 As Compared to Sharp 52LE810UN Edge Lit LED Sep 09, 2010
I bought and evaluated this TV for about two weeks before taking it back and purchasing the new Sharp 52LE810UN edge-lit LED. I have since taken back the Sharp and will be picking up the TC-P58S2 tomorrow. Here are my thoughts:
Overall Picture Quality: Overall the S2 has superior picture quality to the Sharp Edge Lit. The LED's only advantage is the Film Mode/Motion Flow, which gives the picture a very smooth video like appearance. Some people don't like this as it doesn't represent the film in the manner the Director originally intended.
Black Levels: The S2 has great inky blacks. These black levels hold whether in a completely dark or brightly lit room. The LED edge-lit black levels were no where near as good. In a dark room the Sharp's screen looked white/cloudy, even with the backlight turned all the way down. A full LED set with local dimming would likely fair more favorably against the S2.
Constrast: The S2's contrast was far better than the Edge Lit LED. Again, in this area Plasmas still dominate.
Bright Room Performance: The S2's matte screen did an excellent job of handling bright rooms and it's backlight was plenty strong to handle even direct sunlight. The glossy screen of the Sharp was very, very reflective and seriously detracted from the viewing experience, despite it's very powerful backlight.
Viewing Angle: The S2's viewing angle is phenomenal. You can sit at any angle to this TV and still have a bright and vibrant picture. While the Sharp LED had good viewing angles, it can't keep up with the Plasma and began to get washed out at about 70 degrees.
Network Connectivity: The S2 does not have internet connectivity like the LE810. The LE810 has a host of internet widgets and features. This was not an issue for me though, as I utilize my PS3 for internet connectivity and BLU-Rays, meaning the Sharp was redundant for my purposes.
Connectivity: The S2 does not have a d-sub input. This could be an issue for some, but was not for me, as I have an HDMI output on my laptop.
Design: Thin Edge-lit LEDs have great visual appeal, but they sacrifice performance for looks. The S2 is comparable in design to mid-priced LCDs, though slightly heavier. The buttons on the S2 and its remote function well and are well laid out. The buttons on the Sharp are "supposed" to be touch sensitive, but require A LOT of pressure to activate. The Sharp's remote is stylistically and functionally similar to the S2. Again, this sacrifices looks for function. The Sharp's base is solid glass, whereas the S2's is plastic.
Sound: Surprisingly, the Sharp delivers great sound (for a flat panel) despite it's thin design. The Sharp pumped out more volume at 25% than the S2 did at 50%. The Panasonic has weak sound for large rooms. I'd recommend using a HTIB or Receiver/Speakers with the Panny. The S2 now sells for $899 on Amazon. This is a great value! The $1,200+ price of the 58 inch S2 is truly compelling. With the Sharp, for $1,799 your getting the newest LED technology with internet connectivity in a slim design.
Value: I purchased the S2 for $1099. The Sharp cost $1,799. The Panny outperformed the Sharp in almost every area and does so at over $900 less.
I highly recommend the Panasonic to anyone looking for picture quality first and design second.
 Great TV for the $$ Aug 29, 2010
This is a great quality TV for the price. In addition to free shipping and no tax from Amazon.com it made the decision easy. The ONLY problem I have noticed thus far, is that the IR sensor for the TV is in the direct-bottom-center of the TV, further my front/center channel speaker on my surround sound blocks the sensor; minor problem, but I suggest they move the IR sensor to the left or right side.
Great value. Aug 24, 2010
The box arrived and the TV almost set itself up when it was plugged in. The instructions are good and it has all of the features I wanted such as multiple inputs. The picture is great and far beyond what we had before. The difference in picture quality if you use a BluRay player is amazing! The sound is mediocre but I use a surround sound system anyway.
Now the bad part. The box arrived a week late. It actually shipped a day early but sat on a local loading dock for a week. It was only after a few phone calls with the shipping company did they promise to deliver it in TWO MORE DAYS! They were supposed to call a half hour before they arrived but they did not. The delivery guys could not have been nicer.

 Green cast on bluray playback, graininess Jul 31, 2010
Pros: natural looking face, not as fake as LCD. Good viewing angle. Anti-glare coating. Good price.
Con: annoying green cast very prominent on blu-ray play back. The green become primary color of the back ground. If you look at the wall or back ground, the supposed white color wall becomes green, esp. night scene. Whatever color setting can't get rid of the green cast. I'm not sure if I got a defective item. Also the picture very grainy on blu-ray, let alone regular dvd up-conversion. It's supposed to very sharp and smooth on blu-ray, but if you stand close to watch it's very grainy. Also the previous reviewer's picture setting making the picture way too warm and bright. Not comfortable for eyes.
Google panasonic green cast does generate some discussions, some users reports that it's not fixable. I will not recommend this tv. Considering returning it.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
