Incredible.
|Posted .Purchased for the living room, because of the pric, I wasn't looking for a mind blowing picture, but I have to say I'm very impressed. I also have a 2014/2015 Samsung 60" in my room. Spent quite a bit more for a near perfect picture, and they really aren't much different! Either way, for the price, it's much bang for the buck.

Perfect for our needs
|Posted .We needed a tv for the spot over the fireplace. Our contractor told me not to buy less than 50". I wasn't convinced we needed one that large but thankfully this Panasonic is perfect. The picture is great. Controls easy to manipulate. Great tv.

Decent TV at a good price point
|Posted .No, I would not recommend this to a friendThis TV is large and has a great price point. Not too expensive, and it seems well designed with good aesthetics. However, the out of box picture is wanting. You will have to adjust the picture for your room. This is normal on just about all TV's nowadays, but the menus and number of calibrations for this tv are lacking. You can adjust the normal stuff, contrast, tint, color and brightness. But you do not have a complete menu to get to any of the advanced settings. As a result, you have to really tinker with what you have to get the best picture. Another alternative is to pay Best Buy for calibration. But it was an economical purchase and I didn't want to do that. I'm good at calibrating to close to THX settings on my own, but this tv is a lot harder to do than some of the LG and Samsung sets I have owned, which have expanded calibration menus. But other than calibration difficulties, the final result is a very decent picture and I'm satisfied with the purchase.

Wonderful HD TV!
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI have had this TV for a couple of weeks now. The color is AWESOME! It has a beautiful picture, great sound, and was very easy to set up. I got it on sale at a great price and couldn't be more pleased with my purchase! I wasn't interested in a Smart TV so this set fit my needs. I previously had a Panasonic TV for over 15 years and it was still working great. I just wanted a larger flat screen TV and did not hesitate to get another Panasonic.

great picture for entry level tv in this size
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendGreat picture. Easy set up. Very sturdy. This unit sets on a free standing table and I was concerned at the wobble factor. None at all. Glad this was available.

Solid Buy...
Posted .I would recommend this to a friendFirst off this is a 500 dollar LED TV in a 50" by a name brand manufacturer. Second it is meant to be "entry level". Third, see comment one and two. Expecting to get great sound? Look elsewhere...as in a home theater receiver. Sound is weak but okay for a bedroom. Running this in a living room? Is it the main source of your home theater? Pony up and get real sound. Otherwise you are going to be disappointed with just about anything you buy regardless of price. Today's flat panels are made for the viewing experience, not the sound. Entry level? Forget about it. Regarding the picture I'm more than satisfied for my expectations. A long time ago (in tv years) I had a 40" Samsung LCD I was not happy with and bought a plasma to set right next to it in my home to really compare. LCD was total garbage compared to the entry level plasma it sat beside. Day and night. Apples to oranges. LCD was promptly sold to someone less discerning... Happy to report they've come a long way since then. You're not going to get the black levels of a plasma but you're not going to be disappointed either. No more weird pattern shifting on things as simple as panning. Movies like "DRED" are not going to be pretty. Granted I've only had the TV for a week but I've sampled a bunch of movies trying to get it dialed in. One group of settings is not going to cover every movie like a plasma. Maybe a higher end LED will come closer but that's not what this TV is... I'm very satisfied with it and would recommend it...and just as an informational bit, nothing is going to get a five star rating from me unless it's free and absolutely phenomenal so four is pretty danged good coming from me (o:

Would be great except for one flaw.
Posted .No, I would not recommend this to a friendThis television could be an absolute steal for the price, if it weren't for one thing: The color reproduction. Try and try you might but this TV at any color, brightness, contrast, or any other setting you could possibly tweak, turns anything green or yellow into the same shade of pine-tree green. The only way to circumvent this issue (which I guess would involve turning off the color processing this TV is very determined to do) is to set the input resolution of your device to 1366x768. That is the highest resolution setting you can use that doesn't trigger what I'm going to refer to as "pine tree mode". I have seen this on several units of the same model. Of course I can't test the resolution thing in a store but I assume other units would respond the same way and the green color reproduction flaw is readily apparent once you notice it. It seems very sad to have to use a lower resolution to get around a design flaw like this. It is a very interesting issue, because you can put up any color calibration image you wish, and you will easily be able to get a basic balance of red, green, blue, and the various shades of gray. You'll think you've got it fairly decent, you'll switch back to whatever source image or video you first noticed the green problem on, and boom, everything is the same shade of green again. Grass that is fairly yellow when viewed on at the 1366x768 resolution turns absolutely surreal green at 720P, 1080i or 1080p, and most other resolutions. You could describe it as the television thinking green and yellow are one and the same at standard HDTV resolutions. Again, to be clear, this issue doesn't occur at the 1366x768 resolution, so I am certain it is an image processing issue with the television. Same source video put into the TV from three different devices at 1080P gets the green overdose treatment. Same video at 1366x768 from two of the devices looks normal, and the same source video looks normal on any laptop, tablet, or other monitor I view it on. It IS the television doing this. Thankfully my computer and my video game system both offer resolution options, but a streaming device I have doesn't, which renders it almost unusable to me with this television. As a consumer, you should be aware of the issue with this model. You shouldn't expect state of the art picture quality on a 50" LED this cheaply priced. You SHOULD however not expect every outdoor scene in a TV show, movie, or video game to have the exact same color green. It's ridiculous, this is clearly a software issue that needs to be addressed with a firmware update. If they ever fix it, this TV will be unbeatable for the price. Oh, and it has the standard areas of the screen that are dimmer, but that is a typical LED TV issue. Even the ones twice this price have the same issue, especially in corners. The top right corner of the screen gets warm because of whatever circuit board is back there, and the heat seems to have an effect on the panel in that area (you'll notice a bright spot about an inch from the top right corner develop after the display has been on for about half an hour).

Q: QuestionSucks it s not a Smart TV with WIFI so no Netflix etc..Sucks it s not a Smart TV with WIFI so no Netflix etc..
Asked by jcr0007.
- A:Answer Smart TV is just one way the TV companies make more money. Smart TV can be slow when you access the internet. And Smart TV is usually 100 more expensive than regular TV. Why not buy an apple TV instead. You can keep using the apple TV even if you upgrade your TV later.

Q: QuestionPrice matchBest buys offers a price match guarantee. Right? So, how does this work if I purchase this unit online today, then they are clearly offering the same unit two weeks from now at a discounted rate? Do I have to show the receipt after it goes on sale to claim my rebate? The guarantee is still in effect... Best Buy please explain your policy.
