Panasonic TC-P60U50

 

In a year when dual-core TVs vaunt voice control, touch-pad remotes, gesture recognition, app stores, and often mediocre picture quality, the Panasonic TC-PU50 series is a throwback. A bona fide Dumb TV , the U50 couldn't launch an app or sync with 3D...

The inexpensive Panasonic TC-PU50 series in its superb picture quality surpasses many TVs costing hundreds more. Its black levels can get as deep as any but those of the very best plasma TVs. Color is accurate, off-angle viewing and uniformity are...

The TC-PU50 washes out in bright room lighting, and it can't get as bright in its most accurate picture mode as some plasmas this size. It has just two HDMI inputs. It also uses significantly more power than a like-sized LCD or LED TV.

A low price, excellent picture quality, and bare-bones features make the Panasonic TC-PU50 series a superb entry-level plasma TV value.

"Went through 4 TVs and none worked!"

 

I went through 4 of these giant pieces of ****.... First I drove 2 hours to Walmart to pick my first one of these up 2 months ago and the whole time of transportation i acted like i was transporting a 60" piece of glass... after an hour of setting it...

It looked nice and sexy when i opened the box... until i looked a little closer to see that there were tons of cracks...

"Great Televison!"

 

I shopped around locally & on the internet and could not beat the price for this. I liked that it is a name brand and also it offered free shipping with my Prime membership. I was concerned that the description did not list it as "wall mountable."...

"Low priced entry model"

 

In reference to the unfortunate buyer with the early failure if he had done a little more research he would have found that blinking red LEDs can happen on ALL panel TVs including all the big players in this market. It's not CNET responsibility to...

Took a while to dial in the settings for a good picture and at first I wasn't too thrilled with what I was seeing but patience and experimenting paid off and now the display looks like a Panasonic should.

Very limited settings available to tweak. It's obvious that Panasonic limited both features and controls to keep the cost down so this really isn't a con. If I wanted more setting controls I could have paid more for the next model up.

"BUYER BEWARE!!"

 

OK..so I purchased the 60" version of this Panasonic plasma from Amazon on 10/3/12...spent an entire day running wiring behind my wall and putting up a wall mount...turn it on and the picture is BEAUTIFUL...then 2nmins later the screen goes completely...

Low cost, great picture (for 2 mins)

It was DOA.

"Panasonic Lemon"

 

This was not a positive experience.

Within 5 days of plugging TV in a horizontal line appeared across the top center of the picture. Panasonic would not replace the TV, were rude when we called customer service and only offered for a tech to come out and try and repair the TV.

Blown away

 

The picture out of the box on this TV is vert good. With tweaks found on CNET boards its truly amazing. I personally find the picture quality on a plasma much better than an LED TV. However this TV is in a darkened bedroom. For a brightly lit living...

Price picture quality

Only two HDMI ports
