Panasonic TC-P50ST50

 

With the Panasonic TC-PST50 series you get accurate colors and solid black level performance in a nicely styled plasma HDTV, but the panel doesn?t get very bright, and 3D glasses are not part of the deal.

Excellent color accuracy. Good black levels. Robust audio output. Sleek design

Not very bright. Uses lots of power. Only three HDMI ports. 3D glasses not included

The Panasonic P55ST50 is a tastefully designed 55-inch plasma HDTV that delivers very accurate colors, deep dark blacks, and wide off-angle viewing. Its $1,700 price tag is not unreasonable considering its performance, but you'll end up spending around...

Panasonic TC-P50ST50

 

Editors' note, April 17, 2013: The replacement for this TV, the Panasonic TC-PST60 series , earned an even higher rating as well as our latest Editors' Choice award. This review has not been otherwise modified or updated beyond this note.

The affordable Panasonic TC-PST50 series exhibited outstanding overall picture quality, characterized by exceedingly deep black levels with great shadow detail, accurate colors, and solid bright-room performance. Unlike LCDs, as a plasma it has superb...

The ST50 uses more power than competing LCD TVs, and doesn't perform as well in bright rooms as those with matte screens. It doesn't come with 3D glasses, and it showed more crosstalk in 3D than some competing TVs. The ST50 is only available in 50-inch...

With flagship-level picture quality for a midlevel price, the Panasonic ST50 series sets the value standard among videophile-grade TVs.

The increase in the volume of digital content being made with the 3D technology support has made it essential for a modern family to possess a 3D HD TV set. Panasonic has launched the TC-P50ST50 to complement the entertainment requirements of a modern...

The model also comes with a lesser number of HDMI and USB ports in comparison to the plasma TV sets launched by the manufacturer under the PGT50 series. But a user can use these input options to access his offline collection of digital content stored...

Can't imagine a better picture and the hobbit in 3d was awesome that butterfly hovered in the middle of the room in clear detail.

"Beware of burn-in problem not covered by warranty"

 

If you need a further reason not to buy a Panasonic plasma television besides the fact that the company has announced it is getting out of the plasma business, please read the following:

Hard to find any.

Product displayed burn-in after only six weeks of use. Panasonic denies warranty coverage.
