Panasonic TH-42PD50U 42-Inch Flat-Panel EDTV Plasma TV Overviews
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 4000:12. Such a wide range from black to white means great depth and dimensionality with vibrant colors – and this plasma can display an incredible 8.58 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.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 widescreen broadcasts and widescreen DVDs the way they were meant to be seen.

Panasonic TH-42PD50U 42-Inch Flat-Panel EDTV Plasma TV CustomerReview
Panasonic is the leader in plasma tvs and this model (and its successors) are hands down your best bet for quality. I did a lot of research before investing (because like many people, I don’t have $[...] or so just burning a hole in my pocket) and switched from LCD to Plasma for its superior viewing angle and overall better color and what I can only call a better “living picture”. br /br /I went to Best Buy and other retailers looking at all the different models, including many HD models. I also viewed some HD flatscreens as well as HD DLP models in people’s home that were much pricier than this model. This TV looks JUST as if not BETTER than those models.br /br /This TV really has the best picture quality I have seen! Especially if you invest in a cable box and HD TV (and after the investment, why wouldn’t you?). The HD picture on this TV is BEAUTIFUL, I was seriously mesmerized by how good movies could look. As many owners will tell you, this is may not be an HDTV, but you won’t be able to tell the difference. I have had visitors also tell me the same that they couldn’t tell it was an EDTV and it had a superior picture to an HDTV they had.br /br /The stand and speakers are included, which makes it an even better value. At first I found some other models which seemed to be comparably priced, but when you added the hundreds of dollars for a stand and speakers, there is really nothing in its price range that can match this TV. The included speakers are fine, though of course I’ve hooked it up to a stereo system and it has enough inputs (and upgraded inputs like HDMI and component) that I can set up a respectable home theater system.br /br /Highly recommended!
