Panasonic TC-P50X1

Reviewer: YouReviewElectronics.com
16 May 2009
Up for review: Panasonic TC-P50X1 50-inch Plasma TV . The X1 series from Panasonic deviates from the higher-end Panasonic models released this year. It has some downgraded features like a resolution of 720p and limited contrast ration. But if you want a large flat-screen HDTV then the Panasonic TC-P50X1 should definitely be considered at its price. The black levels are great and the overall picture is steady. Read more

Panasonic TC-P50X1 is a VIERA X1 Series 50-" Plasma HDTV that brings high-quality viewing enjoyment to your home. With vivid colors from 6,144 steps of gradation and x.v. Colour, this plasma HDTV once again puts Panasonic ahead of the pack. Add the resolution of 720 lines with the 600Hz sub-field drive, no wonder it is THX display certified. Read more

Panasonic TC-P50X1 Review

Reviewer: The Best Plasma TV
2 weeks ago
The main attraction of Panasonic TC-P50X1 is, no doubt, the price, a thing that comes naturally, as this 50 inch plasma TV is an entry level product, without fancy features. While you cannot compare this Panasonic plasma TV with top of the line models, rest assured that the image quality is more than what you pay for. One would expect Panasonic TC-P50X1 to perform in the same way as a C1 model, because they share the same 720p resolution, but this is not the case; the X1... Read more

If you are looking for a no frills with the usual Panasonic fantastic plasma picture, this TC-P50X1 is for you! Easy, FAST, setup with an easy remote that is straight forward! No confusing and complicated settings with this HDTV. I used CNETS settings which was similar to another report I read and you can just sit back and ENJOY! Played Transformers via Pansonic DVD and picture is out of this world with steady flow expected from a Plasma. This TV does have 24p. This 50... Read more

Incredible value - stunning picture

Reviewer: ABT Electronics

Bought this on sale at [$]. Would love an LED, but this is incredible picture quality and a great looking set. I have had a Sony 1080p 60 inch for 3 years and, while I love that set, this puts it to shame as far as value and quality. Wall mounting makes it spectacular. Can't believe this cost $2,800 just three years ago. Read more

Got this TV for parents for after extensively researching the internet to find the largest TV for under $700. Could not find a 50" TV for anywhere close to the price of this Panasonic. Went to Best Buy to check out the image quality and it looked fine, but not great. Once I got it set-up, was blown away by how good the image looked. The TV does look best under low light conditions like all plasma TVs. For the money you can't go wrong. Read more
