 Panasonic Plasma is awesome! November 22, 2009

My Samsung 50 inch DLP finally gave up the ghost, and don't get me started on how many times the repairman had to come out and put parts in the darn thing, and how long it sat waiting on those parts, and oh yes the bulbs that would just go out for no reason. But I digress, on to the Panasonic. I got a deal at $695.00 from another dealer and what a breeze to set up with my home theater system and harmony remote. I did not even look at the owners manual until I was watching tv. I did not know how sharp and clear my dish network HD channels were until I got this TV, it is so user friendly. I did go from a 50 inch to a 46 but the quality of the picture more than makes up for the loss in size. At the time I bought the DLP in 2004 a Plasma this size cost around $5000 and the quality was no where near this good. Again I say this is a great TV.
Great TV! November 15, 2009

I just bought this TV from another retailer. Great TV and a great price (less than $800!!). I really prefer the plasma picture over LCD. Truer blacks and no fast motion rendering problems due to the 600Hz speed. Even if you don't need the true black image, you can't find a 46" LCD running at 240Hz (currently the top LCD speed) for the same price point. I am very impressed with the TV and wish I could find the same bargain on a 55 - 60" model for my family room!
Very good plasma set. January 8, 2010

Pretty much, this TV rocks.
They have some at a local store and I'm bewildered people walk by them at their price point and buy a more expensive, inferior TV set.
It looks good with any source. SD, HD, it does great. Of course things are not going to look as good with SD content, but you've got a 46" screen where you wouldn't be able to see the gritty details as well as on an old 27" SDTV set - it's technology, not magic.
Do yourself a favor and get your TV calibrated. We picked up a copy of Elf on DVD and used its picture calibration setup, the picture went from great to even greater. It was impressive. I didn't think it could had got any better.
Video games, this thing is like an arcade monitor on steroids. They don't have monitors as good as this thing in arcades.
Even playing super fast games everything looks buttery smooth. Even old 16bit video games look good on this monitor.
Over the air HDTV looks great, especially a local 1080i channel (PBS HD). It looks like a computer screen using DVI input instead of a TV screen, that's how good it looks.
My complaint? I DO have a complaint. The TV signal meter will not stay up longer than 2 minutes, and when I'm outside adjusting an antenna looking through the window in the cold and it vanishes, that sucks.
But that's about it. Family has a 2 year old Vizio plasma that has noticable ghosting, otherwise called burn in (but fades, so, ghosting).
This television has not even had a hint of ghosting even from the word go. I'm completely comfortable playing video games with it, for hours. Not a single problem.
Plasma? Panasonic? Win.
This TV Rocks! November 21, 2009

This TV is so sweet. I have looked for over a year for the perfect TV. Either they were to much, to blurry, not dark enough, not big enough, or you never herd of the brand. AND NOW I got my Panasonic 46" TC-P46U1 for $788. It runs at 600Hz are you kidding the motion scene are crystal clear. YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE AN HD SIGNAL FOR IT TO BE CLEAR! To many people get angry when they hook up their regular TV signal at 420P and want it to be clear? So if you have an HD receiver from a dish company or a blue ray player, your good to go with this TV. Owe yeah YOU HAVE TO USE AN HDMI CABLE!
My Latest Do-It-Myself Project April 9, 2010
William R. Larson (Port Angeles, WA)
The arrival (just a few days after ordering it online) was exciting! Delivery men carried the big box into the house, opened it, took the big set (46 inch screen) out and plugged it in to check if it worked. It DID! They left, and I got busy reading the big manual that described the installation and hook-up. My wife and I could lift the big set, and I followed the diagrams in the book, attaching our other Panasonic gear, the disc player and tape players, and home theatre speakers. We turned it on, and it worked! We've never seen such a terrific picture, sound and picture control! We have MANY classic tapes and discs, collected over the years, and we watch opera, and classical music presentations often. The Panasonic Viera 46 inch set is a marvelous addition to our home!
