Today’s plasma television comes to us from the folks out at Panasonic, who have put together a pretty impressive model with their Panasonic TC-P50U2.

The Panasonic TC-P50U2 is a fifty inch 1080p plasma television that offers a 600Hz Sub-field drive system, Viera Link to let you control all your various devices from one remote, a game mode to reduce blurring in high speed video situations (like those commonly found in gaming), the Viera Image Viewer system, two ten watt speakers with surround sound capability, three HDMI ports, two component inputs, two composite inputs, and one digital audio input.

This one has a surprisingly nice picture; sure, it’s 1080p, but we’ve seen some 1080p pictures that don’t exactly look like they qualify. This one does.  And the sound is pretty nice too, though again, not as good as some. It’s got some augmentation on its ten watt speakers, and that never hurts. Plus, it actually plays a little better with older hardware than newer, thanks to a slightly unusual ratio of HDMI to component / composite slots.

And considering that Amazon wants $881.35 for one of these, which is not half bad at all, really, you’ll end up with a pretty solid value for a fairly decent price.

The Panasonic TC-P50U2, though it won’t be the best television you’ve seen lately, will still be a good quality addition to your home theater system.
