 "Comparision" 2009-11-23
By D. Patel (NY)
I set out to get the best 46" LCD that I could get at the best possible price. After a lot of reading reviews online and visiting 5 stores and comparing all their LCDs, I narrowed in on Samsung LN46B640 (sure the 650 and 750 were better, but not at the price being asked for). Compared this model with Sony's V, W and XBR series as well. Just when I was ready to take this set home, a representative from a store alerted me to the performance of the plasma sets (he was not aware of my budget, likes/dislikes and my decision to get the specific LCD). Plasma? Are they not dead? Is the new thing not about LCDs and LEDs? Sure it is and they are just as great. However I now spent 5 hours in 1 hour sessions to compare a plasma set - Panasonic TC-P46S1 with my favorite LCD TV Samsung LN46B640. After looking at 5 different feeds (TV source material/channels) in 5 different stores, I was convinced that the Plasma set performed a little better and provided better color accuracy. Dark and natural green on plasma against Neon green on LCD. Snow on mountains was natural on plasma compared to a Clorox white on LCD. The LCD was indeed good and provided a little better clarity but colors on Plasma were natural. I even changed the settings on the LCD to bring to the same color accuracy of the plasma but could not. LCD presented what I wanted to see, while the plasma set presented it more close to the natural color. On a dark background, the plasma offered colors that popped, while the same colors on the LCD faded. I compared this with the 640, 650, 750 and Sony TVs I mentioned. You will find many websites that tell you that burn-in problem on Plasma is no longer an issue and power consumption gap has also been narrowed down. For my usage power consumption was not a factor. Life of the set is also not an issue any more. Dynamic Contrast ratio and refresh rates, the two most talked about measurements are as follows for the ones I looked at; Plasma: 2 Million:1 and 640 hertz, LCD: 80K:1 and 120hz. Again Dynamic Contrast ratio is very subjective term and you should trust your judgment when comparing models. Its only recently that the LCD sets are catching up to the plasma on the two specs, while the plasma is catching up with the LCD on the power consumption spec. Before you get carried away with these terms, see how it matters to your viewing. In the end, I purchased the Panasonic TC-P46S1 at $200 less than the LCD. However I would not have thought twice if I had to pay the same price for the plasma as the LCD. Reason behind writing this is, do not take any technology for what is being churned out by the marketing machines, media and the hype. Trust your eyes and experience only. If you are reading this, you are reviewing one of the models I had short listed. I am sure whatever you buy will be the best model and in the end your own considered decision. Good Luck.

 "There's always one bad apple . . ." 2009-11-19
By Scott Shortridge (Fairfax, VA)
I've been waiting for over a year to buy a new flat panel TV, and finally decided on this set based on reviews and great price. The price dropped below $1,000 and they were offering a free BD player, I couldn't resist. Unfortunately, when the set arrived it did not work. There was sound, along with a loud buzz, but no picture. So, I declined shipment and called Amazon customer service. As they are now out of stock on this TV, and apparently have no plans on ordering any more, I was provided a refund and will have to choose another model. I'm sure it would have been a great TV, had it only worked!

 "Great Plasma TV!" 2009-10-21
By Alexi Manresa (miami beach)
Great TV at a great price. The picture quality is awesome, I replaced a Sharp Aquos LCD and felt like the Panasonic was a step up in quality. I have had the set for three weeks now and have not noticed any heat issues what so ever. I increased the sharpness from the factory settings and toned down the colors some and I am very satisfied with the overall picture quality. Sporting events look great! This plasma is the way to go for sports fans! No doubt. I have my sound via my home theater system so I can not say i use the TV's speakers. Amazon delivered fast (one business day later than they promised) with great service. I highly recommend this TV, you will not be disappointed. A.

This set is almost perfect. The only thing I would have liked Panasonic do was to integrate a more elaborated TV guide for OTA channels, but I guess this is not a big deal.

 "Great Picture" 2009-11-02
By NF (NY)
I removed my CRT 32" Toshiba from it's TV cabinet while I was doing some flooring in my home. I forgot just how darn heavy and bulky these old school TVs can be. I decided at that moment that I would replace it with something more modern, and lighter. This 32" tv out of the box looked so much smaller, in height, than the previous one that I was concerned it was too small for my needs, it turns out it wasn't. The picture on the other hand, was absolutely brilliant in HD mode. Rich, vibrant colors that makes my bedroom Element HD TV look poor in comparison. Audio quality is pretty good, very clear. Not very good low frequency sound but very good nonetheless. No probs with the connections and a good intuitive menu. The only prob., and it's not really a prob, is running an audio cable to my surround sound audio system. It requires a single digital optical audio cable. Last time I tried one of those cables on a different system, I wasn't pleased with the audio quality (ie tinny sound) so we will see how this one sounds once connected.

