Panasonic TC-PU50

The inexpensive Panasonic TC-PU50 series in its superb picture quality surpasses many TVs costing hundreds more. Its black levels can get as deep as any but those of the very best plasma TVs. Color is accurate, off-angle viewing and uniformity are...

The TC-PU50 washes out in bright room lighting, and it can't get as bright in its most accurate picture mode as some plasmas this size. It has just two HDMI inputs. It also uses significantly more power than a like-sized LCD or LED TV.

A low price, excellent picture quality, and bare-bones features make the Panasonic TC-PU50 series a superb entry-level plasma TV value.

Picture, Deep Blacks, Bright for Plasma, Good Price

Blinking lights of death, Panasonic Customer Support useless hassle

Big, viewing angle, deep blacks, relatively cheap compared to other plasmas (I got this for an excellent price like $1300), Panasonic. The colors are great and no issues whatsoever.

none but I wish it was bigger!

Value, Picture quality.

Limited settings and glare like all plasmas

Deep, saturated color. Fast response time for sports and movie images. Easy to use remote and on screen menus

NONE! If you need a brighter set in your living room, either wait for the sun to go down or erect some curtains. either way you will not be disappointed with the screen's performance.

TV has adequate pictures controls for an impressive image. Able to adjust picture in various modes to appropriate levels for regular Broadcasts (Standard), Movies (Cinema), Sports (Vivid) and Games (Custom). Roku2 XS, Blue-Ray provide "smart apps".

Unjustified that Panasonic doesn't provide full adjustment software on all their TV's like there is on VT software. They could offer VT owners a 20 year warranty, trade-in privilege or set the TV into a black granite bezel with ornate carved stand.

1080p,60" screen,gorgeous picture,600hz

Only 2 hdmi connections.

Took a while to dial in the settings for a good picture and at first I wasn't too thrilled with what I was seeing but patience and experimenting paid off and now the display looks like a Panasonic should.

Very limited settings available to tweak. It's obvious that Panasonic limited both features and controls to keep the cost down so this really isn't a con. If I wanted more setting controls I could have paid more for the next model up.

Low cost, great picture (for 2 mins)

It was DOA.
