highly recommended

For the price, it's unbeatable.

Bought this TV in August of 2007 and paid just over $1500 including shipping. Couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. HD channels look amazing and even SD looks much better than I expected. Sounds system is more than adequate, number of inputs gives you plenty of options. Panasonic makes one of the best plasmas on the market, and at the reduced price, you can't beat the value of this TV.

Don't bother getting a 1080p unless you have something to use it for(only bluray, hd dvd and ps3 broadcast the signal). Go with this Panasonic 720p and be pleased for years to come.

Simply WOW

After all the positive reviews, I don't think I need to persuade you into get this visually-stunning plasma tv. This is by far the BEST HDTV. EVER. Bar none.

I have done serious, extensive research before finally taking my chances in ordering the unit. I wanted an impressive HDTV that could last for over a long haul. Believe me you: the HD-quality is amazing. Watching DVD/Blu-ray movies is just unbelievably awe-inspiring. You simply cannot believe your eyes.

My only regret? I probably should have purchased a larger version of the same line. For me, the set was not as big as I have come to expect. But 50" is indeed huge for an average household.

Other than that, I made a great decision. Decently priced, I think you should stop reading: go ahead and get it!

Excellent Value

I've been shopping for an HD TV for a long time. I've been eyeing the Panasonic TH-50PX600U because of all the great reviews and the great price. The price was a shade under $1,900 when I started looking but I bought it for less than $1,600. The 50 inch size makes programing content and signal picture quality less forgiving, but wow. If there is a flaw in the quality, this size is going to magnify it. So you might want to consider this when you decide on the 50 inch size. That was my only hesistation when I first hooked it up. But with the right content material and cables, magnificent. The colors are vivid and awsome. We are loving it.

Superb Digital Plasma

Bought the Panasonic 50" = 9th Generation Plasma on June 23rd, and Boy was I Happy to make the Best investment in any tv I have bought. Chose the Plasma over the LCD because of brightness and could have been any happier. The thing is a work of art. I am 53 and the TV should last for at least 28 years. I will be 81 before I need another. Easy to set up but requires an extra Person or two. I was lucky to have to friend over that day. My only regret is that I didnt purchase this unit in April so that I could watch my Spurs win their 4th Title but the Dallas Cowboys should be up and running in 6 weeks. Bought it from TigerDiret in Florida through Amazon and Saved 900.00. Thanks Amazon.

GREAT PICTURE, BUT FEW ADDED FEATURES

First off as a background, I view HD programs on this TV from a FIOS subscription. I also watch blu-ray movies and play games using PS3.

It has only been 10 months and the price of this TV (TH-50PX600U) has dropped to more than half. I purchased mine from BB for $3,200++ on September last year with 36 months, 0% financing . Back then, this was Panasonic's top of the line for their 50-inch models and it was available only at the Magnolia Home Theater section (BB had the 60U, which was $500 less). 1080p models available then were limited and the price was too steep. The price points between the 720p and 1080p made me decide to go for this TV.

The good thing with shopping around first and looking at the floor models before making a purchase is that you can personally view the different manufacturer models' side by side so you can clearly discern the difference between them.

PROS:
- better picture clarity and vividness
- comparable to picture quality with the pioneer elite (arguably the best plasmas but the price difference is not justifiable to me).
- blacker blacks

CONS:
- Aesthetically, this TV was on the losing end because all the competition had the elegant pure black front side (panasonic has since then followed suit).
- does not have PIP feature when using HDMI
- PIP has only one mode (split sreen)
- when viewing pictures, you cannot resize or zoom in
- has different aspect ratio views but you cannot resize/stretch each setting (I have a toshiba HD TV and it has that feature)

Overall, I rate this TV 4 stars because of the cons stated above. Would I recommend to buy this 720p model now that there are 1080p? You have to consider a number of factors. The obvious reasons would be the price point and the screen size.

For a 50" screen is it worth getting a 1080p? I don't think so. The eye can only distinguish or resolve individual pixels at a certain TV viewing distance. Increasing the resolution at this distance will not make any difference unless the viewer goes closer or the TV is enlarged.

If you have DVD collections like myself, will there be a difference viewing them on a 720p or a 1080p display? DVDs have 480p resolution. No matter what they say about upscaling of 480p to either 720p or 1080p, it is still 480P and there is really no difference.

As regards the technology, there are no 1080p programs at the moment and most HD transmissions are either in 1080i or 720p. Both 1080p and 720p are capable of 1080i image conversions. Which is better in converting 1080i? Well, I only have 720p HD TVs so I cannot make a comparison. For 720p, definitely the 720p will be better as this is it's native resolution and unlike 1080p, no image scaling is required.

There is no question that 1080p will eventually be the choice as it is inevitable, but is it worth now to spend twice the cost of a 720p TV or roughly coughing up $1500 more? If you are getting a 50" TV with a limited budget, then NO. But if you can get the same financing that I got from BB, then GO FOR IT and get a 60" or a bigger TV.
