Panasonic Vierra TH50PX80U 50'' 720p PLASMA TV

The Panasonic TH-50PX80U delivers amazing bang for the buck. A few years ago when plasma HDTVs cost $5000 or more, did you ever think you'd see a high-quality model priced this low? Panasonic can do it because they're among the handful of companies that actually manufacture plasma panels — and they build more of them than anyone else in the world.

For a lifelike picture, it's hard to beat plasma
Video experts know that a TV's picture contrast — measured by the contrast ratio — is as important for overall picture quality as screen resolution. Panasonic's 11th-generation panel technology raises the contrast ratio to 15,000:1. That means you'll see deeper blacks and more realistic shadow detail.
