ultra-wide viewing angle and higher moving picture resolution that results in clear, bright images. This U22 series model provides 1080p resolution, 24P Playback function for superb imagery from 24-frame movies on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, and a 20,000:1 contrast ratio.

This and other models in the U22 line offer Panasonic's VIERA Image Viewer feature, which enables you to play slideshows of JPEG images stored on SD memory cards, as well as the VIERA Link feature for controlling a variety of compatible components--from Blu-ray Disc players to digital cameras--through a single remote.

Adhering to Panasonic's commitment to the environment, this VIERA model--as well as all 2010 models--features improved power consumption and meets the new, more stringent Energy Star 4.0 requirements.

Key Features

In Plane Switching (IPS): The latest iteration of Panasonics IPS LCD panel features excellent light transmittance and a wide viewing angle. The wide 178-degree viewing angle--both horizontally and vertically--ensures clear images even when viewed from an angle. And the panel backlight's wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between light and dark, improving motion-image response. VIERA Image Viewer: View full-HD images with the integrated SD card slot, enabling you to view JPEG photos captured from your digital camera or camcorder on the big screen. Navigate your images via an easy-to-use thumbnail display. VIERA Link: Allows the interlinked operation of various AV devices--from DVD and Blu-ray Disc players to home theater sound systems to digital cameras and camcorders--using only the VIERA remote control by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable (see pop-up illustration).

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5
