Okay folks, time for more.

I've decided to describe and review another TV from 2010.
  • VIERA TC-P50G25 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV
So yeah,  G25. One of the newer models.

I'll review this next TV to give you more taste of Panasonic's plasma TVs. I'll do this also because the blog isn't very popular, lol, so maybe more content and information will attract ya people! And ofc I hope you will like it.

If you are already here reading all of this, great. Don't forget to leave a comment and simply say what you think.

Plasma TV series from 2009 and 2010

It came to my attention that certain models of the TVs have their blacks fade much faster than it should be. I have only stumbled upon very very few reports of such a thing happening. Anyway, people said that the blacks were going into more like gray just after 1000-3000 hours of usage.

What's worth mentioning is that those negative reviews were a minority and other cusotmers commented on them saying that those people were unlucky or simply they don't know what they are talking about. Heh, a seed of doubt was planted nonetheless.

Any negativity on the levels of black was on models from 2009. Nothing bad about those from 2010. That's why I'll list all TV models and the years for you, just in case.

2009 series:
X1 (720p), X14 (720p), S1, S14, U1, C1 (720p), V10, G10, G15, Z1

2010 series:
VT20, VT25, G20, G25, S2, U2, C2 (720p), X24 (720p)

Of course all of these are plasmas. Some are 720p, as you can see.

One model from 2010 that I wrote about --> Here
And a link to this TV on amazon --> Here
Of course you can just go there and search for a TV that interests you :)

Best prices and service?

That's just my opinion, but Amazon wins hands down. Very low prices and according to many many customers - excellent service. Can't really complain about them. Plus it's a very large company that sells worldwide and for many years already, so you can trust them.

Oh and did I say that free shipping is available? :)

The three TVs that I described are all available on Amazon, so I've added links in the descriptions of each TV.

Remember that I am accepting requests. You can ask me to write a description and look for reviews of a certain TV. Also, don't forget to leave comments regarding what you would like to see improved and/or changed!

Have a nice day :)

Hope it was ok!

Yup, I hope that you liked how I described and reviewed those 3 TVs.

Surely you have noticed that each post (description/review) was written in a bit different style or contained different info. Maybe something was missing? I simply don't know what you want to see. Therefore I ask you, readers, to leave comments with suggestions!

Tell me what would you like to see changed in my posts, what info I should give on each TV etc. Whatever comes to your mind.

Plus, I don't mind if you request a review and a bit of research on a specific TV.

So don't be shy and share your thoughts :)

VIERA S1 Series TC-P65S1 65-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV - Customer Reviews

Hmm okay... I'm not surprised this time. It was easy to find streams of positive comments and reviews. The bad ones? Well, that was a though task, again.

If you have read my previous posts (especially customer reviews of the two TVs) then know that this TV is no different, when talking about positive sides. So I could speed through all the reviews and write about sharp, vivid images, deep blacks, multiple useful/cool features and so on. No real need to do that, simply know that it is praised :P

Oh, two things, the price, which is good, considering that it's a 65 inch TV, plus a word about the four fans on it's back - they are very silent.

Let's look at the bad things!

  • Weight - a little bit over 150 pounds (around 68kg), which may give problems with mounting on a wall.
  • Sound - yeah, could be better. Of course I'm talking about the sound from the TV's speakers. Who wouldn't use external ones though?
  • Non-HD shows - they look... not very pleasant, because of the TV's size!

That's it I think. If I find any other complaints/issues, I'll add them here.

VIERA S1 Series TC-P65S1 65-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV - Description

Hey :) The last TV from my list. VIERA TC-P65S1.

This one delivers sharp, detailed images, insane deep blacks and remarkable brightness. All of this makes watching sports and cinema-quality movies a real joy. Lower power consumption is another aspect of this TV (Energy Star qualified).

Overall, great improvement from older models.

Let's see the list of the coolest and most important features:


  • 600Hz Sub-field Drive (while using cinema mode) - This technology assures superb quality of full-HD motion and still images.
  • VIERA Image Viewer - Watch and show your photos right after you take them. Simply insert an SD card into VIERA to display photos on the large screen.
  • VIERA Link - Allows interconnected operation of various AV devices using only the VIERA remote control, by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable.
  • Wide Color Viewing Angle - Same as in my previous description of VIERA TC-P46G10. You can see vivid and detailed images from any angle.
  • AR Filter - Great reduction of reflections from external light.
  • Game Mode - Maximal reduction of time lag, enhanced details - everything a gamer needs.


