While we did not review the 50-inch Panasonic TH-50PZ700U, we did review two other Panasonic 1080p plasmas, the 42-inch TH-42PZ700U and the 58-inch TH-58PZ700U, which are identical but for screen size. We were quite impressed by their performance, and ...
We expect the TH-50PZ700U to perform just as well as the two sizes we did review. Note: This product is part of the Panasonic TH-PZ700U series.
While we have not reviewed the Panasonic TH-50PX700U, we have reviewed the larger and smaller versions, which are identical but for screen size.

One reason analysts continue to predict the demise of rear-projection HDTVs is because larger flat-panels, such as the 58-inch Panasonic TH-58PZ700U, continue to fall in price. This massive plasma still costs a mint however, at least compared to ...
While it costs more than just about any rear-projection big-screen, the 58-inch Panasonic TH-58PZ700U plasma offers superb image quality.
For big-screen lovers with the means to go flat, the Panasonic TH-58PZ700U should be near the top of the list. Features The Panasonic TH-58PZ700U improves upon last year's excellent TH-58PX600U primarily in the arena of pixel count. Before our...
Produces a deep level of black ; highly accurate initial color temperature ; clean, sharp image ; sleek design
Expensive ; less impressive connectivity than other high-end HDTVs ; subpar standard-def performance ; less-effective glare-reducing screen

Features The Panasonic TH-58PZ700U improves upon last year's excellent TH-58PX600U primarily in the arena of pixel count. Before our evaluations, we set the Panasonic TH-58PZ700U up for optimal performance in our completely dark theater. The...
Produces a deep shade of black with excellent shadow detail ; clean image with little noise or false contouring ; solid, standard-def picture quality
Expensive ; too small to exhibit benefits of 1080p ; slightly inaccurate color temperature ; primary color of green skewed toward yellow
The Panasonic TH-42PZ700U is one of the most expensive 42-inch plasmas on the market, but it's also the best-performing flat panel of its size we've ever tested. If you have the cash to burn but don't have the space to go bigger, the Panasonic...

Award: Editor's Choice!
The world leader in plasma display panel (PDP) manufacturing, Panasonic currently has the largest selection of plasma televisions that offer 1080p screen resolution (1,920 by 1,080 pixels, progressively scanned). The company's $1,995 TH-42PZ700U is ...
Full 1080p resolution. Very good standard-definition video processing. Good video-noise management
Overscan with 720p video sources. No 1080p input with VGA or component video ports
Panasonic's 42-inch plasma uses full 1080p resolution and effective video processing to keep its picture clean and sharp.
The premium-priced NEC 42XR4 plasma TV produced a black-level measurement identical to that of the TH-42PZ700U, but its peak white measurement was 22 percent higher than the TH-42PZ700U's, resulting in a CR of 1,001:1. The world leader in plasma...
You might expect the only 1080p plasma in our November issue's HDTV roundup--and the first 42-inch 1080p plasma ever--to outshine its eleven competitors in image quality. It did: PC World's jury rated its picture higher than that of any other TV, with ...
Terrific picture First 1080p 42-inch plasma TV
Confusing onscreen controls Light on extra features
Panasonic's large, heavy, programmable remote feels clunky, and the lower half has too many buttons, but your fingers go naturally to channel surfing and volume controls
The TH-42PZ700U's performance wasn't quite as impressive in our standard-def broadcast test. But to get a good picture, you must set up the TV properly, and the TH-42PZ700U's unintuitive on-screen menus don't make this job any easier.
Suddenly there have been so many changes to our television system and it's left many people confused. Once upon a time life was simple and so many of us who now have gray hair (bald in some cases) lived with a square type TV with only and antennae or ...
The TV is a good choice for watching every day HD and non HD programming. Even if you use it every day all day long, this monitor could go for 20 years.
