Pixel breakup

Strengths:

Price

Weaknesses:

Pixel breakup with HD fast action

Posted Jan 4, 2006 - I purchased the Panasonic 52 inch LCD projection and am disappointed. Price was great with rebates ($1488 at local BiMart); however with cable HD feed, fast action, close figures break down into squares or become very grainy and blurry. Panasonic x2 not helpful with 50 minute waits both times. Cable people rechecked line and signal is good. DVD seems ok. Also regular TV projection is much worse than with other analogue sets in house, even considering large size. Considering return and switch to DLP unit, although the new 1080 p chips are over double my cost. Another negative: the stand bows outward about 4-5 inches, making flush mount with closing cabinet doors impossible. Positives: SD player is nice and low cost.

Good quality projection TV -

Strengths:

Low cost (rebate) and sharp picture (especially in HD)

Weaknesses:

Slow warm up time - 30 seconds to view

Posted Jan 28, 2006 - After extended research, decided on this TV, partly due to cost savings, but especially when compared to DLP, picture was crisper and colors more vivid. It DOES take some time to turn on, an aspect hard to get used to when ready to watch a movie. Great for gaming (Gamecube) and not bad for sound - though sound system is FAR better! :) Also a great choice when getting over the air signal, as the picture is still pretty decent (when compared with DLP.) There are also a lot of connectivity options in the back so you can really hook up all of your components if needed (no sound system). I am a little worried about the lamp, but due to great cost, not too worried when it comes to that point that I'll need to replace it, and I'm sure the cost will come down with time. Overall, very happy with my choice and thus far, my experience has been very positive!

Grreat TV at a decent cost

Strengths:

Sharp, clear image

Weaknesses:

slow to display image after initial turn on

Posted Nov 7, 2005 - Our family likes this television and was impressed at the quality of the image. The TV is not heavy at all and can easliy be moved by 2 persons. Even with a lot of daylight in the room the image does not fade or appear washed out. The warranty on the bulb is 18 months, which must have been extended by the manufacturer as a single page insert was placed in the owners manual.

Great TV, Poor Instruction Manauls

Strengths:

Picture and sound are great.

Weaknesses:

It takes a few seconds for the picture to appear when changing channels.

Posted Mar 3, 2006 - We have this TV hooked up to Directv. Both the manuals from Panasonic and Directv are very poorly written. We are on the phone with both "tech desks" and are slowly writing our own manual. Still have not figured out how to split the screen, or set the VCR to tape a show when we are out.
