      I should think actually going from a Plasma to an LED TV is a bit of a downgrade. Stick with the Plasma.

      Panasonic plasmas were like the closest relative to the best tv ever made. Unless you want the bigger screen or your plasma is worn out, it's probably better than this tv.

        Yeah … same decision here. 50inch plasma (Samsung). Decided to listen to you and did not buy anything … saved me $1099.20 !!! Yeah … feels like I got a free TV now …

  • MrBillions on 04/10/2014 - 11:34

    Is this good for gaming?

    • hollykryten on 04/10/2014 - 11:38

      Sure you could use a gaming console with it. Any PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One supports HDMI with HD video.

        No, I mean from a lag or refresh rate perspective. Playing watchdogs on my current TV is horrible as when people move I see shadows or ghosting around them. My plasma is about 5 years old…

          It's an ips so it might not be as good as typical va lcd type or plasma tv's with respect to motion blur.

          @krisspy:

          Motion blur is one thing, but input lag is another and a bigger issue. Plasmas are all dead last in that regard.

        • krisspy on 05/10/2014 - 04:47

          @plmko: used to play alot of cod on ps3 on my plasma (till the hud permanently burned in). Input lag wasn't noticeable compared to my barebone crossover monitor. It all depends on the scaler and other junk the signal is going through. Turn game mode on if the option is there and it shouldn't be an issue

      In TV set land, a great brand no longer. That statement applies to most every current Panasonic TV sold in Australia.

      The 50 inch version of this set (same series), the TH-50A430A, came DEAD LAST in September's Choice magazine tests - by a huge margin.

      Several other Panasonic sets also did poorly. Second to dead last - also a Panasonic.

      Extensive tests done. Broadcast, DVD and Blu-ray pictures compared.
      Palsonic and Kogan sets fared better than four of the Panasonic sets tested.

      Huge fall from grace for Panasonic.

      Sorry OP, but potential buyers may seriously regret purchasing this set, irrespective of the cheap price.

      • Rod71 on 04/10/2014 - 13:58

        Thats a shame, as they were the king of Plasma.

        • [Deactivated] on 04/10/2014 - 14:05

          True - after Fujitsu and Pioneer left the market, they reigned.

          As for most of their current LED-backed LCD offerings, any potential buyers who actually buy one, will likely be disappointed.

        • tommy-darko on 04/10/2014 - 14:32

          Have to say I agree, bought the TH-55AS700A from Dick Smith's eBay store and whenever the camera pans from left to right and vise versa, the picture gets distorted as though you can see blurry vertical pixelated lines down the screen and it's terrible on the eyes. Might just be a dudd unit and going to get it looked at but should have gone with another Samsung in hindsight.

          @ilikeit: After reducing the backlight and dumbing down the settings it does look a damn sight better. Watching some Rugby on Fox Sports 2 HD as a test and my eyes can finally focus on the game and not the motion blur! Cheers for the tips! :D

          @Tas: Don't forget Hitachi Plasmas. My parents have theirs from 10+ years ago and its still going strong.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2014 - 08:48

          @Rex87: I haven't forgotten Hitachi, and they did make some really nice panels. Great company, generally.

          Unfortunately for them, and despite resisting for longer than most (at least as far as I can recall) they did end up getting fully involved in the Horrifically Gruesome For Them & Others 42 Inch Plasma Price Wars!

          I remember JBHiFi (quite a bit different then than now) being largely responsible for creating the arena for the fight, instore, and then virtually egging the companies on, incatalalogues…

          Turned into internecine warfare. In the aftermath, with ripples into the LCD era, the price gouging (particularly by NEC and LG - their plasma prices just plunged and kept dropping), both Hitachi and NEC ended-up dropping out of the Australian television market altogether.

          Rex, when your parents' plasma finally carks it, they might suffer some grief. Maybe you could build them a pretty little Japanese garden in their backyard to ease the pain?
          Don't forget to add a nice little ornamental pagoda - built using only Hitachi powertools, of course!

