VIERA LEW56 by c|net (Mar, 2012)I performed a hands-on evaluation of the 55-inch Panasonic TC-P55ST50, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series.
VIERA LEW56 by Patrick (Jun, 2012)The cinema screen size and quality now compare and the popcorn is cheaper at home.
Performance Real world tests of Panasonic VIERA LEW56
black levels
VIERA LEW56 by Dan-Levy--Dan-LevyI found the stock black level to be very good, though the TV required some contrast and "Black Level Deepness" adjustments.
VIERA LEW56 by S.-Hill (Apr, 2012)Now that I have a TV with amazing black levels I understand the draw and I must say it is worth it to seek that out when shopping.
contrast ratio
VIERA LEW56 by Bazajaytee--Bazajaytee (Apr, 2012)It is a pleasure to see the TV powering up, it looks fantastic even when it is turned off but when it comes on... wow, crystal clear.
VIERA LEW56 by Damian-A-Rios (Nov, 2012)Colors, movement, clear, clean pictures are all you get from this TV... I'm not saying it's the best TV in the world...(i haven't tried them all), but it is definitely a superior quality TV to most I've seen.

Panel
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 20% by by greenman--greenman (Jun, 2012)Plasma's picture is grainy, LED-LCD picture is so much better, colors really pop.
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 20% by by paulI ordered a Viera tv was very excited about it... my brother has the VT and it's awesome, beautiful tv, pic, and the screen is plenty bright and clean.
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 60% by by Alvaro-Garcia--Da-Funk (Jun, 2012)First off the picture quality on this television is amazing, I haven't utilized the 3d yet but from what I have heard it's pretty good.
Picture quality
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 100% by by Jaskayahaira-Arroyo--Jaskayahaira (Jun, 2012)The colors are excellent and the brightness is also more than enough (unless you want to get a tan, jk)!
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 80% by by M.-Jacobs--audiophile (May, 2012)I have only had this TV for a few weeks now and I must say the picture quality (PQ) blows away every other display I have ever seen.
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 100% by by Douglas-McKnight (Nov, 2012)The overall level of image contrast, color accuracy and dark area blackness of this TV is outstanding.
Type
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 100% by by Drew-Miller---drewmillerATLLED/LCD. This television has very lifelike pictures and colors.
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 80% by by M.-Jacobs--audiophile (May, 2012)As far as modern-day HD is concerned, I believe the best technology is plasma and Panasonic has the best models available-period.
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 100% by by A.-Boyles (Nov, 2012)Previously, I had a 1080p LCD TV and I am amazed at much much better the picture is.
3d
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 100% by by Jimmer (Sep, 2012)The 3D on this TV is amazing, blows the theater 3D out of the water.
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 100% by by Patrick (Jun, 2012)I would say the 3D effect is about 25% of a full "3D Movie.
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 100% by by Patrick (Jun, 2012)These "active shutter" 3D glasses are critical to the 3D technology, so I recommend following what Panasonic says to do (or call and ask their tech support before your order).
Content
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 100% by by Dan-Levy--Dan-LevyOverall, this television does not disappoint in image quality, black levels, inputs, or sharpness, especially with 1080P content (yes, i'd make a bluray player a requirement if owning this TV).
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 80% by by LordK (Jun, 2012)But I have not once noticed it when playing games or watching movies.
Panasonic VIERA LEW56 32" | Rated 100% by by Eephus (Mar, 2013)Blu ray movies are mind-blowing on this set.
