Panasonic 46" Class Viera 1080p Plasma HDTV, TC-P46U1

we just bought this t.v the other day after shopping around.we went to our local best buy which they had a simular t.v for around the same price but...it wouldnt be here for 3 wks.and who wants to pay for a t.v u wont get for 3 wks?and it also wasnt a 1080p .so we got online and a walmart about a half hr away had one for cheaper than it was listed on here.which is always good.we got it home and set it up and its absolutly amazing!its a 46'' plasma.i would pick a plasma over a lcd anyday.b.c they can handle alot of movement.if u have kids or animals like us that run arond the house.a plasma is the way to go.the picture is clear,the sound is wonderful.even at volume 15 it will run u out of the room.lol.we haven't even hooked up the surround sound yet.we also play alot of video games which is great with this t.v b.c its a 1080p.which means the picture is really,really clear.so for the price and the over all performance i give it a 10!!!so if there's one in a town near u,drive there and get it.its totally worth it :)

I purchased this tv at my local walmart it was on sale for $498. Yes I said $498. I was shocked because the associate told us it was 788. It is a good tv. I don't have HD TV yet but it plays pretty nice. I have a Vizio 37 LCD and I think it plays a little better. My cousin has the same TV but he has HD and his plays much beter than ours. So I think once I get HD TV it will be great.

Bought this for the great price ($688) with an advertised $59 for 2 yr warranty on box. When I checked out was informed warranty quoted was wrong, should have been $120 for plasma tv. OK, let that slide. Got home hooked up and was not knocked out by HD definition at all. Everything very dark, even for plasma. Can't bring out detail after hours of tinkering. Does not look 1080i or even 720P. More like between 480 and 720p. Colors very vibrant and natural, no judder or blur BUT I felt everything was standard def again compared to my Philips LCD. Sound was distorted with moderate volume, remote control was impossible to work without hitting wrong buttons. Not what I expected from previous experience with Panasonic. A good 46" 1080p plasma is not going to sell for $700, caveat emptor, TANSTAAFL, etc. I am going to take this one back.

Even with plummeting electronics prices, this set is a remarkable value. With blu-ray and HD from satellite, the colors, depth, sharpness and clarity are first-rate. Audio is tinny, but hooked to amp with surround it's even better than watching movies on most theater screens these days. I usually second-guess myself on purchases like this but think this plasma unit beats out any of the higher-priced LCDs I've seen. My only complaint, really, is lack of a an output of any kind for a headphone and private listening.

The picture quality on this tv is extremely vivid. This tv is the best tv that i have owned by far, it exceded my expectations, and every time i turn it on it amazes me how good the picture and sound quality are.

This TV is definately one of the best bang for the buck TV's on the market. I hesitated for a week and read review after review because I was unsure about a cheap Plasma TV. I finally brought it home and love it. The picture is perfect. The motion is smooth and fluid. HD football games are a blast to watch. You want some specs? 1080P. 46 inch. 600 htz. over 900 motion lines of resolution. The specs on a typical LCD at this price would be 42 inch, 60 htz, 400 motion lines. Some say the plasmas are too dark. The first day at home it will seem darker than an LCD would. The Plasmas need 100 hours of break-in. Be really careful not to let a new plasma screen sit still or paused for the 1st week. The plasma cells need some time to harden. After a good 100 hour break in the tv is still susceptible to burn in, but it would take a few months of leaving your game paused for hours to do any permanent damage. Burn-in just doesn't happen any more unless you try to get burn-in. My TV has no image retention(ir) what so ever. Even if I leave my direct TV menu up for 10 minutes and then go to a black screen I have no IR whatsoever. This is definately one of the lightest Plasmas on the market(64lbs with no stand) so it will hang just as easily as an LCD. Some 46 inch LCD's actually weigh more than this. The sound out of the TV is wonderful. The highs are crisp and clear. There is no room filling bass, but what do you expect. Most people purchasing this TV will be hooking it up to a sound system anyways. The screen has a little reflection in it, but no worse than a good CRT TV. If you want your TV next to a 6ft high bay window than go for an LCD and cross your fingers. I have an open floor plan(living room, kitchen, dining room) with 3 windows and a patio door letting the sunshine in and the Tv is still really watchable and I haven't turned the contrast up over 65 yet! The only other down fall of the TV for me is it does not have a VGA input. My 1 year old laptop has no HDMI out so I will be buying a NET TOP computer to use for my home theatre($200 with mouse and keyboard that will do anything a laptop will) I love the TV. The moving picture is wwwaaaaayyyy better than a 60 or 120 htz LCD. The screen is plenty bright, but not over bright like a lot of people do with their LCD's. If you are debating then buy it, you will not be dissapointed!

love the price and the 3 hdmi ports but the picture is a little dark for me and when you game on it its good but liked the fluid motion of an lcd for gaming also concerned about burn in on the screen as well i might return only because i game a lot and i think an lcd would be better but thank you for the great prices walmart.

If your shopping around for a tv this is the one!! It has excellent everything and you cannot beat the price!! sure the sound isnt the best, but that is what surround sound is for. I've had tv for 2 wks and love it , this is my 2nd plasma and its the only way to go( also have mitsu. 60" that rocks) Buy this tv

For the last two months I have been reviewing TVs and I wanted to get a TV that I would love to watch..I finally found it with this Panasonic plasma. Fist I bought an LG LCD and tried it for a week and said to myself this is not a great set...so I took it back and got my money back.. Then back to the drawing board and then I was shopping at Walmart and saw an associate putting a new lower price on this 46 inch Panasonic. Well I bought it and could not believe that a got this TV for only $698!!!It amazes me every time I turn the set on. The picture is crystal clear, the sound is excellent and no need for any external sound of any kind. You could just tell the quality of the set right out of the box. The stand itself is made with quality and it is very sturdy and secure.. Other big screens seem to have weak wobbly stands. Buy this TV and you will be extremely satisfied as I am.. Plasama is the way to go and Walmart is the place to buy it..
