This Monitors give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Fantastic plasma...but it's not for everyone
I am really happy with this purchase. Here are the reasons:
PROS:
- Reasonable price for a 50" plasma. Great value.
- Great picture quality/color/detail (see caveat below)
- Appealing enclosure. Simple, clean. (This was big for me. I find that plasma case designs tend to draw too much attention to themselves. This TV has a slim dark grey, almost black frame. I like it since the plasma is dominated by the image and not by the unit itself. Also, a 50" TV is not a small appliance by any means and this allows it to not overpower a room.)
- DVI or HDMI inputs sold separately, as easily installed module. (This can be viewed as a 'con' but I like the idea of not paying for bell-and-whistles that I don't need. I only needed the DVI input)
CONS:
- Stand sold seprately.
Now having espoused how great this plasma is, it must be said that this TV is not for everyone. Internal processing (upscaling or rendering...
2. Best in class
UPDATE:
I have now used this for several months. This TV is outstanding.
* The picture quality is excellent.
* Generates only modest heat.
* Generates no noise I've been able to detect.
* Glare/reflection is less than my old, non-plasma TV.
The only downside is that the manual is pretty hazy on some important topics: I can't figure out if there are screen-saver tools, so I'm still concerned about burn-in.
That notwithstanding, I'm happier with this purchase than I expected to be, and I had pretty high expectations... :)
ORIGINAL:
I started with some assumptions:
1. Plasma clearly has a better picture and picks up fast action (like the NBA playoffs) better than LCD, so deciding on a technology was pretty straightforward.
2. I have digital cable with an HD DVR (both from Cox Cable), so have no need for a tuner.
3. I have a five-speaker surround sound system from Sony, so speakers are moot.
4. The...

Gorgeous Plasma Monitor
The Panasonic TH-50PH9UK is the darling of knowledgeable A/V enthusiasts on a budget. Well reviewed by everyone from CNET to Audioholics, the 50PH9UK might be the most cost-effective way to put an incredible 50-inch plasma display in your entertainment system.
You should know that this is a monitor and not a TV. For many, that is a positive, not a negative. It has no built in tuner. Nor does it sport built-in speakers, enabling Panasonic to dress the display in an elegant, minimalistic black bezel. (Speakers ARE available as an option.)
This monitor comes with a few inputs. (Component and VGA, I think.) The user can have any input he wants, however, simply by purchasing the appropriate blade and installing it in one of the available slots. Many users get the HDMI blade. I myself purchased a DVI blade for technical reasons I will not go into here. This blade system is very nice and works very well. This "buy only what you need" aspect of the 9UK is one of its most...
