To start with, I don't play video games and I have my sound running out to two Paradigm Atom speakers, so I rated those aspects of the TV as average as I don't have any experience with them. It wouldn't be fair for me to rate them a 5, nor would it be fair to for me to rate them a 1.
The standard-definition (SD) picture is as crisp as it can be blown up to 50". Unless the SD picture is letter boxed there is some picture distortion when you watch the 4:3 SD image in 16:9 aspect ratio. This, however, is to be expected.
I have a Blu-Ray DVD player, and the picture on Blu-Ray movies is absolutely stunning. The TV is THX certified, and while I'm not certain what exactly that means, when you watch a Blu-Ray movie on the THX setting it displays the colors, resolution and brightness level in such a way that it looks like you are viewing the movie in a theater. The THX setting does such a good job of displaying the image that you can use the THX setting for regular TV viewing and not have to mess around with adjusting the brightness, sharpness, color, tint, etc. yourself.
As with most plasmas, the colors are true to life whether it be on the THX setting or on the 'normal' TV setting. It produces the deep blacks and bright whites that plasmas are known for and the nuance in color that allows plasmas to create a much more life-like picture than the super bright, and dare I say artificially bright, LCD TV's.
All in all, this is a great TV with a fantastic picture. Don't worry about sound quality, no TV, IMO, provides good sound as their speakers are too small. If you want good sound, buy a decent set of speakers or better yet a home theater system. As for price, I checked Best Buy and Wal-Mart, and for the size, the 600 MHZ subfield drive, being THX certified, and being a Panasonic (great reputation), no other TV comes close. This is a great deal on a great TV. Period. Don't take my word for it, do some 'Googling' of this TV (TC-P50G10)and read the reviews. This is one of the top rated HD TV's of 2009.
