In our earlier post, we reviewed the Hitachi UT37X902 Ultrathin LCD Monitor, which was a cool sleek LCD TV. Today we take a look at televisions from the other side of the war - The Plasma TVs.
There are many debates on the Internet regarding which is better - Plasma, or LCD, and while I won't take a stand on this (being more concerned about -'ahem', looks), plasma's aren't plagued by the viewing angles problem, which you recall, was an issue with the LCD's. As a result, action movies and sports are widely watched using this type of TV.
The Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U Plasma HDTV gets most points in the looks department, and is therefore a big favorite with us. The highlight of the design, is a full front cover of glass that presents a totally flat front. It's quite a stunner. Also, there are no buttons visible. Readers by now will be familiar with my preference for zero buttons at first sight, and will not be surprised by my enthusiastic admiration for this TV.
At the bottom of the screen, the panel flips down to reveal the buttons, and the HDMI inputs, as well as the AV inputs. The remote has an easy to use layout, and the buttons are of a comfortable enough size to navigate in the dark. No backlight though.
A major selling point of this TV, is the THX Display Certification. This consists of a set of minimum requirements that are necessary for proper viewing. Only those TV's that meet these specifications are given the certification. And if you mess up the settings on your TV, you can restore the recommended THX settings with a single click.
The Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U Plasma HDTV supports HDTV, which is a high definitino signal for audio and video. The difference between HDTV and ordinary TV is fairly significant, with the picture being sharper, and more vibrant.
In keeping with the 'Green' movement, the first time you set up the TV it asks you if you're in a home or a store. If you select 'home', it adjusts it's settings to save quite a lot of power by engaging the standard picture preset.
All in all, a spectacular TV for those willing to get the greatest and best "Irresistible Goodies". Find it at www.pricealerter.com
