A top product for the price

Strengths: The picture is brilliant and the motion of the imagery is realistic.

Weakness: The SD Card slot. !!Read the manual on page 23 before you insert your card.

This is an excellent TV for the money. I went to HHGREG to buy an LCD HDTV. I was well informed of the higher quality for the price point I wanted to stay at would be this plasma TV and they were right. I have not found a better TV for the money. Plasma has received a bad name. The technology has come such a long way since they first came out and Panasonic has perfected it. The color, motion,...

Great TV

Strengths: Excellent product for the price! Good picture, solid TV! For the money hands down its the best TV.

Weakness: Skin tones might look a little off. Only 3 HDMI inputs

Quite honestly i looked around for this TV since it is the new Panasonic technology. Let me tell you I could not be any happier. Do not hesitate to buy the TV.

I Love This Plasma Set!

Strengths: Great picture, ease of set up and use, Viera Link

Weakness: None

I finally traded in my Sony 40" direct view HDTV that I purchased in 2001. I did a lot of research before purchasing this Panasonic plasma. I was unsure whether plasma or LCD would be better for the viewing conditions in my home, but after seeing the Panasonic at the store, I knew what I wanted. I live in a high rise condo, and my den isn't that large, so I purchased the 42" version of this...

Fantastic television across the board!

Strengths: Picture clarity/color, refresh rate, and anti-glare screen.

Weakness: Nothing yet.

After researching televisions for over two months (and even returning one television during that time), I was sold on the 1080p, 42" Panasonic Viera when I saw it at a local eletronics retailer. The clarity is amazing, the colors are stunning, and the 600Hz refresh rate is a must have for the sports/action movie enthusiast. Even in a well lit room, the anti-glare screen eliminates nearly all...

Excellent

Strengths: Beautiful picture. Decent remote. Easy to set up.

Weakness: Glossy finish on TV (Some may not like it, but I do).

Wonderful TV. I bought it as a replacement for a second off-brand TV that I returned. Excellent choice. I also had it on sale (even better.) I was extremely pleasantly surprised when I set it up. The picture even beats my 52" LCD Sony. I am very happy. I have had this TV a couple of weeks now and wish I had gotten it in the first place. I will be buying another for my third bedroom.

Panasonic TC-P42S1

THE GOOD: Reproduces deep black levels and excellent shadow detail; solid color saturation; uses less power than previous 1080p plasmas; adequate connectivity with three HDMI and two component-video inputs. THE BAD: Less accurate primary colors and color temperature; skimpy picture controls; still less efficient than comparable LCDs. THE BOTTOM LINE: With deep black levels and generally excellent...

Panasonic VIERA S1 Series

The VIERA S1 Series is Panasonics mid-range line of plasma HDTVs and incorporates their 2009 NeoPDP technology though removes some of the extraneous features found in the high-end series. As a step-down from the G10 Series, the major feature missing from the S1s is Panasonics VIERA Cast Internet connectivity, this comes along other more minor differences such as the lack of video playback of...
