Best HD Cinema TV vs the Competition

This TV is providing my family with the best HD cinema and sports action in 2D, 2D to 3D conversion, and 3D at the best price point. I have owned several other panasonic TV's because of their reliablility. Save yourself a lot of time searching. If you are buying a TV at this price point buy it now and your family won't be disapointed with either the quality of the HD or the savings in the price from HP.

Great image, good value

I was super impressed by this TV. My previous TV was not full HD so the images on this one seemed spectacular. Blu-rays look great. There are three HDMI inputs which was "just" enough for me. Digital audio out is by optical. I did not use the on board speakers - they can be turned off if you have a home theatre system. The network stuff works pretty well. MP3's played from my newest camera, but older MP3's did not. All in all, I'm quite pleased with the price and performance.

Quite impressed - good bang for buck

I've only had this TV for a couple of weeks but so far I am impressed with its quality, performance, and features. I am a fan of Plasma over LCD / LED as it seems to be more natural looking. To my eyes LCD / LED's are too 'digital' while plasma seems to have a smoother display. Out of the box you will want to work with some of the default picture settings based on where you actually place the TV. I found several websites with suggestions for this specific unit and after some trial and error have arrived at good combination of settings that match my environment in terms of lighting and viewing conditions.Your mileage 'will' vary - so plan on doing at least a little bit of tweaking for your specific environment. It's easy to do with a little help and guidance from our friends on the web. I did not purchase this TV for it's 3D or Internet capabilites and while I won't make regular use of 3D (to me it is little more than an interesting experiment), I've found the 2D to 3D conversion of standard TV and DVD's fairly good . I've yet to play a native 3D BluRay movie so I can't comment on that. The 3D glasses are expensive (hint - find a deal on ebay ) and a little on the flimsy side - but they work. I bought them mostly for the kids and will encourage them frequently to be careful with them as these are the active shutter 3D types and not the cheap passive things they are used to tossing in a bin at the end of a movie. Keep i nmind I'm only a couple of weeks into my experience at this point, but overall I think this TV is a very good value for the price.

About Panasonic TC-P55ST50

Panasonic Smart Viera TC-P55ST50 55" Class ST50 Series Full HD Plasma HDTV uses Full HD frame sequential technology to create its 3D images. Images recorded in 1920 x 1080 pixels for both the right eye and the left eye alternately flash on the screen at high speed. When you view the screen through active-shutter glasses that open and close each lens in sync with the alternating images, you see breathtaking Full HD 3D pictures with stunning power and realism.

"Vividness," is the keyword in the TC-P55ST50's design. Besides 3D, 2,500 Focused Field Drive technology ensures action with striking clarity while gamers will appreciate the 1,080 lines of moving-picture resolution coupled with Game Mode which optimizes contrast and sharpness and accelerates image processing. And speaking of gaming, downloading games from Viera Connect Market allows you to utilize your tablet or smart phone as a game pad as well as a remote control for browsing the web. And you can do it wirelessly thanks to the TC-P55ST50's built-in WiFi.If you're short of space, or you just prefer an uncluttered room, you'll appreciate the 3D Real Sound with 8-Train Speakers. Panasonic employs acoustic-field compensation technology to match the soundtrack's frequency to human auditory characteristics. Eight small speakers with reflectors create surround effects enhanced by a super slim subwoofer that adds rumble, thunder and realistic base notes to your programming. You can listen to music or view video and photos downloaded from an online source or from an SD card or USB drive thanks to the TC-P55ST50's convenient ports.