This basically covers the third TV from my list. Now just wait for customer reviews :)

VIERA TC-P46G10 46-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV - Customer Reviews

The majority of all the comments and reviews I've seen (and I mean majority, like 95%) are fully positive.

This TV was often described as "the best", with "perfect picture quality", "beautiful, true colors", "deep black levels".

People were also mentioning that according to some kind of research this TV is the brightest plasma available. Well, not only research. A word about its brightness was included in many comments and personal reviews.

Anyway, let's cut to the chase. I bet you all know how this TV is/was praised. What you want to hear are the complaints. Once again, it wasn't easy to find bad words about this one.

  • Speakers could be better (we have heard this one before, didn't we? Anyway, others were saying that the sound is great, so I really don't know what to think, bleh)
  • VieraCast is limited and needs improvement. Some people also said that it's somewhat slow.
  • Very annoying flickering with 48hz (makes this feature useless, I guess)

I'll look for more complaints and add them here, if I find something serious :)

VIERA TC-P46G10 46-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV - Description

Following what I want to do (that is: writing about and reviewing those TV's), I present you with the description of the next TV.

Of course in the terms of picture and viewing quality this TV is similar to the previous one. Cinema-like movies, clear and smooth sports and gaming action. With Panasonic's Neo PDP technology you get sharp and detailed images, deep blacks and remarkable brightness.

600Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1,080 lines of resolution. Wide color viewing angle, which essentially means that you can watch the TV from anywhere in the room and still admire vivid colors and all the details. Plasma TV's are self-illuminating, that's why images look perfect from any angle and black areas do not fade. Furthermore, AR Filter dramatically reduces reflections from external light.

Game Mode helps ensure fluid and seamless gameplay by minimizing time lag. You get the motion resolution and enhanced details you need to win! :D

One more nice thing - VIERA Cast technology, which allows you to enjoy online content like Amazon Video On Demand, YouTube videos, Picasa Web Albums, stock information, weather and more. All through an easy-to-use Web interface that's built right into the TV.

TC-P50S2 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV - Customer Reviews

Hmm, going through a few sites and looking at the reviews of this TV leaves a very positive feeling. It's actually hard to find anything bad about this one, lol.

What are people saying?

Everything is amazing - refresh rate, picture quality, colors. Great black levels. Gamer mode which works fantastic and brings a lot of joy.

The TV itself looks good. People are also mentioning it's price, which is very low for such a TV (around $1100).

In many reviews that I saw there were absolutely NO complaints, because, as the reviewers stated, it was impossible to find anything to complain about.

I was digging deeper :P So here are a few bad things about this TV, still not much:

Speakers could be better (which still doesn't mean they are that bad, huh?), standard picture setting is somewhat noisy/grainy (but you can change to cinema setting and make adjustments there, so not much of a problem).

And... that's all. I could try to find more bad things, but why not just stop and accept the fact that this TV is goooood? :)

TC-P50S2 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV - Description

Let's begin with the first TV from my list. So what this one has to offer?

A new panel with NeoPDP technologies, which provides the best balance of black and white under brighter environments, together with higher energy efficiency. Add a few more things, like great reduction of reflections and sharp pictures with higher contrast and you get something very pleasurable for your eyes.

Clean Touch Bezel included in this model resists fingerprints, thus helping in keeping it clean. A very cool addition.

More goodies:
VIERA Image Viewer feature, which allows you to play a slideshow of images from an SD memory card.

    All right, a quick post. This is the list of Panasonic 1080p TV's that I'll write about in the future. If I decide to include more TV's in my posts later, I'll first add them to this post.

    Welcome!

    Hey, welcome to my blog.

    What I want to do here is write about 1080p TVs, as the title suggests :P My main focus will be on Panasonic TVs.

    Stay tuned, as I will write general overviews, pointing out every feature of a given TV and prons of buying one, as well as more critical, customer reviews, with both prons and cons.

    Later, after chosing a few really good TVs, I'll look for best prices and places over the internet, if you decide to purchase one.

    Check back often and look for updates! :)
