Panasonic TC-P50S2 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV
Panasonic P50S2 Reviews
I'm extremely satisfied., October 26, 2010, By MrReviewGuy (San Diego)
So i received this HDTV about 5 days ago. I've read countless blogs and details on how to take care of this and all new Plasma TVs. First off i put all the setting really low, and i'm in cinema mode. I put all setting around 50, this is only for the first 100 hours or so. Burn in process. I'm making sure there are no static images on my screen for no longer than a good 10 minutes. And i'm also keeping the entire screen full.So before i recieved my TV i called Panasonic to ask a few questions about the Television. I got a human on the line in about 1 minute. She was very helpful, she told me to do the things i listed above except for putting all setting around 50, i read that on numerous other sites. She did say that cinema is the best picture setting, and to stay away from VIVID. I asked her if its a good TV for gaming, I'm using 360 and soon my PS3 for Blurays; her answer was that plasmas aren't good for gaming because static images, like health bars and radar etc... She uses an LCD for her gaming. Then i thought to myself, Panasonic doesn't make LCDs, or do they? Anyhow i thought to myself what does a woman know about gaming anyways, its 1 in 100000 that i'll find a woman who can keep up with me in COD, Halo, and any fast paced action shooter. So i decided to go against her word on the gaming and i purchased this TV. So far i'm 100% satisfied with the gaming experience. Reach looks great.
The only thing i'm waiting for is the burn in process to end. After i break in the T.V. I'll calibrate the setting to D6500, there is a whole website on which setting to use. I will not access the service menu, only when my warranty is up.
Anyhow i'll definitely update this review once i finish the burn in process, so far i probably have about 30 hours logged on the TV. A cool feature i've been using on a daily basis is the image retention option in the menu settings. If you have a ghost image from watching or playing games for to long. You go to this option and the screen will turn black, a write bar will go left to right on your screen, the Panasonic lady said leave on for 15 min. if you have image retention/ghost image. I haven't had one, but i'm just being very careful with this TV. Its the first Plasma that i have owned. And 2nd HDTV.
Oh yeah, for each input you have to calibrate them independently. I learned this when my 360 games were a bit fuzzy, then i switched to cinema and reduced the settings and it looks great.
I'll write my age so other people can relate to me. I tried finding reviews that would relate to me, and it was hard to find.
I'm 25 Male, i've been a gamer since original Nintendo. And i love HD Games/movies. I always do my research on buying expensive products. I decided to take my chances with this TV.
Oh yeah you should check all inputs to see if they are working, i started doing that last night but fell asleep. The Image viewer from the SD card is a nice feature. But it takes way to long to load the images. About 10 7 seconds to load one image.
All in all i'm satisfied, hopefully i didn't jinx myself by writing a good review for this product *tapping mouth*.
Update: 11/22/10
Well I tweaked the settings to D6500, i think i'll use that for nighttime viewing or in a darkroom. Its very bright compared to the cinema setting that i was using. Now that i write this i'll go home and adjust the brightness when viewing. I just played about 6 hours of gaming this weekend and it looked great. The only thing that really is pissing me off is the price dropped $100 bucks 3 weeks after i bought mines :(
Since its now about $800 i'd buy this asap. If anything goes wrong i'll update. But until then i'm digging the TV.
