I was on the market for a plasma TV for 5 years and finally decided to pull the trigger. Specifically, I compared and Samsung, Panasonic and characteristics both outside, but I always considered the best for the Panasonic 2 with respect to plasma technology.To begin with I was more in the way of adjusting the color, but I can not complain to me is more than just set the tv. As expected, the quality standard (480i) is nothing to write home about. However, it is better than most LCD TVs in this department. I have a Roku box for streaming movies from Netflix and Amazon.The S-video is to show a nice respectable image in the 720, better yet, using the streaming of high definition video HDMI (1080i). Now for Blu-ray. I will probably never buy a Blu-ray on their own, I bought a PS3, I connected through a Sony receiver (HDMI) and the TC-P46S1 via HDMI. The display 1080p on this unit, I believe, is unique for this price.The only difference between this unit (series S1) and the G1 series is the addition of a LAN port and the THX certification on the G1. The LAN port does Panasonic Viera expressed that the PS3 can not do to access the BD-Live content from Blu-ray. THX could help with the display of 1080p content at 24fps film, but side by side is th41e same native resolution and 40,000:1 dynamic 2,000000:1.Here are the most important things you can say about my purchase:1) TV directly from Amazon I repeat, not the order of one of its partners. My first was broadcast on television and cracked totally destroyed but because I got it directly from Amazon can ship me another, immediately and without complications. These televisions are fragile and May have problems in the transport of goods be smart and order it directly from Amazon.2) There is a TV with a nice large image, but especially at night. Plasmas do not do well in daylight. When the darkness and I watch a movie is wonderful. Do not buy a plasma quarter.3) It is a model of value which means a lot to gain from their investment, but there is not much for fancy bells and whistles. It is good especially if there is an update to its first high-definition television.4) the HD channels look amazing the strings are not very good. Because this TV is so strong that all the imperfections you see something that is not HD. I really can not see the newspapers, even the non-HD channels, as it seems terrible.

I ordered the TC-P46S1 Amazon on July 6. TV was delivered exactly one week later by CEVA Logistics. Fantastic service!Now, to all. I have two televisions in the past 15 years. The first is a 19 Zenith CRT. The second was a good 27? CRT Apex that I bought from Sams Club about seven years ago. I was waiting to buy a decent HDTV up to 1080p in September was available for a price I considered reasonable if amortized over a period of ten years. Each person has their own definition of reasonable, but I felt the time had finally arrived.I researched this purchase for about two months. From the beginning, I decided I wanted to Panasonic plasma. Plasma is the only choice for those who want the best image possible at a price. The only question was which model and what size? There are three models in my price range when I decided to buy the X1, S1, and the G10. The X1 is the set of the range Panasonic 720p plasmas. It comes in 42 and 50? sizes. For my distance (10 feet), 720p possibility was final. The series is lower S1 Panasonic 1080p Plasma line. The G10 is a step up from the S1 and includes a THX mode and Viera Cast, Panasonic Internet and video on demand service. A decent rule of thumb is that each step up the size of about $ 200 and each step in the type of model is about $ 200. For example, the 42 G10 is around the same price as 46 S1, and 50? X1.I created cardboard models of 42 , 46? and 50 series and placed where television is going to help you determine the correct size. It quickly became apparent that 42? is too small, while 50 is too big for my personal taste. The 46 was perfect. Unfortunately, this eliminated the X1 Series statement because there is no 46 in this line. I bought the X1 was available. This September is the best high definition for the money that is available now , IMO. Still, 46 was the sweet spot for me, so Ill have to go to a better model. Now the question is should I go with the TC-P46S1 or TC-P46G10?In my case, I was planning to buy the Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray to go with the whole. When I was ready to buy, Amazon offers $ 150 for the BD player when you buy in September with a S1 or $ 200 when buying a G10 in September. The price of the BD60 was $ 200 itself, so that the agreement is irresistible. The BD60 also offers Viera Cast, which would have duplicated this functionality, so I went with the G10 in September. Thus, the decision was whether I wanted THX for an extra $ 150. Ultimately, I decided the cost not worth it and went with the S1. I have no regrets about this decision at all.The color and detail on this subject in September was fantastic. Watching the BBC Planet Earth Blu-ray in 1080p is impressive September inspiring! This package together with the BD60 is a match in the sky and a much better configuration than many other cost hundreds of dollars more. Colors more realistic (and perhaps more realistic with a few adjustments or a professional ISF calibration). It has many connections, including three HDMI inputs, however, I found that pairing with a good AV receiver that has HDMI is the number of connections on all relevance. Even the onboard sound on the TV is decent, but if you buy a TV of this caliber, you want to connect to a sound system worthy to enjoy the full home theater experience. The series also has an SD card slot for viewing photos, so that television can be held in a very large digital picture frame if youre so inclined.One of the blows against the plasmas they are put off more heat than LCDs. Really, this is not a problem, IMO. The amount of heat generated is much less than a much smaller CRT. Yes, it is hotter than an LCD display, but are you really ready to live with all the defects of the LCD (least contrast range, the poor off-angle viewing, and poor black levels), just to have TV is a little cooler? Are you watching TV in your living room or a freezer? A review which is a possible concern is that the anti-reflection coating is not very effective. If you have any thoughts that you are unable to control, you want May to consider an LCD, although the best LCDs have glass panels instead anyway screens mats. Overall, I do not think you can buy a better TV for the money (well, maybe the TC-P50X1).
