CNET Editors' Take

CNET did not review the Panasonic TH-50PX80U, but we did review the smaller model in the series.
Although CNET did not review the 50-inch Panasonic TH-50PX80U, we did review the 42-inch Panasonic TH-42PX80U. Judging from their specification sheets, the two Panasonic plasma HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size and native resolution; the 42-inch set has a resolution of 1024x768, while the 50-inch set is 1366x768. We doubt this difference will have much of an impact on picture quality, so we expect the review of the 42-inch model to give a good indication of how the 50-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Panasonic TH-42PX80U.
