CNET editors' take

Reviewed by:

Reviewed on: 08/16/2006

Quick Take: The Panasonic TH-PX600U series consists of three plasma TVs: the 58-inch TH-58PX600U, the 50-inch TH-50PX600U, and the 42-inch TH-42PX600U. We have not reviewed these sets, but we have reviewed the Panasonic TH-42PX60U and feel it should be a good indicator of the TH-PX600U series' picture quality. In terms of features, every model in the TH-PX600U series is virtually identical, with a jack pack highlighted by two HDMI inputs, three component inputs, and a VGA-style PC input. They also all have an integrated HDTV tuner and a CableCard slot, which means you can receive over-the-air HDTV and digital cable without an external set-top box.

Summary: Inevitably, the 65PX600 delivers its very best pictures with high definition sources, but the V-Real system's talents also make it far more agreeable with standard definition than you might expect such a large screen to be
