Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-P54S1 54-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV, Black User Review

I researched TVs extensively prior purchasing this TV. Both plasma and LCD have their respective strengths and weaknesses. I went with a plasma TV vs a LCD TV based the room the TV was going to be placed in and my viewing habits. I went with Panasonic after comparing various models in store and reading reviews.

In my opinion, this is the best TV at this price range. It is lacking some features of other Panasonic models (G10, Z, V Series) such as THX mode, more robust picture settings, and Viera Cast. However, these features were not deal breakers for me since I was going to be primarily using this TV for sports, tv shows and gaming. And from my understanding, the S1 series uses the same panel as the G10, Z, and V series. My non-videophile eyes could not tell a difference in picture quality between the G10 and S1 when I compared them at the store.

The picture quality was good initially, but got even better after the TV was broken-in. I did not get the TV professionally calibrated but got valuable tips on the proper settings for this TV from the AVS Forum website (as another reviewer pointed out). The picture quality is excellent, the colors are vibrant and accurate and the picture using a Hi-def source is sharp. I noticed that this TV is able to provide more details in dark scenes compared to my friend’s LCD TV and other plasma TV. The picture quality out the box is good, but superb after some setting changes and time.

The sound is adequate, but I recommend hooking it up to a surround sound system.

The bezel on the TV is a nice piano black but is a fingerprint magnet, but that is not a problem since I don’t touch the TV bezel on a regular basis. The anti-glare coating is effective. I don’t notice glare while watching TV during the day, in fact the only glare that I really notice is from the piano black bezel.

The bottom line is if you can’t afford the high-end TVs such as the Pioneer Kuro Series and just are looking for a TV with an excellent picture just to watch TV, you won’t be disappointed with the S1 Series.
