Panasonic TCP50X3 50 inch VIERA 720p plasma HDTV

The Panasonic TC-P50X3 is not your run-of-the mill plasma TV. First of all, this 50" beauty features a 600Hz sub-field drive using Panasonic's own unique image-analysis, so it will look great no matter how fast the action on the screen is. Then there's the VIERA Image Viewer. This SD slot lets you quickly, easily enjoy a wide variety of common media formats, and it's perfect for showing off pictures or video you shot to a crowd. If you have an internet connection, your entertainment options are even greater. Easy IPTV serves up a variety of top content providers including Netflix, Pandora, and Facebook, while DLNA certification lets you access media from other DLNA devices in your home. Better yet, with an optional adapter, you can enjoy all the networked features wirelessly! If you're having a hard time navigating the remote, VIERA Tools lets you press a function button to have an explanation appear. The TC-P50X3 is environmentally-friendly too, with the panel containing no lead or mercury. Perhaps the best way to be eco-conscious is to buy products that last, and in that aspect, this Panasonic delivers. It offers a panel half-life of up to 100,000 hours, meaning even with 8 hours' use every single day, this TV would last over 30 years. And best of all, you get all that on a 50" HDTV for well under 1000 smackers.
