| 48 of 52 people found the following review helpful  Sets the new high bar for home television, By Brandon (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Panasonic VIERA TC-P65VT50 65-Inch 1080p Full HD 3D Plasma TV (Electronics) Pilot freight services delivered my unit May 8th, 3-days sooner than advertised. While I was apprehensive about set-up, an HDMI (not included) and power cord were all that was needed to start watching programs through my receiver. I'm a big guy, so hefting the TV onto its base wasn't such an ordeal, but I will note that most people will need help with this chore. I opted not to put it on the wall due to its weight and my living room's space restrictions (not to mention the extra price/non-availability of a wall bracket). The pedestal required a Philips screwdriver to construct and does not swivel in the slightest. Upgrading to 65-inches, I don't miss that feature.The viewing experience is as advertised. Out of the box, the VT50 is set very dark. Unless the unit will be placed in a home theater, you will need to use a custom or the "THX Bright Room" setting. At any setting, however, you will note the incredible degree to which blacks are displayed. I tested some...

Panasonic has taken the same model the "VT30" and made it better and faster largely improving the smartTV aspect.Upgrades over "VT30": Touch pad controller. This is obviously designed to combat LGs motion remove (like a Wii controller) and Samsung voice controls. Out of all of these I dislike Panasonic the most. Unless you love laptop mouses, you probably will too. Web-browser. This is not were it needs to be as far as usability, but they are definitely going in the right direction. I still find that I use my computer for web browsing as it performs more and does it quicker. Also along the same lines though the VT50 now has built in WiFi which I prefer over the wasted external connection of last year. The new color filters and processing. The color and black and whites on the VT30 were already to die for, this series does it even better. In a time when TV are slowly... Read more 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful VT50 King of the Plasmas, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Panasonic VIERA TC-P55VT50 55-Inch 1080p Full HD 3D Plasma TV (Electronics) I bought this TV from Amazon about 3-4 weeks ago. I had been looking at getting a new TV since my 6yr old 42" Philips Plasma wasn't cutting it for me anymore. I almost bought the VT30 but saw all the high praise and reviews from CES 2012, so I decided to wait. While I cannot review on the VT30 the VT50 is an absolutely amazing tv. Before I give my review I would like to mention that the shipping company Amazon used to ship the TV was excellent. They were very careful and took their time opening and showing me that the tv was in perfect condition.Pros: This tv has many pros that have already been discussed. The black levels are incredible. I have not calibrated the tv yet but just using the cinema THX mode, the black levels are very good. I know many people with the Pioneer Elite and Kuros and this TV stands up with them no problem. The color reproduction is clean and not overbearing in the THX mode. In gaming mode the colors are a little too bright. Watching golf in... Read more |
