Love it. It has especially easy controls. Great picture. Easy to hook up.
I Could Not Be Happier With My TH-50PX75U.......2007-12-11
I've had my TH-50PX75U for three weeks now and overall it's been a very positive experience full of excitement and no remorse. I can't imagine wanting anything else for the combination of picture quality and price.
I did a lot of research and had my heart set on a 46-47" 1080p LCD. I'd read a lot of bad things about plasma: burn-in, running hot, etc. I also didn't want to spend the kind of money 1080p plasmas were demanding and I had to have 1080p. As I researched the flat panels I heard more and more that at 50" and sitting 10' away, the human eye cannot see the difference between 1080p and 720p. I also found reviews like Consumer Reports, CNET, etc. giving better picture quality marks to plasma TVs. When I finally went to various local electronics stores to see for myself I was amazed that the lower priced 720p plasmas looked as good if not better than the expensive 1080p LCDs. Reviews of 720p plasmas all pointed squarely at the TH-50PX75U as head or near the head of the class. When the right Cyber Monday sale came along and I pounced. I haven't looked back.
I want to first start with the excellent packaging that made it very easy to move into my house. The box has handles at the bottom to make it easy for two people to carry. For a very heavy and expensive piece of electronics this is a very thoughtful design. Inside the box it's a minimum of waste and styrofoam. No overpackaging here.
Looking at the instructions, putting the TV on the stand look intimidating but it's very simple. There are arrows on the stand and on the TV that make it easy for two people to line it up and set it on the stand. Out of the box it connected right away via HDMI to my Comcast DVR and I was watching HD for the first time in my own home in less than an hour out of the box. Following advice on the internet for the break in period, I went into the Picture menu and took the TV out of Vivid mode and into Custom mode where I am using the following settings during the break-in period:
Picture: +12
Brightness: +5
Color: -2
Tint: -5
Sharpness: -3
Color temp.: Warm
Color mgmt.: Off
Video NR: Off
MPEG NR: Off
Black level: Light
With these settings the picture looks a little dark but it's just amazing. Panasonic actually recommends setting all these to 0 (50%) for the first 100 hours but that was intolerable. Just be sure to fill the screen and not have any bars along the sides or tops for too long. According to everything I've read burn-in is just not an issue but the break-in period will determine the life of the panel so it's best not to have it set too bright.
Watching football is a completely new experience. Not only is the detail amazing but seeing the whole field like this you see all you've been missing. The TV itself is beautiful. The shiny black bezel is very thin all around and the speakers are completely hidden. The power-on indicator is an unassuming little red light in the lower left hand corner. Red's probably not as cool as blue but I like it. There are two HDMI ports in the back along with two component inputs and two composite/RCA/S-video inputs. There is also an optical and RCA audio output on the back. I tried using the optical out but it will not output Dolby 5.1. You're better off going right from your STB or DVD player to your receiver with your optical/coax audio or better yet HDMI.
The remote is suprisingly small and not at all about trying to be a universal remote. This remote is for the TV. There is a button that brings up the menu to switch between inputs so going from cable or TV to DVD is easy. The inputs can be labelled or turned off if they aren't being used. The only input that cannot be turned off is the TV input which is too bad if you're using it as a monitor like I am (and I suspect most people are) since I have HD over cable. You can use the aspect button to cycle through 4:3, H-Fill, Just, Full and Zoom. It will remember for the particular signal (SD or HD) what you last selected. The sound from the speakers is pretty nice and once you adjust the bass and treble from the flat out-of-the-box settings it's even pretty nice to listen to music on while you are waiting for you HTIB to be delivered. Changing the picture settings is very easy and there are a lot of choices. There are no independent color settings in the user menus but lots of other things to fiddle with like those I illustrated above.
I can't wait to hang it on my wall. It's going to look like a picture. I also can't wait until the HD DVD wars are over. BBC's Planet Earth on Discovery HD Theater looks amazing in cable thru HD. I can just imagine with less compression from a DVD it must be out of this world. This TV makes me want a hi-def DVD player like you can't believe. It also makes me not want to watch SD any more. SD looks good but not great but what do you expect when you blow up what's a poor quality image to begin with. You are going to blown away when you watch you favorite shows in HD for the first time. I can't wait to see the Summer Olympics in HD in 2008. Everyone is coming to my house for the NFL playoffs / Superbowl. When is that HTIB going to get here?!
Pictures of the back of the set can be found in the product manual on the Panasonic website. For everything you want to know I highly recommend downloading the PDF from the Panasonic website.
Nothing is perfect however so I have a couple of nits. None of these are showstopper for me since I knew all about them except the last one going in. If I could give 4.9 stars I would only deduct .10.
- I would have liked a dedicated PC input. I am relieved to hear however that most of today's HTPCs support 720p output and using one of the HDMI inputs is not an issue except that I am using them all.
- I would have liked 3 HDMI inputs. I already have my Comcast DVR and a DVD player hooked into the HDMI inputs. That means only analog inputs are left available.
- Screen glare is kind of annoying when I notice it but once there's something on TV I find I stop noticing it and forget all about it. It will be better once we take the Christmas tree down and there isn't anything flashing on and off behind me :-). I am convinced the glass front is one of the reasons the picture is so good. It's not hidden behind tinted plastic like an LCD. You pick your poison.
- When the screen shows black and white (like credits) I see a rainbow effect -- like a yellow and blue flash if I move my eyes. My wife doesn't see this effect but I see it and it's annoying. Others have reported it on the internet so it's worth trying out in the store to see if it's tolerable for you. This would be my .10 deduction.
I am more than convinced this TV was the right choice over the Philips 47" 1080p LCD I was sure I was getting until I saw this TV. Not that the Philips wasn't nice but the Panasonic was just in the next tier above. If you can find a good deal (sub-1500$USD) pounce on this TV. You are not going to be disappointed.
Panny TH-50PX75U 6 month review.......2007-11-29
Got to tell you, I was skeptical at first because I'm more of a Sony guy. With all respect though, this tv is incredible so far. I saved quite a bit of money also going with the Panny. Even with non HD television the picture is really good depending on the signal from the station you are watching. Regular DVD movies are awesome and when you put in an HD movie be it 720 or 1080- wow! Can't say enough about this set. I also play the xbox 360 on this tv and it is amazing! Don't be afraid to spend your money on this one-it's worth it!

Panny rules!.......2007-11-08
This product is every bit as good as Pioneer, Sony or any other brand. Most impressive is the Blacks and Blues. No wonder Consumer reports rates them so high. The nice new shiny black cabinet instead of the mat finish is nice but not as nice as Pioneer but you don't watch the cabinet so who cares?
