50 Plasma TV Brands

When selecting a 50 plasma TV
the brand that you select may be important to getting a TV that will last for a number of years. While there are more inexpensive brands out there, buying a 50 plasma TV from a brand that you know and trust is important to many consumers.

After all, if you have purchased products from a particular company in the past, then you will likely have a good idea of the quality of the TV you are looking to buy.

50 Plasma TV Warranties

You should also look for a 50 plasma TV that has a warranty of at least five years.Many TVs will carry only a one year warranty, which could mean that you make a big investment and then thirteen months down the road have a heap of scrap sitting in your living room.

Since sending the television off for repair would be costly, make sure that the warranty covers having the television serviced with a local repair shop or a “we come to you” warranty so that you won’t be out more than the TV is worth just to send it in for repairs.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

screen size Samsung PN50C550 50 Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV (Black)   50 Plasma Tv With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

screen size Samsung PN50C550 50 Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV (Black)   50 Plasma Tv With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Panasonic TH-50PX60U 50-Inch Plasma HDTV

51SZ7TJ9S2L. SL160  Samsung PN50C550 50 Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV (Black)   50 Plasma Tv

  • 52-inch HD-ready plasma TV; measures 47.6 x 32.2 x 3.7 inches (WxHxD)
  • Integrated NTSC, ATSC tuners; QAM tuner compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception
  • 1366 x 768-pixel resolution; 10000:1 contrast ratio; motion adaptive 3D Y/C comb filter
  • Connections: 3 composite A/V (1 front), 3 S-Video (1 front), 2 component (Y/Pb/Pr), 2 HDMI, 1 SD memory card slot
  • Two stereo speakers, 10 watts apiece (20 watts total); BBE ViVA HD3D virtual surround sound

Panasonic TH-50PX60UFeaturing Panasonic’s 9th generation gas-plasma screen, the 50-inch TH-50PX60U features a width-to-height 16:9 aspect ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing a theater-like experience at home. Its maximum of 29 billion colors and over 3,000 shades of gradation provide exceptionally fine detail for outstanding HDTV reproduction. The set’s built-in ATSC (DTV) tuner pulls HD signals (480p/720p/1080i) right from the airwaves, and its QAM tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. It also includes a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot, enabling you to take an SD card directly from a digital still camera or camcorder and insert it directly into the TV for quick and colorful photo slideshows.

A plasma screen renders vivid colors like you’ve never seen before (as in, up to 29 billion in this case), extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor’s slim profile–the TH-42PX60U is a mere 3.7 inches deep, one of the slimmest plasmas around–perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.

The TH-50PX60U features a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution and an amazing contrast ratio of 10000:1. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV’s ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. Other features include V-Chip parental controls, on/off sleep timers, closed-caption decoding, aspect ratio control, and video input labeling.

The TV’s internal stereo speakers are powered by 10 watts per channel (for 20 watts of total power). It features the following connection options:

  • Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 2 inputs (with 2 audio inputs)
  • HDMI: 2 inputs
  • Composite (RCA audio/video): 3 inputs (1 on the front), 1 output
  • S-Video: 3 inputs (1 on the front)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any AV source with an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV). HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio–all using a single cable.

If a component doesn’t have an HDMI connection, you’ll also get great picture reproduction using the three-jack component video (Y/Pb/Pr) input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. Component video output is available only for DVD playback.
