Panasonic Viera TC-P50V10

1. CNET

This report extensively examines the Panasonic Viera TC-P50V10 50-inch HDTV and compares it to the cheaper TC-P50G10. David Katzmaier particularly likes the better video processing, which can handle 1080p/24fps video (mainly from Blu-ray discs) more smoothly. He says the increased picture controls also make it superior to the TC-P50G10. The styling is a notable upgrade too. Blacks are as deep or deeper than any other current HDTV, though colors outside of the THX mode could be -- and should be -- more accurate. Energy efficiency is better than in the past, but still doesn't top most LCD TVs. CNET is impressed enough to name the TC-P50V10 an Editors' Choice.
