The Panasonic TC-PVT50 series represents the pinnacle of current flat-panel TV picture quality.

The Panasonic is the whole package, a great choice of TV tuners, fantastic picture quality and a design that blows every chunky plasma out of the water. It might not be cheap, but it is utterly brilliant.

Panasonic’s flagship set delivers stellar performance in every area.

With the TX-P50VT50, Panasonic has created a TV capable of hyper-reality. Its images are darker and more dynamic than real life, yet pictures always appear natural. Whether your thing is sports or movies, this high-end set is not going to disappoint.

The Panasonic TX-P50VT50 is a tremendous accomplishment that's not matched even closely by the only other two makers of plasma.

Panasonic's new flagship 55in TV, the Panasonic TX-P55VT50, finds the brand on predictably imperious form. As a 55in screen for a dedicated home cinema room it’s probably without equal.

Largely thanks to the excellent image characteristics afforded by the NeoPlasma panel, the Panasonic TX-P50VT50 receives one of our highest possible recommendations.

For your very bright living room you may still consider LED models but for everything else, it simply does not get much better, in today’s market, than VT50 in terms of picture quality. The TV deserves praise and our Highly Recommended Award.

The VT50 is a phenomenal TV whether you stick with the out-of-box presets or take the time to properly calibrate the image.
