Summary: Don't buy this product!
Comment: Good - The picture is fantastic.

Bad - I had to have it repaired 32 days after I bought it. Good thing it was still under warranty. 18 months after I bought it and now out of warranty,it developed a thin black horizontal line all the way across the screen about 8" up from the bottom. Cost to repair - $1600 !!!! This is more than I paid for it. Poor quality like this for a product that is this expensive is absolutely inexcusable.

Summary: Stunning
Comment: I have other plasmas, but this is the best picture I've seen. Excellent value. If you spend twice as much you can probably get a 1080p that has a better picture, but that will only have value with bluray because cable and satellite won't give you enough resolution now to push this TV.

Summary: Had it for ten months--Review Time
Comment: I purchased this Panasonic Plasma 50" ten months ago and I am now ready to write a formal review: ...

I bought it. We love it. You buy it. You will have one fantastic TV!

End of review. (No sense adding minutia to the review when the total product is superb).

Let me add one thing about Amazon. I purchased this through Amazon and it was my first big ticket purchase through them (obviously higher priced than today). I saved roughly $500.00 buying through Amazon. I paid no sales tax, where I would have paid 7% in Florida. I also saved an additional chunk of money as it was priced lower than Best Buy et al. I was pleased by the entire transaction, and Amazon even credited me $100.00 as the priced dropped soon after I ordered it. I was very impressed with Amazon, have since purchased some smaller items from them, and will be purchasing soon some high end Canon camera and lenses through Amazon. This Panasonic Plasma has a great quality picture. I do not see how any brand can have a better picture than this. I was torn between Pioneer and Panasonic, but now so pleased I chose this brand and model.

Summary: Near Perfection
Comment: I've now owned this tv for 14 months and have found it near perfect in every regard. The only "let down," is that non-HD shows are not as good as they were on my non-HD tv. That said,I would not go back to my non-HD tv for any price.

As mentioned by other reviewers here, the sports broadcast are particularly outstanding. Numerous visitors to my house have been blown away by the 50" broadcast of college and NFL football games ... they're simply incredible to behold. I've simply not seen any other HD tv with a picture as rich and sharp as this Panasonic. I've heard the latest versions, with super black color capability, present a better picture, but their cost is 6-7 times what people are paying for this 50" plasma ... and that speaks volumes about this Panasonic jewel.

Summary: A great HDTV
Comment: I bought this TV in January 2007 and I love it. The picture is phenomenal. A friend of mine bought the smaller version of this set and loves it too.
At this point in time (late Nov 2007), though, the newer models are out and so this one is likely outdated or will be discontinued soon. But if you can get one for a solid discount off the new models (say $1500?) you wouldn't be unhappy.

And as many others have written, set the Picture Mode to something other than Vivid for a more natural, pleasing view.