        • Rex87 on 05/10/2014 - 23:35
          +1

          @Tas: Oh I forgot about NEC, ah those were the days… And yes, the Hitachi Plasma is indeed a 42"! The pricing war sure (profanity) everything up for a lot of quality Japanese AV companies. As a Hitachi fan boy, you can imagine how initially excited, then disappointed i was when i heard that Hitachi was "re-entering" the TV market recently… Guess Im left with Sharp or Panasonic for a Japanese-ish TV. Actually, the only thing you were partially incorrect about is that my Parents ALREADY HAVE a Japanese garden complete with Koi (no pagoda though). P.s I'm holding out until the next time Hitachi drills are advertised on OzBargain… :)

          @Rex87: It's been a while, but I have owned a few bits of Sharp gear, including a once very 'smart' electronic organiser. Memories… They were widely considered to be a bit of an expensive wank, in retrospect.
          The flash ones (with vaguely useful flash-memory) did make for a fun gadget, but they never really caught on. In relative terms, mine probably did cost about much as an iPhone 6 Plus does now, but, thanks to the exciting innovation otherwise known as the 'hinge' (possibly not invented by Sharp) the model I had was actually designed to bend…

          Anyway, I think Sharp still receive a bit of royalty money relating to early LCD screen tech (they did invent TFT screens - hugely important), but despite some touted exclusive technology, recent Sharp TV offerings apparently aren't particularly flash at all. None in the current Choice tests, but I remember them doing pretty poorly in previous ones, not too long ago.
          Maybe best to not steer your parents in that direction.

          Lucky M & D. I'd kill for a koi pond in the backyard, but I can just imagine some of the more adventurous neighbourhood cats doing some killing of their own!

        Much as I respect Choice's reputation for impartiality and independence, I have to question the results of its TV tests. Setting aside the plasma vs LED preference/debate let us look at these three example plasma TVs.

        LG 50PN6500 - overall 69, BD picture 73, sound 63
        Samsung PS60F8500 - overall 68, BD picture 66, sound 72
        Panasonic TH-P55VT60A - overall 65, BD picture 68, sound 62

        Two of the widely acknowledged best TV ever made were creamed by an inferior model in the all important Blu-ray picture quality! And Samsung's downward firing speakers wiped the floor against Panasonic's front facing speakers?

        How do these two "best TV ever made" compare to a "lowly" $950rrp TCL LED?
        TCL L46E5510FDS - overall 67, BD picture 82, sound 52

        Going with these results you would be crazy not to buy the TCL and a soundbar and enjoy vastly superior picture and sound to anything plasma TVs can offer.

          +1 to alvian sentiments.

          I refer to Choice all the time, but not for TVs. VT and 8500 are superb. The 8500 is as bright as any LCD and the VT is regarded as one of the best TVs of all time (http://www.engadget.com/products/panasonic/smart-viera/vt60-…). Choice's scores were rubbish.

          +1

          @alvian + @Animus Furandi:
          None of those older three plasma TV's listed, or the TCL for that matter, are in the current list of 46 sets tested.
          The one TCL set tested in the current tests (a 32 inch model) received decent, but midrange scores.
          Alvian, maybe TCL pulled one out-of-the-box in relation to that model you mentioned. I don't know. I've seen stranger things happen in tech-land.

          Believe me, I have become very circumspect about Choice's test results in recent years. Choice is NOT the mag it once was, nor are the conclusions drawn to be treated as gospel, but they are at least free from some of the promo-test-kickback arrangements that rear their ugly heads and then dive into the pockets of some online and physical-mag reviewers and/or their publishers.

          Having said that, and for whatever weight you wish to apportion to them, the Choice test results for Panasonic's TH-50A430A were:
          Overall 47; broadcast 35; dvd 40; blu-ray 25; sound 66.

          The results for the best set tested of identical size, albeit with a list price a couple of hundred dollars higher - the LG 50LB5820 - were:
          Overall 73; broadcast 73; dvd 69; blu-ray 80; sound 73.

