Panasonic TC-P55ST50 price range: $1,688.99 - $2,590.65
- Reviewed by: David Katzmaier

The good: The affordable Panasonic TC-PST50 series exhibited outstanding overall picture quality, characterized by exceedingly deep black levels with great shadow detail, accurate colors, and solid bright-room performance. Unlike LCDs, as a plasma it has superb off-angle and uniformity characteristics. The styling is attractive and the feature set well-chosen, including excellent onscreen help options.
The bad: The ST50 uses more power than competing LCD TVs, and doesn't perform as well in bright rooms as those with matte screens. It doesn't come with 3D glasses, and it showed more crosstalk in 3D than some competing TVs. The ST50 is only available in 50-inch and larger sizes. Three HDMI inputs is one fewer than most midrange TVs offer.
The bottom line: With flagship-level picture quality for a midlevel price, the Panasonic ST50 series sets the value standard among videophile-grade TVs.

When it works it is great
by oiseaux831 on December 13, 2012
Pros: Great picture.
Cons: Had the set for less than two months and one of the boards failed. Paid for a 4 year Geek Squad support but there are no Geeks in my area. Farmed out to a local with mixed reviews. Still waiting for the part after one week. Staring at a blank wall.
Summary: There is no excuse for the electronics to fail in less than two months. And there is REALLY no excuse for taking so long to send parts. I paid a ...
Summary: There is no excuse for the electronics to fail in less than two months. And there is REALLY no excuse for taking so long to send parts. I paid a lot of money and only have a blank wall to stare at. Other problems:
The picture has a strange distortion when the camera is panning. Also the sound is pretty bad; you will have to buy a sound bar.0 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Wait. That is not what I originally said. I guess I am hitting a nerve with these CNET tools. CNET is going down the SOPA path.1 out of 10 users found this user opinion helpful.
Specifications
- Manufacturer: Panasonic
- Part number: TC-P55ST50
- Description: The display alternately shows images for the left and right eyes. The left and right lenses of the eyewear open and close in sync with this display timing to show separate images to the left and right eyes. By repeating this action at high speed, the brain perceives 3D images. And because this method displays Full HD 3D images just as they are, both eyes receive 3D images in high, Full-HD quality. This original Panasonic technology detects image movements like the human eye, and optimizes the drive accordingly. By achieving instantaneously powerful light emission rather than finely divided emission, it reduces the afterimages that cause blurring. As a result, fast movement is reproduced with excellent clarity. Enhancements to the panel and cells help reproduce images with smooth, natural gradation and deep, rich blacks - even when viewed in bright surroundings. In movies, the true, deep blacks faithfully convey the intent of the filmmakers, adding power and realism to the viewing experience.
