Superb 2D pictures, Good 3D pictures, Excellent price, Viera Connect is impressive
Less bright than LCD, Not very energy efficient, More online video please, Occasional 3D crosstalk
The Panasonic P50ST50 gets off to a fine start by managing to be both slimmer and more glamorous than you'd usually expect a Panasonic plasma TV to be. It's decently well connected too, including all the options you need to put the TV at the heart of a mo...
Excellent HD picture quality, Good 3D picture quality, Solid multimedia playback
Pictures lose punch in bright rooms, Some dotting noise over moving skin tones, Minor crosstalk with 3D
If you're a serious movie fan, the Panasonic TX-P42ST50 is a quite brilliant TV for its money. Dim the lights and you'll get HD pictures to die for, with stunning contrast, rich and natural colours, bags of detail and superb motion clarity.The way the set...
Contrast over 5000:1, Very wide viewing angles, Excellent screen responsiveness (6 ms on average), Accurate colours: average Delta E = 3, Excellent 3D mode: practically no crosstalk
Glossy screen is prone to reflections, High power use: 200 watts
The Panasonic Viera ST50 really has nothing to envy of the higher-end VT50. In fact, image quality is just as good in this model. We therefore don't see much point in shelling out for the pricier model, as the ST50 won't disappoint home cinema buffs....
Great value, full spec despite price, superb black levels and bright colours, excellent HD tuner
Only a hint of noise and motion instability at times
With good quality pictures from iPlayer and solid, subtle 3D performance, the TX-P65ST50 proves a quality all-rounder, which at this sort of money – and for this sort of size – is something truly worth shouting about. Panasonic's fine form continues.See a...
★★★★★At £849, the Panasonic TX-P42ST50B is superb value. It has great image quality and some clever image-processing tricks that improve picture quality, even as it’s playing them. Its internet services are comprehensive and easy to use, and its media...

LCD TVs might be getting better and better every year, but the Panasonic P50ST50 shows that plasma isn't resting on its laurels either. In fact, if you're remotely into movies, its wonderfully contrast-rich, finely detailed and gorgeously nuanced picture...

Excellent black levels, Impressive contrast ratio and dynamic range, Very good out-of-the-box colour accuracy, Reference colour gamut after calibration, Super 3D performance, VIERA Connect is plentiful in content, Good calibration controls, Built-in WiFi
Some 50Hz break-up with fast pans, Occasional dynamic false contouring, Lack of flexible picture options, Only 3 HDMI Inputs, Gaming Lag is a bit high
If there were some minor differences between the ranges in terms of the 2D performance, there were none that we could discern in 3D. In fact, we found the ST more immersive but that's undoubtedly as a result of the gargantuan screen size. For comfortable...
Truly excellent black levels; Very bright pictures by plasma standards; Top-notch 3D performance; built-in Wi-Fi
Menus and EPG need improvement; No 3D glasses included
The Panasonic TX-P42ST50B delivers truly excellent picture quality for standard-definition, HD and 3D material, with stunningly deep black levels, impressive brightness and natural colour tones. Potential buyers might want to see what the upcoming GT50...
