I have the television to just over two months ago, it was time. I do not want a full review so many others have justice. I want to say that overall I like it. Has rich colors and deep blacks. I had a choice between the 50-inch-S1 and 42-inch G10. I'm happy with my choice, because they always need more screen size. I went to Sony 32 "CRT and I was a bit 'about the size, when we used to overcome the situation. Of course, after a month, will use the format …have the maximum size that can afford to meet your room. I tell you, seems to be reduced "in size, after a month or so.

There was much complaining about the recent loss of his black Panasonic plasma, which has been for some time. I have not noticed, and I hope that this will not happen, or if so, then I hope it is too small to matter that I have not noticed. Panasonic says that it is intentional. Who knows who is telling the truth? You ormay be wary of solutions, but still … remains as is. Lost many potential customers, however, for this would really try to do something.

Despite still prefer plasma / LCD. The blacks are much better and the viewing angle does not change the image quality. Regardless of the number of different liquid crystals, I see, I can not stand the black levels. Judge Fields TV lighting. LCD appears increasingly clear in shops and stuff … handsome. Plasma areappear darker in stores, so that the average citizen to stay away from them. These are the same people who spend $ 50 if the HDMI cable for $ 10 to do the same cables. Trust me. Plasma TVs (if properly calibrated) can be reduced. Reflection is not a problem. You get more responsive to the surrounding bezel, as well as on screen. My LCD monitor has a greater reflection. My previous CRT TV had to deal more reflection, so that the problem seems to me. Friendscome, and they want their plasma TV / LCD, after the upgrade. Of course, that different people have different tastes, so you must do your research.

This TV is perfect. I do not see it as a five stars of television, but it is certainly enjoyable. The problems I have with it is the image retention. There is no burn-in, if I may say so (which is different from the IR). Figure keep all day, at times, but it is barely noticeable. For example:playing "Batman: Arkham Asylum", all day again. It 'just a fun game that I'm not depressed. In any case, the health bar / half-circle, which remains on the screen and leaves only when you are in good health. Well, when I finished the night … I saw the list on the screen. It 'was very weak and only when the screen is otherwise quite dark, so I do not care … But there remained the following day. Once again, I can not emphasize enough that you are looking for themformat. Plus, it's gone. Large plasma burn-in test. I just want to leave image retention in a hurry, because they see the terrible things for a few hours … and I am wary of games that are constantly HUD.

Another problem is that the sound is mediocre. Not terrible, but since he has given the TV speakers, the sound is a bit 'muffled. They did design ensures that most people would use the receiverhowever. Well, I really could not with my receiver until I have an optical cable. My receiver is eight years, so no HDMI cable. I preferred the front speakers for better sound.

Three HDMI inputs are fine, although I was there at least four. I plan to upgrade their receivers in a given time, and this could be a problem. One thing I did not know before buying this TV, you can not receive signals to 1080p with component cables. Thanksno sense. I was one of the great Xbox 360, which are set via HDMI, so I'm using components. Not as bad as most games are 720p, but Netflix should be 1080p. Since Panasonic does not seem to improve its Viera Cast Blu-ray player with Netflix (except for 2010 -) model, I was thinking about using 360, but I can not 1080p. I'm fine, I use my PC via HDMI, but it would be better without my computer. YouWith a resolution of 720p and 1080i with the component, if you are asked.

SD card slot is basically a joke. If you have a card, the images that are larger than 2-megapixel resolution, which is prepared to wait for the next presentation. Most cameras today, at least 8 megapixels, which makes it very slowly and painfully. When I got through friends, their photos on a big TV show, like, I am in SD slot, because it is very slow. I go to my Wii SD card slot.This is a much more performance shots, more … It really puzzles from pictures.

Overall, I find the love of television, whatever the nuances of small size. The black levels are great, but not as great as I like. Greens look a little 'neon sign, in some cases, but who knows if it is really a bug or television, when the problem with the starting material, because I do not see all the channels or Blu-Ray. I do not know how the appearance of standard definitionChannels of my CRT, but I think that the problem of service. Standard-def DVDs are good on this TV. TV is not perfect, but it is not so much that exists. I know that television is becoming increasingly difficult to find. I paid less than nine bills for them, so it was a good solution for me. If you think about it, wait for 2010 models, you have to wait until November to get too. If you wait for 3D, I suggest you wait another two years, at least duringYou get all of The Kinks. The biggest problem is that aid to black after a certain number of hours that people are complaining on the forum. If too much on it? I do not know, because I had not noticed. But … does anyone think twice about choosing Panasonic.

I got this set for about 8 months, was so far and are quite happy.
Only complaint I have is a lot of green screen when you are in a lower resolution signals, but that was expected.

Excellent TV! Poor shipping by Amazon – N. Parsons –
Brief overview, the TV is excellent — Best Buy, if you wish. So give me 5 stars.

This review is available from Amazon. I like Amazon, and I have all (literally), but I recommend to the dollar high, large objects, such as 50 "plasma TV. Why should I take? Express more than 2 months and customer service was very poor, friendly but completely useless – their policies provide few mititage their problems. Bascially, who sell goodscurrently do not have enough to meet demand () is too expensive, so some of his TV, as promised, while others must wait to get there. I wanted to Group BCS Championship. He apologized for sending and deleting, because Amazon look great.
It could also hunded dollars to pay and had to immediately sell the TV Black Friday – I would recommend to others, not the sellers of Amazon for some products because of this do nothing for the customer, that makes mistakes.