          We are not talking about small differences here, at least as it relates to some of Panasonic's poorer efforts in the LED LCD arena.

          For anybody specifically interested in a likely much better 60 inch set than this model, or just one in-between in size, and aren't freaked by the need to hand over some more cash for a better outcome…

          The 55inch Samsung UA55H6400AW (approx.$1799) scored:
          70; 74; 61; 80; 75.

          The 55inch LG 55LB7500 (approx.$2490) scored:
          75; 82; 73; 90; 70.

          The 60 inch Sony KDL-60W850B (approx.$2660) scored:
          70; 70; 62; 75; 81.

          For the last couple of months, I've been spending less and less time on OzBargain, but not today…

          I hoped all of that helped someone. If not/either way: G; r; r; r; r!

  • ro0sta on 04/10/2014 - 15:38

    I noticed how quickly ALL stock of ALL models of the 'Seiki' brand TVs disappeared before 20% off sale started. A little convenient?

    Not to mention the price hike on most other items - eg: A PS4 game available brand new in November 2013 is still being sold for $90 on DSE Ebay before discount. Their deals are shams; just when you think you're probably getting a good deal on something, they'll raise the price on 80% of their available range before the ebay offer commences.

  • jo b on 04/10/2014 - 16:56

    I concur with Tas - Choice is normally really good, but their scores for TV's seem a little all over the place, and I don't think it's a great source to base any TV purchasing decision on. You have series 5 Samsung's beating series 9 models. LG models scored highly on Choice rated more modestly on other dedicated sites (like rtings.com) and apart from a metric no detailed explanation on each model is offered. I know different size TV's will have different strengths but that isn't enough to explain it. Really Choice is not a great way to choose TV's from. Just go into a store and have a look before buying online.
    I purchased a Panasonic 60" AS700 after looking in store and have been very happy with it. Great viewing angles, no blur/distortion on fast moving images and very bright. Blacks could be better, but meh, no big deal for me, movies still look great on it, day or night.
    So don't write Panasonic's off so easy, suggest checking out the model in the flesh first so no regrets.

      Newer series models - across many different types of tech - aren't always better than superceded ones. Backward steps and cost-cutting of components happen all the time, especially when some key discrete gets replaced with poorer performing (but ultimately cheaper) integrated circuitry.

      That aside - if you, or anyone else who might in the future be keen on scrutinising (really closely) sets before purchase, can actually persuade a shop assistant to display more than just a Blu-ray or an outboard tuner box running through splitters, on sets that you're considering, you'll be doing very well indeed.
      Forget the future - just try now…
      Given the expression on their face, you may as well have just shot their dog!

      Incidentally, the 50 inch model of your series Panasonic is in the Choice tests. It wasn't disgraced like the model mentioned above, but here are the results, if you're interested…
      65; 59; 61; 65; and 61 for sound.

  • AMLagonda on 04/10/2014 - 17:13

    dam i guess i better keep my 55"panasonic plasma for a while yet then…

  • allegiance86 on 04/10/2014 - 18:12

    I got a TH-65A 65" Plasma about a year ago and I think it still looks better than most TV's I see today apart from the the 4K screens. As far as gaming goes it looks brilliant, very deep colours and blacks. The only thing I have noticed is slight ghosting when turning the camera very quickly in a game which seems to be apparent in most TV sets.

    I keep reading however that Panasonic LCD's are far less superior so I can't speak for the TV mentioned by the OP.

    Bought this TV for $1250 in June. I watch everyday tv and sport in a well lit room (big windows and sliding door to outside). Very happy with the viewing experience. I based my purchase on the room lighting and instore comparisons with sport. No problems with motion blur for me the 100hz handles the sport well.
    This replaced a 8yr old 42" plasma samsung still going well but is now in upstairs lounge room.

    One problem was it came with severe back light bleeding from the bottom and right hand bezel - replaced with no issues at a dicksmith that had stock. Replaced on the spot
