Panasonic TH-50PX500U 50-Inch Flat Panel HD-Ready Plasma TV
Incredible Plasma guaranteed to satisfy!
This plasma is by far the best I have seen for the price and the size.  I did some extensive research on this model and virtually all the reviews were highly positive.  This Panasonic has the 8th generation plasma panel which is currently the state of the art.  To use an automotive analogy, \\"You have a high end 8 cylinder engine running under the hood\\". <br />It really makes a difference, the blacks are deep in saturation and the colors are vibrant.  HD TV looks incredible on this panel and regular broadcasts are well defined. DVD's look great, so when HD-DVD comes out I'm sure the video will be awesome, you get very spoiled to the HD feeds after a while.  Mitsubishi and Pioneer both have equally high-end plasmas which rival this Panasonic, but there price is not in the same ballpark.  For the money, you can't beat this Panasonic.
