Panasonic 50 HDTV VIERA TH-50PZ850U

Panasonic is one of those companies offering neither the best nor the worst in consumer electronics like 50 HDTV sets and computers, but rather, they offer something good at a lower price. That said, this Panasonic 50 HDTV is shockingly good for the price.

A lot of reviewers are quick to point out that the image quality and black levels aren’t quite as impressive as the better 50 samsung plasma hdtv sets, and that you don’t have as many options as you do with a lot of the flagship LG HDTVs, nor is it quite as mind blowing in features as the better 50 HDTV Plasma Vizio sets, but the difference is so marginal that it’s pretty hard to notice, really.

What you get is, just about, top notch image quality, or at least image quality so good that you would have to be an android to notice any difference in an HDTV comparison between this one and one of the better LG HDTV sets or a good 50 HDTV plasma Vizio set. As far as the human eye is concerned, this Panasonic 50 HDTV is one of the best 50 inch Plasmas around. Easy to buy online, 50HGTV units can be found cheaply on the net.

You do get 4 HDMI inputs, which is better than most of the Plasma TV LG 50’s, and more impressive than many of the best LCD HDTV sets.

One of the main thing reviewers like about this 50 hdtv plasma vizio is that it has a surprisingly low price for being one of the best HDTV plasma sets around. The black level performance is better than you get from most LG HDTV sets or Panasonic 50 HDTVs, you get some of the best lcd HDTV and some of the best HDTV plasma color decoding, some of the best lcd HDTV and some of the best HDTV plasma video processing, and two separate HDMI inputs.

However, the false contouring artefacts bothered some users, especially those used to the excellent artefact rate you get with plasma tv LG 50 sets and the Panasonic 50 plasma HDTVs, and there’s no CableCard or HDTV tuner.
