Panasonic TH-50PHD7UY Professional Series 50-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel Plasma Display
Exceptional
This is by far the best for the highest quality 50\\" HDTV that you can find.  New model 8 replaces this one -- only difference is 1080p, in addition to the 1080i which this model 7 is capable of.  I have looked for this size HDTV for 5 years and have found this to be superior to just about everything on the market...the one caveat is that this is just a TV screen (no speakers are included).  The optional TV stand works very well if you do not wish to hang the unit.  My purchase from Tiger Direct was flawless -- product arrived quickly and in perfect shape.
