Panasonic Plasma TV Ratings – Problems, Image Retention, Burn-in, Glare, Quality and Satisfaction
Thinking about getting a Panasonic plasma TV? If so, you’ve come to the right place because I have some important and detailed information to share with you.
My research team collected data from at least 550 actual Panasonic plasma television owners. The sources for this data were nearly 100 different online message boards, which tend to be among the best places to find unbiased and helpful product information.
Picture Quality
Virtually all owners were pleased with the picture quality, including the accuracy and richness of the colors, brightness, contrast and clarity. In addition, they had no complaints with how well the TVs render black color.
While virtually all owners were impressed with how their TVs displayed high definition, many were less than impressed with how they displayed standard definition. Standard definition was not described as bad by owners who complained; it just was not as good of a picture as they wanted.
Screen glare can be an issue with plasma TVs, and it was somewhat of an issue to Panasonic owners, according to our data. While not a widespread complaint, several owners were not pleased with how much their screen reflected light.
Image retention and burn-in can also be issues with plasmas. In regard to image retention, which is what occurs when an after-image appears on the screen temporarily, a handful of owners voiced displeasure. In regard to burn-in, which is what occurs when an after-image appears and remains on the screen permanently, virtually no owners reported this problem.
Motion blur was not a problem to speak of, nor was difficulty viewing the TV from different angles than just from the front.
Ease of Use, Sound and Appearance
Owners generally found the TV easy to set up and use. Some owners would like a better designed remote control, however.
When it came to the sound quality of the built-in speakers, the clear majority of owners were happy. In regard to the appearance of the TV, that is, how it looks as a piece of furniture, owners almost unanimously had praise.
Quality
What about the quality and durability of the Panasonic plasmas? Problems and defects were reported, such as issues with the power supply and unwanted noise, but complaints about quality were not common overall. The majority of owners who had contact with Panasonic’s customer service were satisfied.
Satisfaction Rating
The bottom line is that, based on our research, 93% of the Panasonic plasma owners included in our data were satisfied with their TV.
