Product Description: Panasonic TH-50PX60U

The realism of a TV's image is strongly linked to its contrast ratio, and this plasma features a high contrast ratio of up to 10, 000:12. Such a wide range from black to white means great depth and dimensionality with vibrant colors - and this plasma can display an incredible 29 billion colors for a superior picture.

The realism of a TV's image is strongly linked to its contrast ratio, and this plasma features a high contrast ratio of up to 10, 000:12. Such a wide range from black to white means great depth and dimensionality with vibrant colors - and this plasma can display an incredible 29 billion colors for a superior picture. Deep blacks provide excellent shadow detail during dark scenes, while brilliant whites allow Panasonic's plasmas to render bright scenes with vivid realism.

Sports, movies, and original network programming are all available in high definition from many local broadcasters. Receive and view local over-the-air broadcasts on this plasma in stunning HDTV clarity using the built-in HDTV tuner3. If your cable company passes through HDTV broadcasts from local broadcasters, you can decode and tune those as well.

The best images you can ever view on a Panasonic plasma don't have anything to do with HDTV. Share your JPEG photos taken with a Lumix digital camera on a Panasonic plasma using the built-in SD card slot4. Simply insert the SD card, which is about the size of a postage stamp, into the SD slot on the TV and enjoy a photo slideshow.

A Single Cable Carries High-Quality Digital Audio and Video If you have even a moderately complicated home theater setup, you probably have a pile of tangled cables on the floor behind it. Imagine replacing all those cables with a single cable that carries both digital video and audio at the same time. With the new HDMI standard, that's exactly what you get. The HDMI connector on this TV accepts high-quality digital video and audio via the same thin cable, allowing you to run one cable from the source to the TV.

This widescreen TV features a width-to-height ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing a theater-like experience at home. View HDTV broadcasts and widescreen DVDs the way they were meant to be seen.

HDTV broadcasts and DVDs offer more detail and better color than analog broadcasts, and it takes a high-resolution display to deliver all that picture information. The high pixel count of this plasma display provides fine detail for outstanding HDTV reproduction. More pixels also translate into less stair-stepping artifacts; curved and diagonal edges look smooth and natural.

    Pros: easy to operate and style

    Cons: picture quality less than previous model lacks sharpness

    while still a good TV this model has lost some clarity and shar[ness from the previous model. Price quickly dropped in first 30 days in stores by almost $1000.00. I feel this is a good TV but the clarity and sharpness you expect form a Plasma TV is ...lacking. Read more Less

    By Barney  Nov 16, 2006 | 12 out of 13 found this Panasonic TH-50PX60U review helpful

    Pros: Best picture for non-HD channels compared to others in class.

    Cons: Occasional horizontal hold shift when turning TV on. Seems to be isolated to HD channels. Easy to fix: Cange channels and back corrects alignment.

    Some say the HD image quality is not as great as others in it's class. That is debateable. Personally I think it's just fine. If you are looking for the sharpest HD picture around, well, then go up in board quality to the sharper (higher reso...lution)Panasonic TH-50Px600U (*-Note... it says the 600U, not 60U). The 600U costs a little more, but the picture is fantastic. And the non-HD picture is better than any of the other brands. Only Fujitsu and PIoneer boards in the same class seemed to have a better HD picture, but that's what you get for the extra couple thousand $$$ you pay. Fuljitsu rejects more boards within their quality control than any other manufacturer... higher standards. I regress, back to the Panasonic TH-50Px60U. As usual it comes down to what is important for you. For me it was the following top three criteria: 1) Non-HD picture quality - Not everything is in HD, and I love to watch those documentaries on the Discovery channels. The Panasonic TH-50Px60U (and Panasonic TH-50Px600U) won out here in their respective classes and price ranges, hands down. 2) Contrast Ratio (black look like black) - The Panasonic TH-50Px60U won out here for others in it's price range. 3) HD picture quality - Others had better quality in its price range and class. Not by much, we're talking the difference between being able to count Hillary Rodham-Clinton's whiskers before an upper lip waxing and not. Is that something you really want to see? Don't answer that aloud within earshot of anyone. :-) Read more Less

    Panasonic TH-50PX60U

    The TH-50PX60U 50" Diagonal Plasma HDTV gives you deep blacks, bright whites and 29 billion colors -- it's an image so close to real life, you'll swear you were in your favorite programs instead of just watching them. Enjoy crisp, lifelike details with the up to 10,000:1 contrast ratio. Deep blacks provide excellent shadow detail during dark scenes, while brilliant whites render bright scenes with vivid realism.
