Performance

Panasonic TH-PHD6UY

Best black-level performance of any 50-inch plasma on the market; good color decoder with no red push; solid video processing with 2:3 pull-down; independent memory per input.

Basic industrial design; few consumer-friendly features.

This pure-picture panel is far superior to Panasonic's consumer models and smokes every other 50-inch plasma available.

Panasonic 42" Plasma without TV tuner TH-42PWD8UK

Did lots of research and yes there may be better at double the price. If your normal, you won't know the difference... Happy Hunting

Excellent TV! Mounted with the Sanus System mount from NewEgg and looks awesome.Ordered the TV on Friday and it came by AIG on Tuesday which was amazing to me. The NewEgg sale price was the cherry on top! Buy It

No HDMI slot, bought it at another retailer because NewEgg only had the #7 and the #8 is much better as another reviewer stated. Wish I read about it earlier and save 15% restocking fee

Bast bang for the buck

I checked reviews for this display before I bought. Found only good things back then and even better things now (since I and many others got it). I had some doubts about it not having a TV tuner, but that's what makes the price so grate, and who needs...

Don't wast your time looking for something else, and definitely don't buy any other HDTV for $3000+! This is it! the HD tuner comes anyway with your cable/satellite service.. so this display is ALL you need. The colors are perfect, picture can't be any...

Wish I could find a 52" for this price

buy this plasma panasonic rules

this is hands down the best plasma to buy if you want to spend 1.5 grand

Cons are like everyone else stated- beautiful picture, very long service life, JAPANESE, unbeatable options like expandable inputs, picture settings, pip options,PRICE ; got to love panasonic. best plasmas

The only two things that I consider cons are the native resolution and not being able to multi pip 2 analog inputs(only effects PC use) it is not clear at all (hooked up through s-video b/c the inability to multi input pip from 2 analog sources) I have...

best pic quality for the $

i've put a couple of months with this set and it's been great! HD season finales looked wonderful. Have had no problems with it at all. Panasonic has a winner with this one!

outstanding picture quality, nice remote, decent menu setup, 720p & 1080i HD looks great even though it's an ED set, can customize what inputs you want

if using for use in the home, you'll need to buy additional inputs (hdmi, dvi, etc)

Great Buy

Great buy, great quality, great newegg service. I have had no second thoughts about buying it. Picture is amazing, not HD but real close. Hooked up a home theater system for the tuner and speakers
