Conclusion: We like it
Panasonic's GT50 plasma TVs fall midway between the company's high-end VT50 line and less expensive ST50, and offer picture quality and a range of features that are almost on par with the VT50, at a price that's roughly $350 less (for the 55-inch model). The GT50 performs very well in 2D and 3D modes, has the expected range of smart TV functions, and comes close to the VT50 in terms of black levels, motion handling, and hardware design. Like its big brother, it has a few issues, including two that are common to most plasma sets: high energy usage, and somewhat washed out colors in brightly lit rooms. … show more

A class-leading plasma TV at an affordable price – at least compared to other high-end TVs – it's impossible to think of a better screen on which to watch both 2D and 3D Blu-ray.
Read the full review →The GT50 could give you almost all the flagship's incredible picture performance and features at a very attractive price.
Read the full review →For the average viewing environment, a Plasma such as the Panasonic GT50 will provide superior picture quality to the LED LCD competition.
Read the full review →Good LCD TVs can produce punchier images in bright rooms ... But if you’re into films and you’re in the market for a high quality 42in TV, you really can’t do any better than the P42GT50 right now. Its contrast performance, in particular, is simply in a league of its own.
Read the full review →The P50GT50 is a timely reminder as we approach the end of 2012 of just how brilliant plasma technology can be as a video display. In fact, if you're a movie fan it really is hard to think of a better way to spend the best part of £1200.
Read the full review →GT50 is a really impressive TV and one of Panasonic’s best TVs to date. Therefore we also award it with our Highly Recommended award.

Have not tried TV sound as it's plumbed into a 5.1 audio system. The ST/GT/VT plasmas from Panasonic are great. At 50" the black levels are peerless (Samsung equivalent models are really bad at 51"), and it has very little lag for the gamers out there (LG equivalent is horrendous in this regard)....
