I did research before buying and could not be happier. This TV has great picture quality and was a great value. I was worried about the shipping and possible damage. They called to arrange the delivery and there was no problem. The box was in pristine condition.
I struggled deciding between a 42-inch 1080p and 50-inch 720p. In the end, I decided that size matters more. I believe I made the right choice.
I run Direct TV HD in on a HDMI input and it looks fantastic.
The only possible con is that it only has one rear RCA video input. I wish it had one more. Not really a con, just be aware of what inputs you will need.

Panasonic Viera TH-50PX80U 50-Inch 720p
I can not imagine a better picture than the one we are getting with the HD.
Assembly was easy but you do need two people.
Remote control is very intuitive. Hooked it originally for one week with standard Direct TV and was pleased but when the HD Satellite from Direct TV was installed I was totally blown away. Purchased for $800 from local retailer as substitute for set that was on sale but he was out of.

If you're looking for a 50 inch TV, don't let the 720p display scare you away from this TV. The picture is superb; great blacks and realistic fleshtones and other colors. There are lots of theoretical arguments for buying a 1080p and certainly the 1080p difference gains importance once you exceed the 50 inch threshold. But with TVs 50 inches and smaller, it's my belief that you won't see the difference between 1080 and 720, all else being equal.
I've only noticed one shortcoming: there are only two HDMI and only one composite video hookups on the back of the TV so if you have more than two HDMI accessories or more than one accessory with composite hookups (Wii and a VHS deck), you'll need to hook something up through the front. This is accomplished by dropping open a door which is rather unslightly. This won't be an issue for those who have a surround sound setup because they can then run everything through the receiver.
I recommend this TV to anyone who's looking for a TV this

This TV is just great! The picture quality is superb, and the setup was extremely easy. I love the fact that it has a slot that reads SD cards. We can just take the SD card from our digital camera and watch the pictures on the big screen.

I recently upgraded from a 27" Panasonic tube TV to this 50" 720p plasma screen TV. Wow! What an amazing piece of electronics!!!
I opted for the 720p instead of a 1080p unit for the following reasons:
1) I have a large collection of DVDs, and the main use for this screen will is for watching movies.
2) Since my collection is not hi-def, there was little reason to pay the nearly $1000 more for additional pixels/inch that I will not use.
3) The price dropped significantly on this unit in the weeks before Christmas, thus making it an even better buy!
4) You can see the picture clearly from nearly every angle - and that's important for my family since my wife often prefers to watch while she stands by the fireplace, and that vantage point gives her about a 75 degree angle of view - and it even looks great from there!
I had never owned a big-screen TV before, so I didn't really know what a difference the screen size and quality makes when watching anything. Even my wife, who watches movies