 "32" cannot mount on exisiting wall moount" 2009-10-20
By Annes (USA)
Just bought this from Amazon...wanted to put it on an existing wall mount...missing screws needed to do so..were not in Panasonic box...do not know if oversight on their part, or intentional so you have to buy their brand? So, have not turned it on as of yet..

 "Excellent set for the money, but minor flaws." 2009-09-02
By B. Jones (Richmond, VA USA)
I purchased this set to get rid of a heavy tube HD set, but couldn't afford a high priced LED set. For the money, this set is an excellent value. I have DirecTv for tv with an HDMI input, and a regular DVD player with an HDMI "upconvert" feature. The picture is wonderful on both inputs. You can adjust the picture as you wish with the remote control menu.



Now for the minor flaws.

1) You do have to turn the volume way up. I thought at first it was because I have a noisy heat pump fan (I had just moved here when I got the set). But it's not a major issue for me, and I can use the stereo if need be. I notice it more on DVD's than DirecTv.



note: A reader in the comments section suggested turning off the "AI" feature. If you go into the AUDIO section on the remote menu, you will find several adjustments which helped the sound by 50% on my set.

2) The remote control is not easy to use. The sleep timer only gives you three choices: 30, 60, and 90 minutes. I prefer my old set that went in 10 minute increments up to 2 hours, but again, a minor issue. I normally use my DirecTv remote control to turn it on and off and adjust the sound.

3) It claims to have a feature that helps with motion scenes, but I notice some fast motion scenes are choppy, a problem that plauged earlier LCD sets. It only has 60hz refresh rate. Not a big deal for me.

Those are minor complaints and overall I'm satisfied with the set.

 "Panasonic TC-32S1" 2009-06-26
By Daniel T. Light
This is a fine television. Yes the audio seems a little low but I'm getting older so that maybe the problem with that. The picture is outstanding and the colors are beautiful. The value for the dollar speaks for itself on Panasonic TV's. I'm happy with this TV.

 "Great picture, disappointing sound" 2009-05-17
By Kayla Sigrist (Atlanta, GA USA)
I got this tv at an amazing price - about $630 but actually ended up returning it... The picture was beautiful but I was disappointed in the sound. Like the other reviewer, I had to turn the volume all the way to the top to catch conversations. This may not be an issue if you have speakers - I didn't. I ended up spending quite a bit more and getting an LG. The picture is just as good, and the sound is a bit better. I don't have HD right now, so this review is based on my Comcast cable.

 "Awesome TV" 2009-11-27
By E. Dreher
I've had this set for almost one month now and, so far, I have been very happy with my decision. I think the picture quality is amazing. I haven't pushed the sound much because I generally route through my surround so I can't comment too much on that. The set up is easy. I've sampled HDTV, standard tv, Blu-ray and video games and they've all been pretty awesome. My only complaint with the set up is that there's only 3 HDMI ports. I've got Blu-ray surround, HDTV cable box, Wii, Xbox and PS3 all hooked up to this set currently. Now Wii isn't HD so that wasn't an issue going through component but I had to choose between Xbox and PS3 as I chose to use the other 2 HDMI's for the cable and the Blu-ray. I ended up putting the Playstation through the third and the Xbox through component cables only because I'm playing PS3 more right now. Also, I'm not techie enough to be able to see the difference between HDMI and good component cables so not a huge deal to me. If you are, this may be an issue if you're hooking up a lot of stuff.

The price was great, the set up was easy and the quality so far is awesome. I would recommend this if you're in the market. I was debating between this and the 65 inch and I'm actually happy I stayed at 58. This size is perfect. (I view from about 10 feet)

The only other thing I could whine about is the stand. It's that shiny, glossy type of stand that shows every speck of dust so you'll want to have a stock of shams around. If you're mounting it, no big whoop.

I primarily watch sports and action movies as well as play high frame rate games (COD MW2 right now) and there have been no issues with transitions and the clarity is amazing. If I'm going to watch the Lions get their tails kicked each and every week, I may as well see it like I'm there.

 "Panasonic First-Timer" 2009-11-11
By Aaron Hoover (Saint Petersburg, FL)
I did a TON of research looking for the right TV, and after careful consideration I picked up the S1 58" Viera Plasma by Panasonic. Almost a month later and I am still thrilled to own it.



First of all, let me give you a little background (hopefully you gauge my rating credibiltiy here). I watch a lot of sports, love a good action movie (usually a love story if my wife is also watching) and I am an active gamer with my PS3. When I did my research, I wanted a TV that was great in every category, not just movies, not just gaming, etc.



