The Samsung PN50C590 50" Class Plasma HDTV brings a theater-quality picture into your very own living room! It supports true 1080p resolution and 600Hz Subfield Motion blur reduction, so you’ll never miss a detail no matter how intense the action gets.


Panasonic TC-P50U2


Make your movie night a cinematic experience. Viera TC-P50U2 plasma HDTV is ideal for sports and movies, with crisp, focused images during fast-moving scenes. It's easy to view full-HD images with the SD card slot.


Samsung PN58B550


As much as we love plasmas' image quality here at CNET, there's no denying that they're power hogs . However, at CES 2009 we've seen several plasma manufacturers showing off new energy-efficient panels. Like Panasonic's NeoPDP plasmas, the Samsung PNB550 series of plasmas claim to consume nearly 50 percent less energy compared to past models. Here are the full details.Minimize


LG 50PS60


The 50PS60's THX Display Certification ensures exceptional viewing experiences, while 600Hz Sub-Field Drive technology reproduces video with heightened realism by flashing the plasma panel's pixels 10 times for each frame of TV or movie content. Four HDMI inputs and two HD component video inputs give you multiple options for getting HD video to the full HD 1080p panel. While Clear Voice II technology enhances movie and TV dialogue, an Invisible Speaker system lends this LG plasma panel a more compact, less obtrusive footprint.Minimize
