Reviews of the Panasonic TH-50PF9UK
-
CNET Review
The Good: Excellent black-level performance; accurate color decoding; independent memory per input; versatile PIP function; extensive picture adjustments; customizable inputs.
The Bad: Expensive; inaccurate primary color of green; does not include a stand, a tuner, or speakers; limited to a total of only four inputs and doesn't include an HDMI input out of the box; lacks composite- and S-Video connectivity; cannot change aspect ratios with HDTV sources.
The Bottom Line: The "professional" Panasonic TH-50PF9UK delivers excellent picture quality, but the price premium afforded by 1080p won't be worth it for most buyers.
