| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the Panasonic TH-50PX80U, but we did review the smaller model in the series. | Panasonic's TH-42PX80U 42-inch plasma sets the picture quality-to-value standard for entry-level flat-panel HDTVs. | With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available. | Accurate color helps set apart the excellent picture quality of the Samsung PN50A550 50-inch plasma HDTV. | A couple of issues keep its picture out of the top tier, but excellent black-level performance still makes the Panasonic TH-46PZ85U plasma HDTV stand out from the pack. | Basic specs |
