Review by Fortune 100 – General Manager for Panasonic PT-50LC13 50-Inch TheaterWide HDTV-Ready Projection LCD TV

I searched all over the web for reviews in considering the Sony and Panasonic 50″ LCD’s. It’s seemed like Sony had a manufacturing problem with theirs, so I turned to the Panasonic. I was (and still am) concerned about the quality of the signal from my dish (Directv)as it is far inferior to the DVD, but found that if I just do as everyone said….Cinema mode, adjust the colors….it is at least okay. We turn it to the 4:3 mode with the bars on the side. I think it is, by far, the best mode to watch regular tv. Oh, and I do have an s video cable. You really do need to sit 7-10 feet away from the set or else it’s really not very good. If we had a tight room, I might have gone with a 36″ tv. I would say that if you plan on buying this to watch Friends and the like and do not have HDTV, you will be disappointed until HDTV catches up with us.Watching movies on this is what I bought it for and it is incredible for that. INCREDIBLE!!! We watched Seabiscuit and Finding Nemo on it and it was flawless. We just use the TVs speakers now, but will purchase a home theater system, bit by bit, over time. I think the speakers are great. Loud, without much distortion. But…I am not an audiosnob. I recommend the set with the idea that I know that I’m on the bleeding edge a little bit and hope that HDTV catches up with us sooner rather than later.PS – After researching DVD players and seeing what I could find here in Puerto Rico, I bought the Toshiba SD 3900 DVD player for about $80 and it seems to drive the “flawless” picture on the Panasonic TV just fine. I planned on buying a $2-300 dvd player, but couldn’t find the one I wanted here, so I just bought the Toshiba “for now”…and I may just stick with it.

3 strikes and you’re out. After the bulb blew for the third time in less than a year, I forced Panasonic to give me a full refund. Be smarter – don’t buy this piece of junk in the first place.
