Panasonic PT-47WX49 47 in. TV

Pros: Good Price, Many menu features, Great Picture
Cons: No screen protector, Strange volume/channel button placement

I have to say my first encounter with the PT-47WX49 was rocky. The first set I got went DOA within 2 weeks. The store provided a delivered replacement set within 1 week. The current set has been in my living room now for about 8 months, and I must say...

Pros: Picture Quality, Features, Price
Cons: Remote Control

Having now owned this TV for about four months, I can tell you that I am quite satisfied. I spent a long time doing research and evaluating other models before purchasing this set, and finally decided that for my needs, it was the best value for the...

Pros: Picture quality same or better than models costing $4k+, Easy to set up
Cons: Plain remote

I'll start off by saying that this is the best thing I have ever owned in my life.
Here's a picture of my set-up:

When I decided that my Home theater was more than respectable and that...

Pros: Picture clarity, Ease of use, extra features worth using
Cons: Regular broadcasts don't utilize the widescreen.

When I saw this Panasonic HDTV ready projection screen on the floor alongside the other models, I was flabbergasted by how clear the accurate the picture was when the digital loop was played through the monitor. So I went to do some research on this...

Pros: Picture quality
Cons: Poor initial picture quality Miserable customer support Burn in on picture

On 12/31/2001 I purchased a Panasonic PT-47WX49 High Definition Television from Best Buy in Mesa. (Store #254)

This is a 16:9 wide format HDTV with several viewing modes.
a) 16:9 Full screen for viewing DVD movies
b) 4:3 screen for...

Pros: Great picture and sound, numerous features
Cons: Possible Burn-in factor

I purchased this TV because the picture quality is amazing, the sound is crisp, and it possesses numerous features such as multiple aspect ratio settings, HDTV ready, and much more.

However, there is a huge con with this television that I...

Pros: Aspect Ratio, Component Video Inputs, Size, Center Channel Input
Cons: Plain Remote Control, Convergence

I bought this TV at Circuit City from display. My problems were that I had to find the manual online, get it printed, and I still haven't got a remote control quick reference guide. I replaced an old Magnavox 19" TV with this, which required moving the...

Pros: Beautiful image
Cons: Standard TV looks so-so and possible image burn

This Projection TV is a great unit. It is well constructed and the image it produces is so great. DVD's look awesome. Regular TV, however, looks so-so. If you do not plan on having HDTV, then the standard image doesn't look that great. Some newer...

Pros: Price for a Wide screen 16x9 HDTV.
Cons: ?? Can't Think of any ??

I have had this 47" Panasonic 16x9 wide screen set foe about two weeks. I purchased the set at Circuit City for $1899. When I saw the price I could not believe it. I had never seen a HDTV that was a wide screen for under $3000. This TV has all the...

Pros: Price, Widescreen, HDTV, Picture
Cons: Lack of explanations to what everything means in the literature.

Wow! That's all I have to say. The picture is amazing. It is clear, it is a widescreen, and it is big, but not too big.

I went to my friends house last week and he bought a 55 inch Sony TV that took up his WHOLE living room. When he...

Pros: Size, price, excellent audio, good picture after a lot of tweaking, SVM can be defeated.
Cons: Factory presets are terrible, set takes a lot of calibration before you get good picture.

In writing this review, I have mixed emotions. I am happy that I have achieved a very good picture with this set, but disappointed at the work I had to do to get the picture to where it is now. I had to calibrate the set twice using the Avia disc,...

Pros: Cheap cost
Cons: get what you pay for

I bought it for the picture that deteriorated soon after the convergence problems flaging in the picture and finaly after 6 months Sears will replace it thank you Sears. No thank you Panasonic.

I now have a TV with wide brown bars on either side of the screen due to fix image burn from watching normal TV. Hidden in a box in the instruction manual labeled Videgames, Computers or Fixed Image Displays (none of which I use) is a warning about screen damage. Evidently Panasonic considers watching 4:3 (normal TV) a fixed image. What BS. The Panasonic PT-47WX49 and their similar wide screen products should be avoided at all costs.