The Panasonic S1 provides an amazing picture quality. The contrast is incredible, the color is everything you could ask for, and even the glare is minimal for a plasma. One other HUGE thing to look for, the Panasonic plasma scored superbly on -the Blacks. I was watching a show the other night and noticed the blacks were SO dark that I could not tell the difference between the border of the TV and black in the picture of the show. This is a huge advange over LCDs, and especially true on this TV.



Setup was very easy. There are so many HDMI inputs on the back of this you will want to go buy more stuff! There is only one digital optical audio out, so you may want to invest in a good audio receiver if you dont have one.



The TV is VERY HEAVY. I bought a decent wall mount on amazon for $25 bucks, works great. Just make sure you use the wall studs, and have at least 3 strong men help you lift the TV.



All said and done, I am extremely happy with this TV. I highly recommend it.

 "This is an AWESOME television!!!" 2009-11-07
By W. Hoyt (Southern California)
I use "awesome" in this review since that is how I feel about this purchase, awesome. O.k. So I did my research and when the promotion came up (Panasonic blu ray player and television combo deal) I waited till the last day and jumped on it. Out the door it was 1661 as I bought a couple of HDMI cables (neither the tv or the blu ray player includes HDMI cables).



CEVA delivery was acceptable. I ordered on 10/30, it shipped 11/2 from Texas, and was at my house in Southern California 11/6. Couple of glitches although nothing too big considering this has been the most expensive purchase I have made via Amazon to date. The tracking number for CEVA that Amazon provided was not accurate, it needed an "a" at the start of it. I had to call CEVA to get tracking information. CEVA was late by an hour and I had to call them after they were 15 minutes passed the time. The tv was not unpacked or put on the stand by CEVA. The box looked in good shape and I was in a hurry so frankly I did not ask as I had to leave. I has read that with CEVA not to expect the tracking to work, and to be proactive and call them. This seemed to work and the CSR's were helpful when called.



The television appears flawless. I had almost done too much research and was getting nervous after reading about color (green tints) and lack of deep black. Neither are any kind of issue at all on my television. The factory settungs look INCREDIBLE and I just viewed Master and Commander blu Ray and it felt like BEING there. The television has way more settings and inputs for cables then I could ever use.



The speakers are o.k., not an issue as I have a decent older Sony receiver with an optical in. The sound through the Sony via the Panasonic BD80 Blu Ray is awesome. The speakers in the tv would be acceptable for watching the news in the morning. In the end if you are purchasing a 58" HDTV with Blu Ray you are not going to use the television built in speakers anyway, so I think it's a nice extra that this beast even has built in speakers.

As far as LCD vs Plasma, well like I mentioned I did my research. First hand my 28" 1080p Hann-G looks great playing DVD's or iTunes HD rentals. I like the picture on the plasma better as I feel it's easier on my eyes, more "softer" for lack of a better word, really more like a cinema screen. Other's prefer the LCD and honestly I do acknowledge it's an apples vs oranges argument. Both work great.



What else? At this point I think it would be silly to pay for pro calibration or even a calibration disc. I just do not see how the picture could improve. As part of my research I went to Best Buy and Costco to view this set. It looked sub par compared to the other sets. That of course made me VERY nervous. I had read that the television would be set in "display" mode for the store (when you first plug it in and turn it on the easy to navigate setup welcome message pops up the first direction as "Is this for home or a store display?") so I knew that the television might not be at it's best or how it would look at home. My television's picture appears much superior to its twins at the brick and mortar. Reviews also are almost all glowing and with the Amazon promotion I just decided to go for it.



Other things...Another thing to keep in mind is anytime you put a 58" piece of glass (LCD, Plasma, CRT, etc) you just are going to have reflection. I have mine to the side of a large wall made of glass. So it's a mirror when there is light and no picture on the set, or it's a night sceen on the set and I had the drapes open in daylight. The brighter sceens have minimal reflection. IMHO the LCD sets I viewed in the brick and mortars had reflection also.



I would do this purchase over again in a heart beat. After a few weeks I'll post an update.

 "Hard to beat the deal." 2009-11-05
By A. D. Bailey (Carrollton, VA)
I gave hard consideration to buying Samsung's 58 inch B650 but couldn't pass Amazon's deal on the Panasonic's 58S-1 with the Blu-ray. I wound up paying $1475 for the TV which is $200 cheaper than what I paid for my 50 inch Samsung two years ago. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that others have, it has everthing that I will use consistently. The picture is great and sound is not an issue as I'm hooking it up to an A/V Receiver. For the $$ I saved, I can buy a good mount and some HDMI cables. Delivery for this monster was within a week.

We upgraded from a 9 year old Sony rear projection tv hdtv. Wow, picture quality is amazing!!! I have a hdmi connection with DirectTV and the picture is soooo much clearer. Got the tv delivered from Amazon for $[...] total so, it is a great value.
