Strengths: 1080p, Great Picture, Great Design (Sleek and Modern), Easy to Set-Up
Weakness: 2 HDMI Inputs Speakers could sound better
This is my second Panasonic Plasma Television and it is everything that I could have asked for. I purchased from ElectronicsShowplace.com and the transaction went very smooth. They called me within an hour after the purchase to verify legitimacy and confirm details. I received it within the alloted time frame and in excellent condition. I have used it with my PS3 for some full 1080P. 300 the...
Strengths: Picture quality, sound, easy to set up
Weakness: Lack of PIP
I purchased the tv yesterday and am extremely pleased with it. The picture in 1080p is outstanding! It makes viewing in standard definition disappointing. I do not have surround sound speakers yet however the tv speakers sound pretty good. Very happy with this tv. I could not justify spending $1000 more for the Pioneer Elite PRO-FHD1.
Strengths: Picture clarity
Weakness: Lack of picture in picture capability and cable card slot.
This is truly an amazing piece of equipment. The HD image off the cable and from DVD's is incredible. I'm also very impressed with the quality of the audio coming from speakers that are invisible as part of the frame. The stand is sturdy and even thought it is suggested that the unit be secured with brackets or wire, I found that unecessary. The remote is also capable of controlling most of my...
Strengths: Colors, Picture quality
Weakness: Remote Control, Heavy
This is one of the best 1080p plasma TV’s I have seen so far. I have shopped around for good plasma for several weeks and actually bought the 50PX75U (720P), and when I got it at home I did not like the Standard definition picture, it was fuzzy, and then I been told the picture will be the same for the 1080P and no hope, and been told also to try other technology if I like to watch SD, and I...
Strengths: Great picture, easy set up
Weakness: None (except minor weaknesses noted below)
This TV was delivered yesterday, so I only have a day's experience, but haven't been able to take my eyes off the picture for very long. This is a 1080p set, but I only have 720 hi def cable which upconverts to 1080i. I also have watched a couple of movies using regular progressive scan DVD player. Thus, have not had the benefit of 1080p input, but from what I've seen, I can't imagine the picture...
Strengths: picture, connectors, SD slot, great to view pictures from your camera,
Weakness: none so far
I bought the tv directly from Panasonic due to the fact that I got a really good deal. The shipping was prompt and the TV was delivered without a scratch. The setup is easy and requires to assemble the stand, but it was not a big deal. The design is great, the speakers blend with the rest of the frame and look really cool. The picture is outstanding (1080p), the TV has plenty connectors for DVD,...
Strengths: Excellent sound and pictures/set-up is a breeze/looks outstanding
Weakness: no cable card and lack of PIP
Been using this tv for 2 weeks now and very satisfied with its performance. Got the tv from 6thAve from their latest sale and I think it is worth every penny I paid for it. The picture is so crisp and real. The speaker system is excellent. You probably wont even use your surround system on this tv. I have been on the market for plasma tv for years now with this tv, I am not disappointed....
Strengths: It's a good value on paper...
Weakness: ...unless yours has a problem.
This TV looks good on paper, but watch out if you have a problem! Mine worked great, for the first few hours, before it developed severe problems- two large blocks (2inx8in) on opposite sides of the TV burned out. That's obviously a problem, but things do go wrong sometimes... I called Panasonic service to set up the repair, and that's when things went downhill. We waited around all day for the...
Strengths: Picture quality, contrast levels
Weakness: No PIP, no cable box
I felt that a plasma would give me a picture closest to what I am used to on my tube set. And the plasma that impressed me the most was the Panasonic TH-58PZ750U 1. It has superior blacks … I hate gray blacks. 2. Better detail in the shadows. 3. Accurate color … so many displays fail terribly in their reproduction of greens.

The Panasonic's TH-50PZ700U is a full bodied 1080p plasma HDTV that produces rich high definition images. At 50" it's big enough to be considered for a small home theater installation and small enough to fit comfortably into a more intimate setting. <p> <p>

Panasonic model TH-50PZ700U plasma TV
Strengths: Just beautiful to watch. Impressive quality. A lot of TV for the money.
Weakness: Feels like it runs hot. Heavy for its size. Does not have RGB level adjustment.
This plasma TV has the best picture I have ever seen. I love the detail and bright color representation that has standout detail. The 50 inch screen is mesmerizing. Panasonic has a good reliability rating which was a selling point for me. At the time I bought this TV there was a Panasonic rebate which was a deal maker for me.
