  The Good: Reproduces deep black levels and excellent shadow detail; solid color saturation; uses less power than previous 1080p plasmas; adequate connectivity with three HDMI and two component-video inputs.

  The Bad: Less accurate primary colors and color temperature; skimpy picture controls; still less efficient than comparable LCDs.

  The Bottom Line: With deep black levels and generally excellent picture quality, the more eco-friendly Panasonic TC-PS1 series of plasma TVs strikes an appealing price/performance balance.

  Review Summary: Plasma once dominated in the 46-inch flat-screen category because LCD panels that size were far more expensive. That's changed--the differences aren't as large as they once were--but Panasonic continues to ...

  Review Summary: The Panasonic TC-P46S1 would be a bargain 46-inch plasma HDTV if its image quality weren't so disappointing.

  The Verdict: In our lab tests, the TC-P46S1 received average scores for brightness (and judges remarked on how well it looked viewed from the side), but it was dragged down by subpar ratings for color, sharpness and detail, and overall image quality. Judges noted a...

  Review Summary: Available for about $840, the TC-P42S1 is well priced for a 42-inch Plasma. But it has some problems that make it a less than stellar pick, with problems rendering blacks and whites together and trailing on fast-moving images.

  The Verdict: Facing competition from LCD HDTVs, the price of plasma TVs has been falling recently. And the LC-P42S1 is a good example of this: it is very well priced for a 42-inch screen at around $840. And it's a decent display for the price, but it has a number...

  Review Summary: Panasonic TC-P50S1 plasma TV.  Panasonic brings the latest technology to town by the introduction of the Neo-PDP panel for a rapid decline in power consumption. The black levels are impressively better with a greater contrast ratio of 40,000:1 as well....

  The Verdict: A review suggests that the movies watched on the Cinema preset are soothing to the eye. However, the color accuracy is not so good. The color varies with the viewing angle. This seems to be an area where Panasonic can make vast improvements. As far as...

  Review Summary: Panasonic TC-P54S1 plasma TV.  Panasonic has tried to maintain a balance between the highly sophisticated V10 series and the lower-end X1 series. The result is the S1 series which although lacks some of the quality features of the V10 series, has all...

  The Verdict: I give this TV 5 Stars, and for the price, depending on where you shop for the set, it doesn’t get any better than this plasma. Standard tv is quite good, High Defintion both on the television broadcast and Blu-Ray ends are beautiful. For those who...
