Flat Screen TV Reviews

Panasonic Viera TC-P50S2 Plasma Review

The TC-P50S2 series plasma contains the new an updated version of the NEO PDP (i.e. plasma screen) from Panasonic.

This leads one to the conclusion that the B650 contains very high quality processing chip sets and indeed our HQV processing tests prove this to be the case. High definition content appears vibrant, realistic and extremely crisp. Blacks are rich for an LCD and contrast is a strength. Read More...
