Wonderful TV
I am so happy that I bought this TV because it is just outstanding. I did a lot of research on numerous TV's and was not totally satisfied until I saw this Panasonic Viera S1. I was planning on buying a TV with 120 Hz but the S1 handled fast motion very well. To summarize, here are the pro's and con's.
Pro:
Horizontal viewing angle
Great standard def. compared to other LCD. Amazing high def.
Blacks comprable to Samsung unless really off angle
Clarity/sharpness
Vivid colors
Thin attractive bezel
Built quality of TV and remote
Motion Focus technology
Price
Cons:
Blacks wash out if extremely off angle vertically (probably >150 degrees)
No fine control of colors
Largest size is 37 inches
If you are in the market for a TV this size, buy this thing and you will not regret it. I feel like I stole this TV from Panasonic because I bought it for $699. It outperforms a lot of LCD's that are $300-$500 more expensive. There is not another LCD out there in this price range that packs this much punch period!
Great HDTV
Bought this TV based on my great experience with my Pany 58" plasma. Not many reviews on the S1 as of yet, however, older model Pany LCD's had good reviews. This was the 4th tv that I purchased for the family room, which included a Toshiba 40" lcd (not Regza), a Vizio 32 lcd and a Vizio 32 plasma. The first 3 were returned and this one is a keeper.
As expected, set up was a breeze and it mounted to my articulating wall mount without a hitch. Picture settings had to be tweaked to get the proper flesh tones, but in a few minutes it looked great. Of course, I like to tinker with all of the setting in order to get familiar with the tv. Overall, picture looks great. Sound on this tv is very good. Need to adjust the settings to increase treble and base, and also to turn on the surround. Definitely fills the room with full clear sound.
The tv is in a bright room and there can be minor glare depending on the time of day and viewing angle. Putting the picture in vivid mode takes care of any glare issues. Actually, it really is not a problem (as compared with the Vizio plasma that I returned) Not that I bash Vizio because I have 3 of them and am basically very pleased with their performance.
The only disappointment was the remote. I was hoping that it would be the same as with my plasma, however, it does not have the same solid feel. For some reason, they took a nicely fitted convex backed remote and gave it two concave sections that just don't feel right. Also, they switched the volume and channel buttons which ia pain after you get used to it being the "correct way" on the plasma remote. I must add, however, that the remote is far superior to the junk that you get with many brands of TV. Vizio used to put out a great remote, however, the later models sure dumbed it down. Can't say much good about the Toshiba remotes either.
All in all, the Pany S1 is a keeper. My search for the right tv is finally over. Turned out that I got a great price and fantastic delivery with Amazon affiliate 6th Ave Electronics. Delivery in two days and price of $707 w/free shipping. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a 37" lcd.
Great TV
I spent a lot of time deliberating over whether to buy this TV. Since it costs $100-200 less than comparable TVs from Samsung, Sony, and Sharp, I thought there must be a catch. Eventually I decided to take the risk and purchased it, and I am very happy. The picture is outstanding - I have absolutely no complaints about this TV. It looks at least as good, if not better, than any other HDTV I've seen. I would recommend it to anyone.
