Panasonic TH-50PX50U 50-Inch Flat-Panel HD-Ready Plasma TV
AMAZING - I AM SO GLAD I SPENT THE EXTRA ON A PANNY!
Let me start this review by stating that I purchased/own the TH-50PM50U NOT the TH-50PX50U for sale here.  The only real difference between my 50\\" and this one on Amazon is that it DOES not have the internal tuner, and oh yeah, it costs about $700 less. ;)   <br /> <br />At first I was concerned that it would lack features.... but in fact, it lacks NOTHING if you have a digital cable box/sat box.  That is all you need to watch.  I purchased it at Costco for $3200, and will never regret it! <br /> <br />Understand that MY 50\\" does not have a cable catv connection in the back, so it needs to be component/hdmi input.... which I don't mind as I doubt I will not have an HDTV box to go along with my tv.  Plus this version does not seem to have the \\"aspect\\" lockout problem that seems to plague this version! <br /> <br />Anyway...I originally owned the samsung 5067 dlp....... totally disappointed with it...from horrible viewing angle, noise, and FINGERPRINTS INSIDE THE SCREEN!!!!!!! I returned it right away, bought the plasma, and could not be happier! <br /> <br />Don't hesistate on this great TV! But if you want to save money, and dont need the integrated tuner, buy it at costco!!!
