We owned a Panasonic GT30 prior to this VT50, and were very happy with the GT (until the panel went after less than 2 years). We received the VT50 from Adorama within 2 days and the delivery service was excellent (calling before delivery and allowing an inspection of the TV for damages before leaving). Out of the box, I was initially unhappy with the picture, but after some calibrations (as per CNET's guide), I was blown away at the deep black levels and excellent skin tones. The "standard" setting on the GT30 was our go-to TV watching setting, but "standard" on the VT50 is very dull & low contrast, despite adjustments to brightness and contrast. We've been using "custom" exclusively, and have only had to make minor tweaks when playing ps3 or watching darker movies, etc... I'm not a fan of the stand (plastic) or the bezel (tacky fake chrome border) but I mounted the TV and forgot all about the border after a couple days. I haven't used the Viera features, as I have Apple TV for Netflix, etc... but the picture is so great, the VT50 gets 5 stars for this alone. Also, Adorama had the best price anywhere, and shipped very quickly.

Rich, accurate color & fine-tuning

easy to hang on wall,the TV is directly across from a mirror,zero glare.Lots of picture settings.The delivery guy even set up the TV and put it on the stand!!

better than looking at real life

Very nice picture quality and design. Webbrowser in this tv is very bad and not really usefull, but other than that it is very good.
Netflix/you tube/picasa photo album is very good
