Panasonic TH-50PX60U 50-Inch Plasma HDTV (2006 Model)
If you can find one, buy it
I purchased this TV from Circuit City a month ago and am delighted with the picture. You feel, very much, as if you are there when you view quality high-definition feeds. Older DVDs at 480p look excellent when upsampled to 1080i (I got the best results at the 1080i upsampling rate).  <br />There are plenty of fine TVs out there these days and in-depth information about them all at the AVSForum.com link. \\"Panny's\\" as they are referred to there, are held in high esteem.  <br />After spending 4 months looking for a large screen TV, I had decided that it was almost impossible to make an intelligent choice in what is an extremely fast-changing scene. The salesperson at CC was kind enough to feed a 1080p feed (as we will soon be getting from the new BlueRay players) through the Panny to see how it will look when these high-definition players become available. The picture was every bit as good to my eyes as was the native 1080p Sony Microdisplay TV placed conveniently below the Panny.  <br />This convinced me to purchase the Panasonic now. I can live with the small difference between 720/1080i and 1080p.  <br />Now is a good time to buy a high-definition set. There are plenty of feeds available from both cable and satellite services. <br />
