| jimhandy's Full Review: Panasonic PT-51HX42 51 in. TV |
I picked this TV up on a boxing day sale. After looking at RCA, Phillips, Hitachi, and Sony's all day, I needed something a little better than the first three brands and a lot cheaper than the Sony. This tv is great! The colors are vibrant, yet do not bleed through. It is HDTV ready for when I upgrade to a progressive scan DVD player, although it has improved picture quality compared to my 10 year old 27" sony trinitron (DVD source, S-Video cables used). Has a few preset viewing modes which automatically adjust contrast, brightness, color, etc., nice for watching movies in cinema mode, then switch modes to vivid to enjoy sports. Lots of inputs and 1 output with this TV. The sound is excellent for a TV, a large speaker cabinet provides ample bass, but a surround sound system is recommended. This tv does not turn dark black as some other projection tv's do at bad viewing angles, but you still should be about 8' back from the tv for best viewing.
Great TV, paid roughly $1799 CDN delivered
