Panasonic PT-50DL54 50-Inch Rear-Projection DLP HDTV
Fantastic set at a great price!
I had been shopping for a big-screen TV for two years until I finally pulled the trigger on this set.  If you are not familiar with DLP rear-projection technology, it allows for slim, light televisions with good brightness, reasonable viewing angles, and no burn-in at relatively low prices.    This set features what is currently the newest DLP technology from TI (the HD2+ chipset) along with an 8-segment color wheel.  Television choice is highly subjective, but I compared the picture quality of this set to that of the equivalent Mitsubishi, Samsung, and Toshiba products and, for myself, found the Panasonic to be the best, along with the Mitsubishi.  At the price offered by Amazon, it was a no-brainer.    With HD content, the picture is astounding.  DVDs also look great.  SD (or \\"regular\\") content looks dull and washed out, but no worse than any other TV of this size.  The chassis itself also looks very nice.  My only complaint is that there are not individual picture settings for the different video inputs, but this is minor considering the overall quality of the product.
