Panasonic TC-P54Z1 Television Review-THX Glorious

We’ve been doing really well lately with sub thousand dollar plasma televisions, but sadly, our streak is about to stop with the really sweet, really upscale, and priced accordingly Panasonic TC-P54Z1.

The Panasonic TC-P54Z1 is a fifty four inch 1080p plasma television that offers WirelessHDTM Connectivity for Internet access, THX-standard display, four five watt speakers with surround sound decoders, a screen coating filter to reduce glare, Ultra thin design (it’s about an inch thick), the Viera image viewer, Viera Link, Viera Cast, four HDMI inputs, one HDMI output, two composite inputs, a headset jack, an S-video input, a PC input, and one optical digital audio output.

I loved the picture on this thing–when it’s THX certified, it’s safe to call it “really good”.  Arguing against that point is arguing against sheer fact. The sound quality was good, but different, somehow–it must have been that four-speaker setup.  Normally I see two-speaker systems, not four. It’s the same cumulative wattage, but it sounds different somehow. Not worse or better, necessarily, but different.

And you’ll pay for this kind of quality, and pretty well, too–the folks out at Amazon are charging around eighteen hundred bucks for this, but you’ll probably find it worth the cost should you decide to go this route.

Still, for a really terrific picture and unusual sound, you’ll want a look at the Panasonic TC-P54Z1.
