8 Blink Failure

Summary: 8 blink failure after 5-minutes of first start-up. Panasonic customer service so far has been horrible. Not sure how I am going to handle it at this point. I would give it zero stars if I could.

Best Bang 4 buck! Cleanest picture in this category!

by georgiajoker on March 18, 2013

Pros: Color Intensity is awesome for the price point of this unit. The blacks are remarkably concise. 3D is average but I am not a huge fan yet of any of the units out there except the theatre.

Cons: Needs more HDMI(only has 2) ports. Wireless capability should be built in.

Summary: Overall this is a great unit. I researched many models and actually looked at each and every one I was considering in person BEFORE making any decisions. This model offered ...

Summary: Overall this is a great unit. I researched many models and actually looked at each and every one I was considering in person BEFORE making any decisions. This model offered me the most for the least. I am living with the lack of HDMI inputs just fine at this point and I have an ethernet cable plugged in to facilitate the broadband uses of the unit. All in all, I am VERY satisfied with this unit.

Price is right for 55 inch.
Glare not an issue for me.

Cons: Only 2 HDMI hook ups

Summary: Great tv. No complaints. Got at Costco for $749. Love it so far but new yet. We'll see how it performs with a blu ray which I have yet to purchase. I'll need to get glasses and check out the 3D.

Specifications

Manufacturer: Panasonic
Part number: TC-P55UT50
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. Unique Panasonic technology converts 2D images into high-quality 3D images in real-time. The image depth is analyzed from the compositional, color and brightness data of each scene, to convert 2D images into naturally beautiful 3D images. In addition to ordinary TV programs, this method can be used to convert a variety of 2D images - such as web content, Blu-ray Disc media, and photos and movies saved onto SD memory cards - into 3D images with a high level of precision.
