Panasonic Viera TCP50G25

So, to the TV itself! It comes with a swivel stand, back lit remote (with batteries) a deatailed instruction manual and a quick start guide.

Set up was really easy. Panasonic have even made the bo easy to manage as well, that's got to be a first! There are some plastic clips integrated with the box that flip off allowing you to remove the entire lid with ease, excellent ease of use!

Getting the screen on to the swivel stand was easier than I thought. Ideally you need a hand from someone, but the set irtself is nice and light and it slips in easily.
So, let's lay the final ghost of Plasmas to rest shall we? The room I set my Panasonic Viera TC-P50G25 Plasma up in is big and it's bright. Once I'd got down to the last three TV sets I was intersted in I pulled a few strings and got some of my AV friends to let me have home demos.

O.K, I know this isn't an advantage most people have, but...this was a big purchase for
me and I needed to watch my Chelsea games with exactly the right colour (color - Ed) and brightness. It was a key feature for me to have a bright, clear, crisp and contrast full picture. And I was worried about what I'd heard about a Plasma set in a bright room. I needn't have worried! The picture was amazing especially for watching football (it's soccer Brad - Ed) and other sport.

Football (sorry - Ed) is a colouful (ah, I give up, excuse the English - Ed) spectacular and it was the colour of the World Cup that made me decide HD was the way forward having watched many of the games in HD. So, I was delighted with how bright and vibrant the picture remianed even on a bright sunny day and yes we do occassionally get them in England! The action was crisp and crystal clear, and I was sold.

And, with an added anti-glare feature, the screen reduces the natural reflective characteristics of glass down to virtually none.

"One of the best sets out there!", 2010-10-16
After many weeks of research i finally decided to buy this set. The pros outweigh the cons for this set. Here is some of the results of my research.
Pros
-excellent picture quality
-deep blacks
-internet apps
-deals nicely with motion
-anti-reflective filter (does not block all reflection but compared to others it combats reflection really well)
-anti-image retention tools (pixel orbiter and screen swipe feature)
-overall great quality tv for the price (compare an equally good quality lcd/led and at this size you will be looking a much more expensive price tag)
Cons
-speakers aren't that great (do the job but could be better. I use a home theater system so not too important to me.)
-Panasonic's problems with rising black levels (most experts say even after black level rise the tv's levels are still better than other sets)
-floating blacks (some complain that the black letter boxes fluctuate from dark and lighter blacks. Key word is some, as i have not witnessed this problem with my set.)
-no 24p cinematic play back (it has a pulldown capability. Personally, my eyes cannot tell the difference in 24p playback and standard 60hz playback)
Overall i am very happy with my purchase and the quality of the picture. Switching from an high end LCD i can honestly say this set blows it out of the water. Personally with all the new advances in plasmas i cannot see myself going back to an LCD (fluorescent or led backlighting). Panasonic is generally considered to be the best plasma tv manufacturer. (besides the idolized Kuros of course lol) But i did research more than just plasmas so if you are looking for a good quality LCD i would suggest an set with led backlighting and local dimming as they offer the best blacks available for LCD tvs. These sets however are very expensive, much more than this set. Only the higher end LED LCD TVs can even be compared to this set.

I spent a good deal looking around and this is the TV that came out on top. This is my first HDTV and I couldn't be happier.

Well I've had this TV for a little over a month now, no problems so far. The picture is very very very good, a step up from anything I've seen, and it processes motion really well. There is no weird motion blur happening between the foreground and background that I've seen on a lot of LCD's. Blu rays look incredible. Can't really comment on VieraCast as I don't have it connected to the internet. Menus are easy and intuitive. For the price on Amazon I believe the TV was a steal. My only gripe would be Amazon's choice of CEVA for delivery, as it was rather shady.. I would recommend this TV to anyone looking for the best picture out there for the cheapest price.

Purchased via Amazon after first attempting to purchase with Best Buy (who couldn't make the promised delivery date). Very satisfied with Amazon and saved $$$'s - especially on the HDMI cables. Had considered LED, but chose this Plasma for its advantage in deep black levels and 600hz refresh rate.
Contacted Amazon contract courier proactively after ordering and TV arrived via "white glove" service as promised (delivered, unpacked, setup in 2nd floor bonus room, packaging removed from premises).
Kept on THX mode the first 100hrs as some recommend. Movie "Avatar" is amazing in blue ray, although THX mode made the natives appear more green than blue, simple adjustment in custom mode and it was like looking thru a window. Vivid is too bright for my taste.
No buzzing and am pleasantly surprised by the very good speaker quality.
Kid's PS3 games jump out at you, and enjoying sports and Mecum car auctions now in high definition.
Would recommend this set in an instant! Mediabridge HDMI cables appear exceptionally well made and saved $40 per set over comparable cables sold at Best Buy.
