What People Say

"Although it's missing a couple of inputs, the Panasonic TH-50PHD8UK surpasses any 50-inch plasma we've reviewed in terms of image quality and overall value." from Cnet.com "If you are looking for a huge screen that is easy to use and will provide a stunning picture with a good signal and you don't want to drop enough money to buy a car, this may be the display for you. " from audioholics ABOUT WHERE I PURCHASED THE TV FROM: I bought this TV (technically a monitor) from Butterfly Photo. Although they weren't the cheapest (still got a great price), it was an online store I've bought from in the past and I knew they had a physical location if I needed to get in there face about something. Turned out to be one of my best shopping experiences which is very comforting for such a large purchase. from Amazon.com And I just have to tell you. You will not find a better display anywhere on this planet for sell right now(2-01-2006)! The Panasonic TH 50PHD8UK 50 commercial model is far superior to any other plasma display and non plasma displays, like DLP and others! Even the Panasonic consumer models are no match for this beast! from Amazon.com Cons: No hdmi input from Shopping.com Pros: Picture quality, simplicity of design, Panasonic reputation for reliability from Shopping.com Pros: Best Picture of All HD Sets from Shopping.com from Cnet.com from Cnet.com from Cnet.com
