Panasonic 50″ plasma HDTv for $2,000 @Best Buy

Panasonic TH-50PX60U 50″ plasma HDTV is currently on sale for $1,999 at Best Buy. A high contrast ratio of 10,000:1 with 3,072 shades of gradation and 29 billion equivalent colors come standard on this 50″ plasma TV for breathtaking picture quality. 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.”

Business Week: Consumer-electronics manufacturers are gearing up for the holidays by cutting prices on high-def TVs. Here’s a handy buyers’ guide:
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.
