Panasonic Viera TH-50PX600 50in Plasma Review

The only problem with the Panasonic 37in TH-37PX600 we looked at a few weeks ago was that there just wasn’t enough of it. Which is why we’re cockahoop – whatever the hell that means – to have our grubby mitts this week on its much bigger sibling, the 50in TH-50PX600. If the picture talents that made the 37in model so special can stretch themselves as far as 50in, we could have something truly special on our hands.

The first thing that leaps out is the presence of two HDMI inputs, permitting simultaneous connection of, say, an HD-DVD/Blu-ray player and a Sky HD receiver. An impressive three Scarts show that Panny hasn’t forgotten the ‘standard definition’ things in life either, while other highlights include component video jacks; a D-Sub PC interface; a CI slot where you can put conditional access cards for receiving subscription digital TV services; and an SD card slot for direct playback of digital stills.

This is quite simply the finest 50in TV we’ve seen to date. Need we say more?TR Recommended Award
