    Panasonic TH-59Px60U

    By GARY  Jun 5, 2006 | 34 out of 43 found this Panasonic TH-50PX60U review helpful

    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

    Panasonic TH-50Px60U

    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

    best quality for the money

    By Paul  Jul 13, 2006 | 12 out of 14 found this Panasonic TH-50PX60U review helpful

    Pros: Best display if you kow how to set it

    Cons: wish it had more card reader slots. CF,MS, etc.

    After looking for a high quality 50 inch plasma for the past several months, circuit city finally lowered the price by $400.00 witch made it a real buy compared to others in it class. beautiful picture with the proper adjustments, nothing can beat it... at any price. Buy it you wont be sorry. Read more Less

    Now I'm watching TV again

    By *Plum Crazy*  Oct 20, 2006 | 6 out of 7 found this Panasonic TH-50PX60U review helpful

    Pros: Lightweight,easy set-up

    Cons: Glare on screen, break-in period

    This Panasonic Plasma TV is awesome to watch. I haven't been an avid television viewer until I got this baby. Now I dig through all my DVD's and have upgraded my cable subscription to include Hi-Def channels You MUST thoroughly read the ow...ners manual to read up on the different aspect ratios so as not to "burn in" the appearance of "side bars" that are used to fill in the screen when watching 4:3 broadcasts or the full screen videos. Also you should utilize a darker contrast or the "cinema" mode for the first 100 hours so as to minimize the possibility of burning in a permanent image in the screen. This model can be wall mounted or set on/in a Tv stand. Comes with a pedestal to be attached.Wall mounting hardware and installation is separate. Has an SD card port for viewing JPEG photos. How cool is that? The only "Con" is that this screen is not a Non-glare type like an LCD. I am hoping in the future that Panasonic develops a plasma TV with an LCD-like Non-Glare surface.

    plasma panasonic th-50px60

    By mj  Feb 27, 2007 | 3 out of 4 found this Panasonic TH-50PX60U review helpful

    Pros: best plasma on the market

    Cons: none so far

    I bought the 50" plasma 2-5-07 and the picture quality is better then i expected, I paid $2000 i shopped for about a year. And by far this is one of the best on the market, before you buy a plasma look at the panasonic th-50px60 and you can see ...why they have a high rating and it even looks better when you get it home.

    Why Did I Wait So Long?!

    By Zack  Nov 30, 2006 | 2 out of 2 found this Panasonic TH-50PX60U review helpful

    Pros: Crispness-Color-CINEMATIC FEEL

    Cons: Remote

    Oh my Gosh! Where do I begin with this T.V. This is more than a T.V., folks. This is a cinematic experience. When I first turned on the T.V., I put on a DVD. Just the Warner Brother introduction alone, with the blue sky and clouds was awesome. The co...lors are so rich and REAL. the clarity is unbelievable. When I reach for the remote and hear the first little click before it turns on, it's a feeling of excitement. Let me tell you folks, I NEVER WATCH T.V.. I mean, Never! I just bought a 36 inch about 6 months ago and never watched the darn thing. Decided it was to bulky and bought the flat screen. MY GOSH! When I get home, I forget about the internet. It's all about HD for me. Some people on the reviews say the sound is lacking.. But, let me tell you there are some audio adjustments that will ENHANCE the sound on this baby. YOU CAN SEE THE PORES ON PEOPLES FACES. Now that can be gross or cool.. It’s up to you. Nevertheless, it lets you know it's a quality picture. The remote does not operate my Sony Dream System. I’m bummed about that. But, hey, I can live with it. Hmmm... Did I mention I stood in line for 12 hours to get this T.V.? Yeap, overnight in the cold! Was it worth the uncomfortable Blacktop and time? YES! YES! YES! Read more Less

    1st HD set

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 30, 2006 | 2 out of 2 found this Panasonic TH-50PX60U review helpful

    Pros: Crisp picture on HD very good SD, easy set up

    Cons: Would like to have card reader

    Easy to set up right out of the box. Good connectivity and easy to adjust picture. Need good cables to get best picture. The HD looks great and the SD is better than expected, a litte bit of a soft image. Running sound thru Surround system so cannot ...comment on quality there. Surround is a must for theater experience!. Solid value at this price & got it at costco so there will never be a return problem. I do suffer from audio lag if i use my VCR tuner (in place of PIP). DVD's look great. I have an old Toshiba and it creates some sound feedbak so I will be upgrading. Just turn off the lights and plug in your favorite DVD...who needs the theater. Read more Less

    50 inches of Plasma

    By Teacher Side Jobs  Nov 16, 2006 | 2 out of 2 found this Panasonic TH-50PX60U review helpful

    Pros: Quality of Picture

    Cons: Features

    For the price, the picture quality is great. When you want to pump up the volume, the sound quality is pretty good. I highly recommend upgrading your cable package to HD. The High Definition channels are awesome!!! Watching the HD channels can be a s...tress reliever! Adding PIP would be a plus. Read more Less

    Excellent TV

    By R  Nov 16, 2006 | 2 out of 2 found this Panasonic TH-50PX60U review helpful

    Pros: Excellent clarity

    Cons: Haven't found any yet

    I looked at several TVs before I bought the 50PX60U. I even looked at some LCDs, but they lacked the "crispness" plasma offers. Don't believe any of that crap about LCDs lasting longer than plasma etc. That has not been true since 1995 ...I compared this 50PX60U to Sony LCDs, Samsung plasmas and Pioneer Plasmas. Overall, this tv had the best picture. 2nd place goes to Pioneer. The Panasonic looks great connected to an upconverting DVD player (made by Sony, only $120!). I have it set in 1080i, High Definition TV looks awesome....DVDs look even better. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed. Read more Less

    Great TV for the price.

    By Jason  Oct 27, 2006 | 1 out of 1 found this Panasonic TH-50PX60U review helpful

    Pros: Video games and dvds look awesome on this.

    Cons: Sound system. A little to much learning on features.

    All my xbox 360 games look fantastic. I really wish I had a high definition dvd player right now. Sound isn't the greatest in the tv, but that is what home sound systems are for. I got this for the same price, if not cheaper, as most 42in plasmas... and it looked like it had better picture than almost all the others. Once you get this tv you tend to watch tv of any kind more, so be wary!!! Read more Less
