I had the 50 inch Panasonic television ordered me because my old 42 inch LG had given up the ghost and I am still the same even wanted to expand a little on the occasion :-) In the price range of the TV is simply a hammer, image is easy with "only" HD-ready top (this is also not better at z. Ex. ARD HD, ZDF HD and Xbox 360 ... because bringing a Full HD TV absolutely nothing). Who of course all day Blu-ray looks and and the size might want to keep only 2 meters or even less legroom, then it may be already because of me that you can still detect a minimal difference. But is actually a joke. So, do not be afraid: for the "normal" use, so Free HD, game console, DVD or even just in SD - operation (with digital SAT or digital cable) and at least about 2.50 pitch I would now say just once, that the TV very close rankommt respect. Qualifiers to the much more expensive models! Have more known the 50 he Panasonic Top - own models and were just speechless, what is there today for EUR 449.00 :-) Otherwise: No 3D, no Internet or other bells and whistles, but as I said for top image, excellent usability, m. E. also good sound and video player with USB connection included. Sorting programs based on a favorite list is also very simple and the switching between programs is also fast! They are also so topics that in some TVs cause problems. Otherwise you should take into account the normal plasma properties: So Top black level, the highest quality display in a darkened room as the television reflects. Perfect picture without any "streaks" or artifacts and vivid colors even when viewed obliquely. Those are still the differences are also attached to the modern LED-LCDs. All together: who wants to spend 1,000 euros and still no emphasis on top quality and no 3D or Internet needs can go wrong here nothing: just buy it !!!!
