Panasonic TC-P42UT50 price range: $799.99

The good: In pure dollar/performance terms the Panasonic TC-PUT50 series is one of the best TVs we've seen, with astounding picture quality for the money. Black levels are the equal of Panasonic's ST50 series in a darkened room, shadow detail is very good, and colors are accurate. Unlike an LCD, as a plasma TV it has superb off-angle and uniformity characteristics. Despite the low price, the UT50 is still studded with the latest features, including 3D and Smart TV.
The bad: The UT50 series doesn't perform very well in a lit room, with blacks becoming muddy and indistinct. The performance of 3D is only passable, with quite distinct ghosting effects. The TV lacks advanced setup controls, which makes tweaking a better picture almost impossible. With only three video inputs it's not suited to users with lots of gear.
The bottom line: The Panasonic TC-P50UT50 plasma TV nearly matches the world-beating picture quality of the ST50 series, at an even lower price.

The 42 inch of this series simply rocks.

Pros: 1) Best Picture quality for all HD content.
2) Nice sound quality.
3) 3D movies are excellent when playing the original content via external media.
4) In Dark lit rooms, Picture quality is excellent.
5) Best Quality TV at a best valued price.Cons: 1) 3D in side by side modes creates ghost images.
2) No Built in Wifi. Need to buy Dongle or to use Lan cableSummary: Apart from the two cons, we can't say anything wrong with this UT50 model. So instead of purchasing the costly models without proper previews, this review should be helpful ...
Summary: Apart from the two cons, we can't say anything wrong with this UT50 model. So instead of purchasing the costly models without proper previews, this review should be helpful to you to choose this as your TV too. This review has been done after one month of researching between Plasma TVs and owning P42UT50 myself, experiencing its Picture quality and Features.
Specifications
- Manufacturer: Panasonic
- Part number: TC-P42UT50
- Description: The display alternately shows images for the left and right eyes. The left and right lenses of the eyewear open and close in sync with this display timing to show separate images to the left and right eyes. By repeating this action at high speed, the brain perceives 3D images. And because this method displays Full HD 3D images just as they are, both eyes receive 3D images in high, full-HD quality. Unique Panasonic technology converts 2D images into high-quality 3D images in real-time. The image depth is analyzed from the compositional, color and brightness data of each scene, to convert 2D images into naturally beautiful 3D images. In addition to ordinary TV programs, this method can be used to convert a variety of 2D images - such as web content, Blu-ray Disc media, and photos and movies saved onto SD memory cards - into 3D images with a high level of precision.
