Most people who make a major purchase like a new TV put a fair amount of research in before they actually go ahead and buy. I've collated information from those who have bought the Panasonic Plasma Viera 50 TV and am sharing with you here their main points. I'll also let you know where you can read the full consumer reviews.
Picture Quality:
The vast majority of people who have bought the Panasonic Viera 50 rave about the picture quality in particular. A few of their comments include "Incredible picture quality"; "Superior picture quality"; "Incredibly realistic color reproduction" and "Picture quality is astounding, in that colors, blacks, whites, and grays are all accurately and sharply reproduced". The infinite black feature helps to make sure there is no graying, and consumers rave about the clarity and sharpness of the image.
Anti Glare
Many people mention how well the anti-glare works on this model - a few mention having large windows or bright lamps in the room with the TV and the fact that they're still able to watch the picture without the distraction of glare.
Sound Quality on the Panasonic Plasma Viera 50
This is an area which has mixed reviews. There are a few people who have found the sound quality disappointing, but others have said it's fine. The general impression is that it's not the best sound quality in a TV, but for the price it's okay. Comments on the sound include: "Sound quality could have been better -No 3.5mm audio or DVI connection "; "Unless you are expecting Bose-quality sound coming from the TV, the sound is fine and in fact better than our previous CRT TV"; "I have plans to add a home theater system anyway, so the weak sound won't be an issue"; "We use a sound system with it so we really don't know about its sound" and "The sound is fine. Naturally, it's better going through my stereo components."
All in all it seems the star of the show in everyone's eyes is the picture quality - I've not found any negative feedback on the quality of the picture for this model. My overall impression is that although this TV has some other great features - including internet and gaming etc. it's really for those who appreciate perfect picture and life-like colors without glare or graying. If you have a home theater, hook it up to that for an overall better experience.
One word of warning: If you're going to go ahead and buy a Panasonic Plasma Viera 50 make sure you buy it from a reputable dealer. If you're buying online, make sure it's new and not refurbished or you won't be covered by the warranty! To make sure your warranty is valid also make sure you're buying it from a company based in the USA.
