TH-50PZ77U 50-inch 1080p Plasma Flat Panel HDTV

From: $1,230.00

This TV is all about natural, fluid images. No more blur or flicker. So don't worry about missing out on who punched who in a big time boxing match. Or the winning triple sow cow in a figure skating competition. Here's why. The TH50PZ77 matches the most advanced pixel resolution and image-processing technology with an ability to beautifully reproduce fast-moving images. It's like you're at the ringside, only without the flying spit or ice shavings in your face. 1080p also delivers amazing color reproduction resulting in impressive contrast and vibrant colors. What you get is warm, accurate skin tones, deep blacks, gorgeous greens, breathtaking blues and vivid reds for color that's as rich and bold as life itself. If you want to see the swirl and flash of Zorro's cape and sword in an entirely new light, you'll dig Panasonic's high contrast ratio of up to 10,000-to-1. Such a wide range from black to white means great depth and dimensionality with vibrant colors. Deep blacks provide excellent shadow detail during dark scenes, like when Zorro leaps from rooftops at night. Brilliant whites allow this TH50PZ77 to render bright scenes with vivid realism. Add to this impressive contrast ratio the ability to display 68.7 billion colors and what you have is a TV that shows you high definition content in all its glory. It's a beautiful blue bird day, and you want to watch your favorite morning show without having to pull the curtains. You don't have to endure the sun's glare with TH50PZ77's anti-reflective coating. But you can let the sun in. It feels good. You've just returned from a colorful trip to Costa Rica. Well, despite the warning you got for getting too close to the turtle nest. . . No one has to know about that. But you did take loads of photos. Now here's where the TH50PZ77 enters the picture. Literally. Share your JPEG photos on your Panasonic plasma using the built-in SD card slot. Simply insert the SD card, which is about the size of a postage stamp, into the SD slot on the TV and give a slideshow of those baby turtles with the Photo Viewer.

After a lot of research...

I was going to get an LCD.

They were the new thing. Plasma had burn-in, dead pixels, etc.

After doing a bit of digging, it turns out that most of the Plasma problems were 1st and 2nd generation issues. And according to...

Great tv, but ...

A little disappointed a newer model came out at the same price a couple weeks after I bought it, but I guess this is the way things go in the electronics world. I love the picture when I have HD signal. SD channels are blah...they looked better...

Wow! My Wife and I Are So Happy

I lobbied long and hard for a new flat-panel TV and this was the choice in the end. This set balances value, performance, and asthetics. This television has the most beautiful picture I've ever seen first hand in a home. It got the full one...

Faulty Product

Within a month of purchase screen would get very light after about 10 minutes of the TV being on. After about 5 more minutes the unit would power off entirely and the power LED would just blink seven times. Would have to unplug the TV from the...

Good TV -Bad Delivery

The TV so far is performing as I expected. The delivery service , however, left much to be desired. It was delivered by one man who told me I would have to assemble the stand and setup the TV. When I objected, he asked me to help him and did I...

Great Picture and Sound!

I admit, I'm very picky about what I buy, but I have to say, I am more than pleased with this television! I shopped around for an affordable 1080p HDTV but I didn't want to give up quality and I found both in this unit. The picture is very...

Beautiful Picture

I bought this TV for several reasons:
1) LCD was about the same price for this size (50 inch)
2) Plasma TVs have a blacker black (which this one does)
3) I did not need a fancy speaker system since I am connecting it to a...

Excellent picture and Excellent Price

This unit has an amazing picture. My previous TV was a Mitsubishi Diamond Model HD unit and the Panasonic's picture in HD and particularly SD is much better. Also, there's very little motion artifact compared to the Rear Projection Unit. I'm...

Panasonic 50" Plasma

I spent a lot of time researching this product and finally made the purchase in March of 2008. I have been totally happy with the set. It is an outstanding picture and dollar for dollar the best buy out there!

Thanks Amazon!

Excellent TV; more than satisfied

It would be hard to be unhappy with this unit. The colors are excellent and the image is stunning. The only comment I can make is of the industry as a whole. I researched this TV on Consumer Report. I used the March 2008 issue. Buy the time...
