Panasonic TH-50PX75U 50-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV Review
You can trust my review, bad or good is your choice and i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
I've had this TV for 5 days now. I've spent the majority of those days cruising around the HD Tier of my local cable company. As far as the picture goes, it is simply beautiful. I've done a massive amount of tinkering with the settings. Not because I can't find the combination that I like, but because I just felt like playing around with it and comparing the different configurations. Do yourself a favor and make sure the first thing that you do is change the mode from "Vivid" to something else. "Vivid" is the factory default and most likely set that way to boost the attraction level for the showroom.
I started out by just using the calibration settings from http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com for the TH-50PX60U:
Picture Mode Standard
Picture +22
Brightness +8
Color -1
Tint -4
Sharpness -14
Color Temperature Warm
These gave the picture a warmer, more realistic feel right off the bat. Skin tones were much more realistic after calibrating to these settings. The TH-50PX75U is, for all intents and purposes, the same TV as the TH-50PX60U from last year with the former having a few more features.
I also decided to play around with the "Custom" mode and use the above settings as starting points. I decided to stick with the above settings for the time being as I find them most pleasing to the eye. Overall, the black levels look very good showing detail in the dark areas as well and the color is vivid. The picture looks very crisp and you get that "realism" factor that I have really only felt while researching plasmas and LCDs. Other technologies of HDTVs have not given me that "realism" feel.
I've found that it is possible to notice the differences between the various cable channels and the HD that they utilize. For instance, I was watching one of the NBA Conference Finals games on TNTHD and also flipping to a baseball game being broadcast on ESPNHD. TNTHD broadcasts in 1080i while ESPNHD broadcasts in 720p. I noticed that the ESPNHD baseball game was actually a tad more crisp and vibrant than the TNTHD basketball game broadcast. However, I also noticed that the basketball game looked more crisp whenever the main camera that is used to pan the floor during the action was not used and the action cut away to another camera. I was amazed that I could see the difference between the cameras being used within the same broadcast. That being said, the game action was still more crisp than anything that I have ever seen on my old tube, non-HD set. I think that I may have been able to assist this by tinkering with the settings a bit but it was far from an issue as it still looked great. Also, while I flipped back and forth between the baseball and basketball games I also happened upon a live concert which looked even better than either the baseball or basketball game. The detail was just stunning.
Also of note is the fact that you will notice that live events (sporting events, concerts) look much better in HD than a movie that is being broadcast in HD. The movies look very good and you won't be disappointed. I'm just trying to establish what to expect as a general rule.
I spent some time comparing the standard definition broadcasts versus the HD broadcast of the same events. For instance, I flipped back and forth between the basketball game being broadcast on TNT between their standard definition digital signal and their HD channel. If all you've ever known is non-HD TV you will not believe that you ever had to watch an event in standard definition when you do the flip-comparison. The amount of detail that I was missing with my old TV was just incredible.
I do not think that the standard definition channels are all that bad overall. Some better than others but for the most part it is slightly better than what I had been used to watching on my old TV. This, at least to me, is saying something being that this TV is 50" versus my old 27" non-HD TV. I was expecting the fuzziness of standard definition channels to be exaggerated because of being spread out over a much larger screen. I have also been using the "Just" aspect ratio when viewing standard definition channels which is like the "Full" aspect ratio except that it uses some sort of algorithm to make the center 1/3 of the picture appear without the appearance of being "stretched" and the outer 2/3 of the picture is stretched which seems to present a more normal presentation in lieu of being stretched. I am doing this simply as a precautionary measure during the first couple of hundred hours of viewing to guard against image retention (burn-in). I realize that the technology has come a long way in eliminating image retention but I would rather be cautious.
There is no PIP with this unit. However, this is not an issue for me as my HD/DVR cable box has the PIP feature which works just fine for what I will use it for.
I do not currently have a lot of peripherals and don't ever plan on having much more than I have now. I currently have my old DVD player (connected via component video), my XBox 360 (connected via component video) and my HD/DVR cable box (connected via HDMI). That leaves me with one more HDMI port and no more component video connections along with the composite and S-Video connections. I plan on getting an Upconverting DVD-Recorder that I will connect via the remaining HDMI connection thus freeing up one of my component video connections. Other than that I am looking into some sort of Home Theater In A Box (HTIB) that I will be connecting to the setup. I would have liked to have another HDMI connection for that purpose but I will manage.
The built-in speakers are more than adequate for now and I really don't have any complaints about them. Not overwhelming but they are fine until I can get a HTIB.
The pedestal stand that comes with the TV seems quite sturdy and was very simple to assemble and connect to the TV. Once on the stand the TV seems quite well balanced and it would take quite a shove for it to tip over. Panasonic also provides you with a couple of bands that you can use to screw into the TV itself and then to the stand that you place the TV on if you are not planning on wall-mounting the set to make it a little more stable. I prefer the stand/pedestal mounting personally.
The TV is in a fairly well-lit room during the day and even though this particular model does not have the glare reducing shield that the next level up model has, I have not experienced any issues with glare. This was a concern for me but I have been pleasantly surprised.
The black bezel/casing looks infinitely better to me than the TH-50PX60U's silver. It was a wise change by Panasonic for this year's model.
The remote is simple yet very functional. I like the larger buttons and everything is easy to find. The menu system is sufficient although I still find myself exiting out of a sub-menu when I didn't want to from time to time. This is probably more a result of getting familiar with the menu system than anything else.
Overall, I could not be happier with this HDTV thus far.
