HP PL5060N 50-Inch Plasma HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned this model for about six weeks now. It's my first large screen TV purchase but I researched pretty thoroughly beforehand.
Pros:
1. Beautiful picture both in HD and regular signal. DVD's and even VHS tapes look good as well
2. Very competitive price. Most 50" plasmas are at least $800 more.
3. Plenty of inputs and outputs. Multiple inputs for component and composite devices plus a VGA port for PC's.
Cons:
1. Draws a lot of power. It's 450 watts but that's in line with other similar plasmas.
2. Has only a HDMI input for digital whereas many devices such as PC's and cable boxes have DVI. Requires a pricey conversion cable to use. Luckily, I think the component connection looks as good as the HDMI one.
3. Controls and menus could be more efficient. Common commands like input selection require arrowing through menus instead of just scrolling through using a single button like most TV's.
So far so good though.
