Reviews of the Panasonic TC-P46S1

CNET Review
The Good: Reproduces deep black levels and excellent shadow detail; solid color saturation; uses less power than previous 1080p plasmas; adequate connectivity with three HDMI and two component-video inputs.
The Bad: Less accurate primary colors and color temperature; skimpy picture controls; still less efficient than comparable LCDs.
The Bottom Line: With deep black levels and generally excellent picture quality, the more eco-friendly Panasonic TC-PS1 series of plasma TVs strikes an appealing price/performance balance.
