- Use as a Monitor
I bought this a number of years ago, as i was running PAL and NTSC sources at the same time. I did not have the optional speakers with this so cannot comment on the sound. The picture however is as you would expect from a Panasonic display - exceptionally accurate and very close to real life out of the box. I added a HDMI blade in the free slot and fund that this was as easy to use as the other inputs.

Overall this monitor worked as well with my PAL sources as it did with NTSC and picture quality is very good. These days the latest Panasonic and Samsung displays appear to have the best pictures and in particular upscaling from non-HD sources is noticably better than with this panel.

If you are looking for a multi-region panel and want accurate picture and color (as opposed to the overly bright store displays) look no further than any panel in this series from Panasonic. They can be put together in a matrix of up to 16 panels with the addition of special blades and a controller also if needed.

- Over a year running with this product, never a regret
I purchased this product over a year ago. I have never regretted it. For those that use a cable box as their TV tuner and run their audio through an audio tuner, this is the way to go HD. For the same price and same amount of space as a 42 inch plasma television, I was able to buy and install this 50 inch plasma monitor. My only caveat: you should also buy either a HDMI or a DVI blade (sold separately) at the time of purchase. If you have more than one HDMI source you may want to buy 2 HDMI blades or a switching system. Another piece of advice is my set shipped with BNC (British Naval Connectors) for the component inputs. These can be converted to the more common RCA inputs with converters that sell for about a dollar each at an electronics store. Have a friend help you install the TV, it is heavy! That being said the installation and set up is pretty straightforward.

The set itself is wonderful. Overall appearance is very clean. It almost disappears when it is off. Many visitors have walked past it and asked where our television is. The viewing angle is very good, and we have had no issues with glare. There is a screen saver option that will create random small white squares to prevent burn in, surprisingly not distracting. It also has a display mode that minimizes distortion to the center of the screen when the picture is stretched and will crop out tickers that run across the bottom of the screen to further prevent burn in. After a year I have not been able to find a hint of burn in.

The picture is beautiful. The blacks are very dark, colors are bright. It is able to produce a brilliant red with no bleeding. Both SD and HD look great. Overall this is a great set. If it somehow became damaged, I would replace it with the same model.

- Great monitor
I won't add to what's already been said about a great display. However, I would simply warn anyone that the HDMI board sold separately for this display only supports up to 1080i. If you are using a 1080p source, use the DVI input.

- HDTV and a budget
Like many people, I have invested heavily in an excellent Home Theater sound system that is tied into a Yamaha receiver. My input sources are Satellite and Standard DVD (for now). As you can see, I had no reason to purchase the extras of a speaker and tuner on the TV. With this Panasonic, I spent about 100 extra dollars to invest in an HDMI input module and was up and running. The unit mounts clean on the wall with only two slim cords showing (power and HDMI). The picture is outstanding and appears to be as good as any 1080p sets I have seen. I was not concerned that it didn't accept 1080p since the present inputs I have max out at 1080i and it appears that will be the situation for some time (especially as far as the satellite service is concerned) If the same set had been available in 58 inch at the time I bought, I probably would have gone for that but for now...I am absolutly delighted with the quality.

- A Great Buy
Panasonic TH-50PH9UK 50" Plasma Display

I am very happy with the product, price, transaction, and delivery (the monitor was delivered BEFORE the estimated delivery date). The picture quality is excellent and the monitor looks great in my home. If I had to make the purchase again, I would do it just the same. Thank you!
