CNET gave this model 8.5 and in their review had not a lot to say regarding the downsides: “Digital cable subscribers will lament the loss of the CableCard slot, but since first-generation CableCards can’t handle EPG or pay-per-view services, it’s really not a big deal (more info on CableCard’s shortcomings). There is also no PC input, which could be a drawback for those looking to surf the Web on their new big screen.”

Wide-screen, 50-inch plasma televisions from makers such as Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard can be purchased online for less than $2,000 this holiday season. In the days before Thanksgiving, Sony’s entry-level, 50-inch LCD was listed as low as $1,348, and Samsung’s 50-inch Digital Light Processor set was advertised for $1,135 over the Net. As recently as two years ago, 42-inch sets were selling for prices in the neighborhood of $4,000.

PC Magazine (if you can get through the rolling, flying, jumping ads): Now is the best time yet to buy an HDTV. Prices are affordable to mere mortals, and fierce competition among manufacturers—as well as a little prodding from Congress—has resulted in a wide selection of displays that deliver high-definition enjoyment in a variety of styles to suit any taste.

Panasonic, the market and technology leader in Plasma TV, is turning the dreams of many consumers into reality this holiday season thanks to technological advances, lower pricing and $200 installation rebates which are making its best selling line of Plasma HDTVs more attainable than ever during this peak buying period.
According to the Consumer Electronics Association, sales of flat panel TVs are expected to top $7.3 billion this year, up 85 percent from a year ago. Half of consumers surveyed said their next TV set will be a flat panel. A recent Opinion Research Corporation study of more than 1,000 adults found that nearly 75 percent of respondents feel buying a plasma HDTV is more affordable/feasible than one year ago. Only one percent said they currently own an HDTV.
The best selling Plasma TV brand in the United States this year, Panasonic continues to provide a superior quality picture and viewing experience for consumers looking to purchase a large flat panel TV. The latest Panasonic Plasma HDTV line includes 37″, 42″, 50″, 58″, 65″ and 103″ — the world’s largest Plasma TV.
