Top Price-Performer... A Great Buy
Purchased for our master bedroom, the Panasonic TC-P50X1 50" 720p has true brilliant color, impressive blacks, great resolution (looks like a 1080p to me and I am a picky engineer), surprisingly good sound and great looks. It sports the lowest price per square inch of screen area and beats LCDs hands down with its 600Hz refresh rate (absolutely no motion blur) and looks the same no matter where you are in the room. After considerable research, the TC-P50X1 was the clear choice due to its price, ...

Three letters .... WOW
I was going back and forth between the 720p and the 1080p and I could not see a difference, they had both side by side, and for the $700 difference it was not worth it to me. I bought the TV at best buy because they matched a competitor online price and that also brought the 4 year warranty down to only $159! Once the tv was delivered (free!) and my HD from directv was set up (free!) I was blown away by the quality. Great color and sharpness, I have it hooked up via HDMI and it is great. My b...

++++great value, even better picture++++
I'll sum this up in two words, amazing picture! I bought this tv to replace a 37" Sharp Aquos LCD and it's been the best electronics choice I've made in a long time! I really enjoy this tv to date, which has a strong contrast ratio 30,000:1, which just dwarfed my older LCD that had only 1,200:1, I won't even discuss the refresh rate (but actually was not an issue on the Sharp). Furthermore the value per inch is really unparalled given the quality of this tv. Having done my homework, a 1080p i...

Great TV for the price
After many months of searching, we settled on the Panasonic 50 inch plasma 720p. The folks at CNET were unable to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a 50-inch TV and after looking at Best Buy and others, we really couldn't either. Besides, once it's in your house, it looks a lot better.
We are very pleased although it's been less than a week.
We used to own a 50-inch Samsung HD-DLP tv, which we bought in 2004. The picture on the new TV is significantly bette...

Fantaistic TV, but give it a little time.
I purchased this from amazon. Initial delivery was scheduled for 7 days after I placed the order over the weekend. First call from shipper moved the delivery up 3 days, second call moved it up one more day. Delivered on Wednesday, just 3 days after placing the order.
Truck showed up with just the driver. Was expecting two people, but one was enough to get the job done. Brought it in and unpacked it. I had the wall mount ready to go, so he attached the brackets to the TV and hung it on...

Nice TV, but...
Wacky shipping. Ordered on Sunday, estimated delivery was for Friday. I noticed on the cryptic tracking info that the TV appeared to be at the freight terminal the day after I ordered (Monday). When the status didn't change by Friday, I made some calls tracking down the freight company & found that the TV was indeed just sitting at the terminal, which I found out was less than 3 miles away. I went & picked it up myself. On that next Tuesday (8 days after ordering) the freight carrier called and ...

Gorgeous Picture but have questions
Bought the TV at a local store. Believe me when I say this the picture is much nicer at home than in the store.
However one should understand before purchasing this TV that there is glare/reflectons if there are windows in front of the TV. Additionally the frame/border wround the picture is high-gloss. The relections on this border are very bright. To some people this might be a problem. Luckily I watch most of my TV during the evening. When I do watch it during the day, I sit on an ...

Great picture but....
I bought a Panasonic TC-P50X1 rather than the Z800U. Both sets were side by side at a local retailer and I thought the 800U looked better with the identical settings. Since the TV is for my cottage, I could not justify the $800 difference. Once up and running I have only one regret. I always connect my tvs to my stereo system. This set does not have audio outputs for RCA cables. There is a digital audio out which does me no good. This is a glaring oversight so caveat emptor.

My first plasma, and I'm mostly happy
We recently purchased this TV as a replacement for our aging 36" CRT and have been pretty happy overall. The picture is nice and bright and the controls are well laid out. The problem begins with the S-Video input from our DirecTivo unit. The picture was flawless on our old screen (with the same setup) but the new plasma shows a vertical line of blocks in the center of the screen(1). This doesn't happen while playing games on our XBox-360 hooked up to the component interface. But the bigges...

Think twice before you buy Panasonic
Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: This would be a nice TV if Panasonic would support it -- but they won't.
Cons: The "support" people who answer the phones (after a typical 45 minute wait) don't know anything about the TV. They can only read the manual to you. I did eventually get through to "Team 6" which is their advanced resolutions department. "Team 6" seems to know more a...
