Description:
The Panasonic TH-58PZ750U is a 58-inch, plasma television.
Compared to other plasma TVs on the market, it is expensive at around $4,030.
In general, a liquid plasma display can output more realistic black-levels than an LCD display can.
Pros:
Has a 58-inch screen size.
Also, this TV 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.)
With built-in HDTV compatibility, this television 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 TV 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:
Suited for those who are looking for a stylish, compact TV.
Value:
In general, this TV's price seems a bit steep, with respect to its features.
