DTV is being introduced with a 720p HDTV resolution. 1080p resolution is primarily designed for Blu-Ray imaging. If you're looking for a value-conscious widescreen TV display with bright, excellent imaging, the Panasonic Viera TC-P50X1 42-Inch Class Plasma Flat Panel HDTV is an excellent choice. If you prefer TV viewing most of the time, the 50X1 will give you one of the finest pictures HDTV offers. Panasonic's focus in 2009 continues to be on high definition 1080p HDTVs but the VIERA X1 series represent a line of 720p plasma HDTVs which help Panasonic deliver on its promise to satisfy demands for differing HDTV resolution options. The X1 VIERA HDTV offers stunning picture performance with a 600Hz Sub-field Drive that delivers razor-sharp motion focus, VIERA Image Viewer for sharing digital photos with friends and family, and VIERA Link control of all compatible A/V home entertainment components via a single remote. The X1 series also feature improved native contrast ratio of 30,000:1, an Infinite Black panel, and a Game Mode.

No outputs, limited inputs, mediocre picture.May 15, 2010 Stephen Impellizzeri 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I guess the other reviewers on here have never seen a good plasma before. This TV was a total disappointment, NO outputs for sound or anything else, if you have to use an external device such as an amp, headphones, hearing assistance phones etc. don't buy this, you won't have a port to plug it into.
The Picture is terrible compared to the LG and Samsung. Limited picture adjustment parameters compared to other makes/models.
The sound is excellent though, I'll give it that.

I bought this tv to replace a 32 inch panasonic that last over 10 years. This is my first plasma tv Why did I buy this brand and not one of the other several brands in the market? First of all panasonic is known for manufacturing high quality consumer products that you can rely upon to last long time. The second reason with my limited budget I did not want to spend over 1000 bucks for a plasma tv, so far every one in my household is happy with it, Is it going to last as long as my previous tv? that remain to be seen but I am hopeful that it will last a considerable amount of time the reason why I did not give it a five start is because I have had this prouct only for a month or so and havent have the time to watch it in a regular basis. If you have the money to buy the more expensive model by all mean do so because the resolution is higher and the picture quality is better.This is all folks I hope this review will be helpful good luck on your future purchases.

Nice PlasmaApril 11, 2010 Joseph Takahata(Houston, TX USA) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I got this plasma for my parents. I got them a 720p because they don't know much about HD TV. And it'll be a little bit until they get all the 1080p type devices. So 720p will show normal TV better than 1080p would. As a plasma it's a pretty good TV and the features, like the SD card for them to show off pictures from their camera, are nice for them. I think this is a good TV for those looking for a big TV which isn't top of the line. Someone just looking for a big TV that can look pretty nice when an HD signal is put in, or looks pretty good off of just a regular cable box. I like the TV for my parents, but for me I'd need a 1080p so I could play PS3 in all it's glory. For my parents, they just like a big screen TV and how sharp it looks.
