Panasonic has many quality products in the market since many years. When it comes to Plasma screens, they are known for manufacturing and supplying to even other brands as not every brand has own plasma manufacturing units.
Its one of the best products I have ever picked up in my life! Before going further, I will explain how I reached Panasonic as my brand for a plasma.
I considered LG, Samsung, Sony Bravia, Nikai, Toshiba, Pioneer and few other unknown brands and checked the demo of both LCD and Plasma of all these brands whatever was available in the 40 to 50 inch range. LCD was dropped from my plan due to 1)Higher cost, 2)Higher & Fixed contrast and brightness level which is not easy on eyes, 3)Less effect on action scenes, deep colours etc. and few other reasons which I cant recall now.
Plasma was my choice due to 1)Deep Blacks and Deep colours, 2)No strain on eyes as brighness and contrast are not fixed, it varies from scene to scene, 3)Less priced, 4)More power consumption but not fixed like LCDs, average of few years will be equal to the LCD by any chance, 5)best for action or fast scenes, 6)best for game addicts
So, after a month long review/comparison/opinions from real users, checking demos myself, cross checking prices, services etc. I finally bought Panasonic Plasma Viera PV8. Similar model is PV80 which has only the SD card slot, Glossy frame and a V-real PRO 3 technology extra than PV8, which makes a difference of 5k in pricing too but hardly makes any difference in real life daily use.
PV8 has a HDMI input which creates the bestest clarity available today for anything that comes from a Home Theatre/DVD etc. I will be adding a 1 Kv Servo Vertex Stabilizer to complete my set up very soon which is used by many friends and the picture quality increases dramatically too.
