Panasonic TC-P50X5

 

In CNET's lists of the best 2012 televisions , no lineup dominates like Panasonic's plasmas. No matter whether you pay $700 for a U50 or $3,700 for a VT50 , our tests and observations have demonstrated that models across the entire range are the...

The cheap Panasonic TC0PX5 series displays plenty of shadow detail and has better black levels than some LCDs at the same price or higher. The TV is able to properly display interlaced content from Blu-rays as well as the correct cadence for 24p content.

The Panasonic X5 has very poor color accuracy, with a green cast to both shadows and skin tones.

The entry-level Panasonic X5's color problems make it the worst choice among the year's cheap plasmas.

"Do NOT BUY!!!!!! WARNING!!!!!"

 

Bought new at Wal-Mart only 6 mths ago, just stopped working will not do anything, according to their repair person this is an ongoing problem with this TV. Have been trying to get the part for 3 weeks to fix, they keep saying on back order, I'll bet...

It was cheap, do yourself a favor and spend a little more.

Broken TV is worthless, only 6 mths old. Customer service is worthless!!! Does not care about customers.

"The CNET reviewer of this TV could not be more wrong."

 

I've owned and sold 32, 42, 50 and 52 inch flat panel TVs over the last four years. Three Samsung's one LG and this Panasonic. Before purchasing this TV I compared this side by side with the competing Samsung 43" plasma. I made adjustments to these TVs...

Deep blacks with excellent contrast and very good deep rich colors. The sound is better than average too. And of course, it's a plasma which is richer and more natural than most all LCD and LED televisions.

Only two HDMI ports, no ethernet port, no Vieracast channels.

Pleasantly surprised

 

I've long been skeptical of plasma televisions, but this one is excellent. Haven't had any problems with burning, even without putting too much care into avoiding it. Very nice TV, and got a very good deal on it.This product has... Easy to set up,...

Excellent Panasonic Plasma Quality & Price

 

I looked everywhere for the best for the least; and believe we found it with this Panasonic Plazma. After looking at everything else first expecting to buy a LCD, maybe LED (because reports that Plazma was too dark or glare from glass screen(though...

possible glare if you don't have proper location
