Quick take: Although CNET did not review the 50-inch Panasonic TH-50PZ750U, we did review the 58-inch Panasonic TH-58PZ750U. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Panasonic plasma HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 58-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 50-incher will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Panasonic TH-58PZ750U.
Description:
The Panasonic TH-50PZ750U is a 50-inch, plasma television.
Compared to other plasma TVs on the market, it is midpriced at around $2,335.
In general, a liquid plasma display can output more realistic black-levels than an LCD display can.
Pros:
Has a 3D-Y/C digital comb filter.
This is more favorable than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price.
(A 3D filter is one of the best types available, and is "motion adaptive," meaning it utilizes a special method for clearing up the moving parts of the picture, as opposed to the static parts.)
Also, this TV 1080p (FullHD), which is than some similarly priced TVs.
In fact, the typical cost of a product this is $3,055.
With built-in HDTV compatibility, this TV set can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.
(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)
The 3:2 pulldown feature of this set reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons:
None noted, given available product data.
Suitability:
A plasma TV, suited for personal entertainment and home theater.
Value:
In general, this TV's features are in line with its price.
