Reviews of the Maxent MX-50X3

CNET Review
The Good: Relatively inexpensive; deep blacks; accurate color decoding; independent memory per input; position and size controls; detachable speakers; remote has separate source-selection keys.
The Bad: Subpar video processing with no 2:3 pull-down; some visible false-contouring artifacts near black; just one HDMI input; lacks an HDTV tuner and a CableCard slot; ho-hum styling.
The Bottom Line: The 50-inch Maxent MX-50X3 plasma is an excellent value by virtue of its impressive picture quality, but don't expect high style or numerous features.
