No matter what decision you make, getting that new TV for the home is going to cost a fair amount of cash and therefore a great deal of care has to be taken when reaching the decision to find which one to buy. When you are spending the equivalent of what you used to spend taking the entire family on holiday several years ago it would be wise to ensure any decision made is a wise one.

Ensuring that any purchase you make is to all intent and purposes future-proof has to be the most major of all criteria when deciding which TV to buy.

Television over the years has taken a great number of forms from the old days of analogue Black and White, through the launch of colour television to the latest technologies known as Digital Television (DTT). With DTT, viewers are limited to whatever channels the antenna picks up. Signal quality will also vary.

With this article the aim is to take a look at what is on offer with the latest generation of Flat Screen Televisions and in this case the Panasonic TH-50PX600.

The TH-50PX600 is a 50in Plasma TV and these TV’s at present can be found in the region of 2600 pounds sterling or 5200 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The Panasonic has 3 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the TH-50PX600 uses is HDMI and 2. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the Panasonic is available from a wide variety of outlets.

So how would we rate the Panasonic TH-50PX600?

The most obvious place to start with as far as TV’s are concerned would be the picture quality and our score here would be 10, and for the sound quality we would rate it at 10. With regards to the availability and number of relevant connections, our score would be 10. As far as overall features are concerned we would give it 108 if we then take a look at the ease of use and overall value for money then our scores would be, 8 and 8 respectively.

Taking everything into consideration our overall view of the package would be One of the best we have seen. This Plasma TV is, as one critic described “one if the best I have ever seen” and the overall combination of terrific pictures, amazing sounds and for it all, a great price makes this combination very hard to beat, if not impossible.

With the wide range and variety of makes and models available for you to choose from it is unlikely that you will not find something to suite your taste or satisfy any budgetary constraints that you might have. The choice, as they say, is completely down to you to decide whether to stay at the forefront of what are rapidly changing technologies and fashion or to remain part of the safer but perhaps better developed mainstream. Either way we hope that by reading this short article you should have a slightly more informed view of the options available to you
