Best in class UPDATE:
I have now used this for several months. This TV is outstanding.
* The picture quality is excellent.
* Generates only modest heat.
* Generates no noise I've been able to detect.
* Glare/reflection is less than my old, non-plasma TV.
The only downside is that the manual is pretty hazy on some important topics: I can't figure out if there are screen-saver tools, so I'm still concerned about burn-in.
That notwithstanding, I'm happier ...

Gorgeous Plasma Monitor The Panasonic TH-50PH9UK is the darling of knowledgeable A/V enthusiasts on a budget. Well reviewed by everyone from CNET to Audioholics, the 50PH9UK might be the most cost-effective way to put an incredible 50-inch plasma display in your entertainment system.
You should know that this is a monitor and not a TV. For many, that is a positive, not a negative. It has no built in tuner. Nor does it sport built-in speakers, enabling Panasonic to dress the display in an elegant, minimalis...

Fantastic plasma...but it's not for everyone I am really happy with this purchase. Here are the reasons:
PROS:
- Reasonable price for a 50" plasma. Great value.
- Great picture quality/color/detail (see caveat below)
- Appealing enclosure. Simple, clean. (This was big for me. I find that plasma case designs tend to draw too much attention to themselves. This TV has a slim dark grey, almost black frame. I like it since the plasma is dominated by the image and not by the unit itself. Also, a 50" TV is not a sma...

A Great Buy
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!

Excellent Product After much research, I finally bought a Plasma. This Screen is great. I have a 55" 1080i CRT Projection in another room and this plasma display is just as good. It was a easy hookup and the picture is excellent.

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...

Panasonic TH-50PH9UK - 50" Professional Serie Great performance but disappointed that it does not have an HDMI cable input plug and have to use the three component RCA plugs instead, other then that nice TV.

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.

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...
