Panasonic Plasmas?
I have been researching TVs and I think I want the Panasonic 50" Plasma S60.
Does anyone own a TV in the S60 line? |
I'm not sure what line my 50" Panasonic Plasma is, but I've had it about 3 years. Love it, no problems what so ever.

Yes.
They are awesome. |
I own a Panasonic Plasma, 46" i think. I love the thing, it's been great. It also communicates with other Panasonic Devices via HDMI. I have a Panasonic home theater connected to it and it powers on/off and switches outputs/inputs based off what the T.V is doing.

I have a 42" Viera model and its been great.
|
The last time I checked. Panasonic were #1 for Plasma's and Samsung for LCD's. I don't know who for LED's.
|
I would marry my Panasonic plasma. Best tv I've ever owned.
|
Agree with the above. I had a 2007 65" Viera in my last house. Bought a 60 Viera SmartTV with 3D (which I didn't want and never use but it's an option that came with it) when I recently moved. Only complaint is whenever you turn it on the Home Menu for the smart TV comes up rather than defaulting to full-screen cable TV feed. You just have to push the exit button every time.
Also, the speakers on all the flatscreens now are in the edge of the backside of the TV, designed to bounce acoustically off its surroundings. I bought a sound bar for better sound. But it's a big room and I wanted more crisp sound. |
Love my Panasonic S50 50" plasma.
|
I have a GT60.....and it blows away my samsung LED. Best tv hands down.
And awesome for gaming and fast motion sports |
I have that exact tv, bought it in June I love the picture. The only downside is if there is a lot of light in the room there is a small glare on it. Other then that its amazing looks so good.

I have the ST60 model. It was the only 5 start review I've ever seen on CNET for Tv's.

Damn speakers in the back? In my room I have one of those mounts that angle out from the wall and I doubt that would work well with the TV at a 45 degree angle from the wall

I can't rave enough about the Panasonic ST60 and the LG sound bar. 2 of the best entertainment purchases I've ever made. |
OMFG you guys. After posting this thread I randomly searched Slickdeals for "panasonic plasma" to see if there was anything and the exact ****ing model I want was on sale at Sears down from $800 at $500.
It's the 50" S60. And I signed up for some rewards program when I bought it and got an extra $18 back. Get this shit while it's hot. http://www.sears.com/panasonic-50inc...1&blockType=G1 |
Wow this tv ****ing rocks. Sucks it only has 2 hdmi inputs though
|
I have the ST50 55" and it has been great. Excellent picture for the price so long as you don't have an overly bright room. Should be some nice deals out there with Panasonic announcing they are killing off their plasma line.
Only warning is be mindful of image retention. I have a tendency to use ESPN or ESPNNews as background TV while doing other stuff and all of static crap they put on the screen has a way of sticking around (use zoom if you have a similar same habit). |

I'm worried about retention but from what I've read it's not an issue on this TV. However, I turned on my PS3 and then played Planet Earth and on the bluray menu, it is completely black, I could see a little retention of the PS3's XMB.

You're going to love this TV. Can't get those legit blacks anywhere else outside of a CRT and those don't even exist any more. :) |

The netflix/amazon streaming is awesome. It's a great tv except for the sound. |
Why is Panasonic phasing out their plasmas again?
|
Sweet stuff guys. I'm gonna try out the Netflix app after I take the dog out. Happy I don't have to use my PS3 to Netflix anymore.

But yes, Panny plasmas are the shit. |
I was at Sam's Club last night... They have a Sharpe 90" Smart LED.... That would look great in my man cave!

so tempted |
It's listed as a Smart Television but specs say it doesn't have streaming or web browsing.
what is so 'Smart' about it? |

|
Plasmas are all less energy efficient than LCDs which are less efficient than LEDs.
|
You're in good shape with either a Samsung or Panasonic.

I have seen the 1080p Smart version on sale for 499.
Sears would be the first place to check. |
