Plasma TV Review

SHARP PZ-50HV2U PLASMA TV

This elegant 50″ plasma TV is a flat-panel television with extraordinary HDTV- compatible picture. When you open the box, you can find plasma flat panel display, media receiver, a pair of side mount speaker and a table top stand. There is also a 10 meter cable to connect the AVC system to the panel if the customer wants to customize the installation.

With an aspect ratio of 16:9, resolution is measured to be 1280×768. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter produces the best picture quality even in the bright light which is complimented by 2,949,120 pixels in the TV. It is conscious over the power used and the TV is designed to keep the consumption to sensible limits. The skin tones become perfect customizing the sharpness, color saturation and the noise filter. Even the trickiest camera pan is displayed perfectly in 576i format signals. The picture quality’s weakness was observed when watching dark scenes. The picture becomes blur in spite of having 100-hertz technology and it also displays a poor motion clarity and meager tuner.

The sound quality of this model is not up to the mark. The built-in speaker is poorly designed as it sounds awful that even sonorous and blessed-style voices sound coarse. The backlight levels produce buzzing sound which makes it a horrible experience to enjoy the sound. 12W+12W amplifier with SRS and FOCUS surround system makes the sound clarity tries to meet the audio expectations.

Two built-in cable TV tuners provide the ability to watch two TV programs side-by-side. There are display modes such as full, zoom, cinema and wide. Computers can be connected to this TV to view the PC images in 50” display. The remote control may not look attractive but has simple options which will be very easy for the users. For most of the functions, there are direct buttons for the immediate operations but the drawback is with the lack of separate settings for the different AV inputs.

So this model is worth buying, but has to connect to an external speaker system if you wish to have theatre effects while watching movies.
