wait, isn't this super slick?

I found it to be. If you're a gamer I'd think you want to jump on this with the IPS panel. Paul's TV got out of VA, so no more tax if you're there.

Sweet - in for six. Rep'd

I think the TC-L47ET5 is a great deal at $699 with SAVE100

How is the quality? Is this more of a budget TV?

It's Panasonic's top of the line non 3d (2d only) LED TV. Quality at a budget price if you don't need or want 3d. It has smart apps with wired ethernet, wifi usb dongle available to make it wireless.

Quote from krwa : How is the quality? Is this more of a budget TV?

taken from cnet:

"The good: The Panasonic E50 is an attractive LCD TV that offers a solid amount of features, including Smart TV, for the price. Picture quality is better than that of the much more expensive Panasonic DT50.
The bad: That said, picture quality isn't the best, with rival LCDs and plasmas providing better performance for the money. Colors are a little off and a lack of deep blacks and comprehensive shadow detail lets the set down. Uniformity is an issue with large splodges in black areas of the picture. The TV built-in lacks wireless connectivity.
The bottom line: The Panasonic E50 is a budget TV with a smattering of features but little to recommend in the way of picture quality."

I read that too, keep in mind that the price they reviewed it was significantly higher at MSRP of $1699. I've seen the set in person, and at this price, its fairly slick.

ips on an led tv? whoa

I would like to get this one... is it a better tv than the 2D one?

Adds wifi, and passive 3d. Might be worth it if you need these features.

What about IPS? is that a great feature to have?

I got the 55" ET5 which is the 3d model for $100 more a couple weeks ago.

Nice picture but I'm not a hard core video critiquing person. Sound leaves a quite a bit to be desired. The Vizio it replaced had much better sound.
