Panasonic Viera TC-P58S1 Reviews:

Cnet gave the Flat Panel Panasonic Viera TCP58S1 a solid 3.5/5 rating, citing: “Excellent picture quality for the money makes the Panasonic TC-PS1 plasma the best value among large-screen flat panels.”

Amazon’s 26 user reviews gave the model a 4.5/5 average rating.

DigitalTrends.com review the Panasonic TC-P58s1 Plasma TV a 8/10 rating citing, “Although we have some minor issues with the TC-P42S1, you’ll really like this one for movies and HDTV sports.”

TelevisionInfo.com gave a review of the TC-P family (which includes this model) citing, “Available for about $840, the TC-P42S1 is well priced for a 42-inch Plasma. But it has some problems that make it a less than stellar pick, with problems rendering blacks and whites together and trailing on fast-moving images.”

PlasmaTVBuyingGuide.com has this model’s value rating at 94/100 and its overall rating at 90/100. This is a great model at a fair price, “This Panasonic offers an unusually bright picture for a plasma television. Black levels are somewhat compromised with normal television signals and contrast is competitive though not great for a plasma TV.”

PCMag review gave the TC-P familyline of plasma tvs a middingly 3/5 rating, citing “The biggest problem with the TC-P42S1: It’s less skilled than previous Panasonic models I’ve tested at upconversion, and cinema purists will need to calibrate the set for a more accurately colored picture.”
