Panasonic Viera TC-P46S1

 

Plasma once dominated in the 46-inch flat-screen category because LCD panels that size were far more expensive. That's changed--the differences aren't as large as they once were--but Panasonic continues to compete with plasma sets such as the 1080p...

Lots of customization options ; Well priced for a 46-inch plasma HDTV

Disappointing image quality ; Skimpy on inputs (and no PC support)

The Panasonic TC-P46S1 would be a bargain 46-inch plasma if its image quality wasn't so disappointing.

Review: Panasonic Viera TC-P46S1 HDTV

 

The Panasonic TC-P46S1 would be a bargain 46-inch plasma HDTV if its image quality weren't so disappointing.

Lots of customization options

Disappointing image quality ; Skimpy on inputs (and no PC support)

In our lab tests, the TC-P46S1 received average scores for brightness (and judges remarked on how well it looked viewed from the side), but it was dragged down by subpar ratings for color, sharpness and detail, and overall image quality. Judges noted a...

Panasonic TC-P46S1 Review – 46-inch Plasma HDTV

 

The Panasonic TC-P46S1 is a relatively cheaper model from Panasonic, which has the latest Neo PDP plasma panel. This panel is responsible for the higher quality of pictures and the heightened contrast ratio. It is also a promoter of low power...

Panasonic TC-P46S1 Review

 

Panasonic TC-P46S1 brings honor to the company?s name, through its overall competitive picture quality. This Panasonic plasma TV is a very good example of what the manufacturer intended to bring forward with the new plasma TV series released in 2009....

Second best 46 inch plasma TV from 2009 ; Good picture quality ; Black levels as good as those found on more expensive models ; Generally good colors ; NeoPDP panel makes it more energy efficient and gives it an advantage in picture quality

Lacks THX mode (as opposed to high-end series from Panasonic) ; Anti-glare performance is good but not great ; Even after calibration, perfect color accuracy is not possible ; Lacks advanced picture controls (Samsung models are superior in this area)

Panasonic TC-P46S1 does not disappoint in terms of overall picture quality. Being gifted with the “Infinite Black” technology from Panasonic, this plasma model successfully acquires the deepest blacks, which became a standard for the series released...

I didn't get this TV from newegg, but paid a comparable price.I saw it here as I was browsing and wanted to put my 2 cents in.I'm absolutely satisfied with this product.

Beautiful picture with deep blacks and vibrant colors,3 hdmi was perfect for Xbox, Blu-ray,and DTV. My games run flawless and look incredible. Movie night is now very looked forward to in our house

Great TV except for screen has spots

 

Mine arrived with some spots on the upper left portion of the screen. They are not on the surface of the screen (so it's not something to treat or clean off). They remind me of spots on the inside reflective layer of mirror glass, almost as if...

Great feature set and PQ for the price. This may not be as important to others, but this TV runs VERY cool. I bought it for a medium to small bedroom and in the last five years I have used a 32" CRT, a 37" LCD, and lastly a 42" DLP before this. Each of...

Does not help me pick winning lotto numbers. None really but could really use a dedicated sleep timer button on the remote

Great deal, great service, great TV

 

Newegg did right by me with a great deal. Their large item shipper did an outstanding job, with friendly, professional service. The carton arrived in perfect condition, and I was 100% confident the TV would be perfect -a nd it was.

Outstanding clarity, deep blacks, rich color, and outstanding motion performance. I chose exactly the right size for my room, getting full benefit of the 1080p. Check the review on various sources - these new plasmas are remarkably light and don't burn...
