 Great tv! Aug 07, 2010
After purchasing this television I was contacted very quickly by the delivery company that amazon uses. I was able to set up the day I wanted to have the tv delivered and it was delivered by a very professional company, very friendly throughout the entire experience. The delivery guy unpacked the tv and it was placed exactly where I wanted it.
This is the first large flat screen I've purchased and I am thrilled with it! The color is excellent, the blacks are wonderful and it's very simple to hook up and operate. I love the memory card slot, and my photos from my digital camera look really amazing. I have no complaints about this tv at all, and would tell anyone who is looking for a tv this is the one!

Pretty much the best TV money can buy for under $3k in the 50+ inch range Aug 05, 2010
I've had a few Panasonic plasma's throughout the years and I still even have a Hitachi Director's Series plasma (which I have to say, blows every plasma on Amazon out of the water, but it's also $7,000).
The Panasonic TC-P54S2 (the 54" display in the S2 line of plasmas) is a truly breathtaking television. The G25 line is more expensive and does offer a slightly richer and deeper black than the S2 line (among other, totally unnecessary features), but it's barely noticeable when the S2 plasma is broken-in and calibrated correctly. It's very important that you break-in and calibrate this display. (Check AVS Forums for the calibration slides, which should be run non-stop for 100 hours - then set the settings found in a sticky thread to get the best possible image quality for this display).
There's no buzzing sound like another reviewer said, the display runs cool for a plasma, the colors are vibrant, rich, deep, the contrast is breathtaking (especially compared to so many LCD's that lack a deep contrast like plasmas) and it is just a great display. Did I also mention that it's below $1,300? I remember a friend of mine spending $22,000 on a Marantz 65" plasma which today looks like pure garbage. It's disgusting.
In addition to being a videophile, having a degree in Digital Editing and Cinematography and working for a film production company (where we use $15,000 Sony Professional Reference monitors) I have to say that this is truly an outstanding display product from Panasonic. I've spent a few hours enjoying a 50" G25 series and won't lie that to the trained eye, certain blacks seem darker and deeper - however, to 99% of you out there, you'll never know the difference.
The new neo-PDP plasma technology also helps many things from the last-year S1 series plasma technology from Panasonic. Many bugs have been fixed, the plasma display itself is better and Panasonic actually listened to their customers on multiple issues.
A great tv, but please make sure you break-in the display and calibrate it correctly. 5/5 stars, I would buy 3 more of these if I had room in my house.
 Great deal Jul 24, 2010
Everything it was promised to be! I highly recommend it. For the money you will be hard pressed to find better. The only cons that that I can come up w for this TV is that it does make a faint humming noise when it is turned on. But, unless u are sitting 1 foot away from the TV while watching, the sound is inaudible. Great plasma!

Great TV, especially for the price! Jul 15, 2010
The TV arrived defective but the problem was quickly taken care of by Panasonic. I got the 50" and 54" versions of the TV for different rooms in the house. The 50" looks slightly better in my opinion, but that is expected considering the size difference. HD FiOs looks incredible, my XBOX 360 looks even better, and blu-rays are absolutely mind-blowingly clear. The colors are excellent and required minimal tweaking. I did calibrate to THX standards, but it was fairly close to the out of box settings. If you own this TV do yourself a favor and set it to Cinema mode and leave it for all viewing types. It's clearer than the other modes. The power draw is near the level of LCDs, blacks are deeper, and whites are shockingly nearly as bright too! A fast screen refresh rate and life over 30 years before dropping to half its brightness makes this TV pretty much impossible to beat dollar for dollar. Would definitely buy a Panny again.

Great Pix ... but dreaded "buzz" Jul 02, 2010
After repeated back-order of the new Panasonic 58" plasma, I "settled" for this TV.
Although only slightly smaller, but MUCH less expensive it features a superb picture that has deep colors, true black, and very bright (if needed for a light room).
As a retired broadcast exec. I'm fussy about my video, and this set is excellent in almost every way. Even the bezel and glass screen minimize glare. The speakers are only adequate, but with the mony I saved thru Amazon I'm just installing a surround system.
The only problem is a faulty high voltage circuit emitting a hum or buzz when displaying bright images. This was evident by the third day, and getting worse as the set warmed up. A call directly to Panasonic (with only a 3-minute wait) scheduled a local service call. Two guys just left having ordered a replacement part to be sent overnight "because you have Concierge Service thru Amazon/ Panasonic". I'll be without this set for a couple of days next week, but I was very impressed with the no hassle - no excuse service.
The original delivery was also "white glove" with two guys unpacking and setting up the TV to my existing Charter Cable service.
Yes, the TV should not have been defective out-of-box; but I appreciate the better than average service that I've received so far.
UPDATE:
After 48 hours, TV was returned (and set up) working perfectly! A defective high voltage transformer in the power supply was replaced. All costs and on-site pickup/delivery handled by a local repair company under contract with Panasonic.
On another note; if you're concerned about picture burn-in or image retention with this plasma set, don't be. Panasonic has a built in automatic "pixelator" and also a manual (if you'd prefer) moving image bar that eliminates any need to baby this set during it's initial setup.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
