"Best 50" plasma available"
Pros: Strong contrast, Great HDTV picture
Cons: None that I have seen so far
Summary: With a 15000 to 1 contrast ratio and a surperb HDTV picture this is my 50" of choice. I spent months comparing sets, both online and in store to replace my Panasonic LCD rear projection. I needed something that would do 1080p for my blu ray dvd player.
So one day I walked into my local Circuit City where you can see most of the wall mounted TV's from the front door. One set stood out like a sore thumb. The picture jumped out at me and made the rest of the look mediocre.
At the time they did not have the tag on the set so I assumed it was the 5084 model. I spent nearly an hour comparing sets, changing channels, etc. This set still stood out over my other choices; Aquos 52", Panny 50", Hitachi 50" and basically every other set there.
I did not buy as I went to 5 other stores over the next several weeks and ever store that had this set impressed me the same way. The picture just stood out.
Turns out the one in CC was the 5054 and with rebates and discounts only cost me $1500 (I know I could have gotten it cheaper online)
This set also makes the standard def channels look good with my Panny could not.
I am totally satisfied and pleased with this set.
