Easy setup!

The internal speakers are "ok". The "out of the box" color settings were pretty good, but I think the reds and greens could use some tweaking. Setup was a breeze: unpack, install 4 screws, and set it on the TV stand. Po..." Read Full Review »

Not Impressed. Blu Ray looks subpar

"To quote GSP, Panasonic I am not impressed with your performance. Moved to a larger home and I needed a larger TV. Own a 40 inch Sony Z series. That pix quality for sports and BR crushes this TV. Watched the Steelers BR and the picture looked awful. Unfortunately, after watching motiionplus, seeing a TV without is disappointing. There are also pixelation issues. Looks like I will have to pay an additional 700 an..." Read Full Review »

"This display doesn't have the bells and whistles of its more expensive peers, but it is great for sports and movies. Complaints about over-simplified setup options and limited inputs may be true for power users, but for plugging in, turning on, and watching I couldn't find a better 1080p deal.

"This is the step down model from the G10, but step down is a bit of a misnomer since this is still a great television. Much of what applies to the G10 plasma, applies to the S1. Picture quality is superb. Clean, accurate and sharp. Black levels are very good also. This is another tremendous bargain …" Read Full Review »
