50-Inch Plasma TV Reviews:If you thought that plasma TVs were too expensive, think again. With 42 inch plasmas down well below $500, the 50" plasmas are working their way towards $9000 and lower. The 720p (lower resolution) models are well under $700 and the higher end 1080p HDTV plasma tvs are much closer to $1000 than a year ago. Just a few years ago the highend end models went for $4000. That's an amazing drop in price and with the economic recession that appears here to stay, prices will probably drop even more as the holiday season approaches and we go into 2012. Savvy consumers can pick up huge bargains on plasma screens and you aren't relegated to having to buy the 42 inch models. The new 50" plasma flat panels are great if you have space for them. I bought a Panasonic 50 inch plasma tv 2 years ago that has 720p resolution and I can't say enough about it. Some of our friends went with the Vizio brand which at the time was sold only through Costco and they too are happy with the television performance from the budget brand.

Budget 50 Inch Plasma:Just a while ago 50 inch plasmas were all well over $2000 for those with 1080p technology, but with the LCD TV market taking more and more sales from plasma models, it appears that prices will continue to drop. Consumers are the winners in this category as many manufacturers are literally losing money while producing plasma and LCD screens for homes. We just read that top selling Samsung had a financial loss in their TV sector for the most recent quarters. It could be due to the recession, but overall the margins are slim and selling TV's isn't what it used to be even a decade ago. Budget priced 50 and 58 inch plasma HDTV's are flooding the market and stores are still selling them at a brisk pace. LG and Panasonic sell some very reasonably priced 720p 50 inch screens that rate well with Consumer Reports magazine and other leading electronics websites. Reviews on Amazon.com point towards happy customers even on the cheapest of the plasma televisions. For less than $800 you can get a low end Samsung (50 inches) and still enjoy near perfect tv viewing. We suggest you check out the budget priced plasmas on Amazon.com here.

which is priced right around $1000 and again gives you 1080p HD quality images and colors. Consumers say it offers some of the best performance you can find for the money and Panasonic has good long term reliability rankings with their plasma screens.

The 720p resolution will deliver excellent quality and until cable companies broadcast all there channels in HD, the 720p plasma is a "outstanding option" says one owner. Panasonic is constantly improving their plasma screens and some of the 58 inch models are dropping in price as you read this. See their entire selection of 
is a high end plasma available with superior ratings compared to other brands. We do say this top rated 50 inch plasma screen with 1080p resolution and intense blacks considers some attention but we also favor the other top selling Samsung models. Owners of the latest Samsung plasmas say the picture is "awesome" and many say it's "simply stunning". RECOMMENDED - We suggest looking at the 
which is considered a "great value" in the 50 inch plasma category. Samsung has lagged behind the reviews that Panasonic and Pioneer get, but the Samsung PN50B650 plasma is turning heads with great picture quality and colors. Some owners note that the Samsung 50" plasma is not meant for bright rooms since the glare on the screen can be distracting. Only consider the Samsung if you have a darker theater type room to put it into. The Samsung 50-inch is sold in Best Buy stores but better pricing is available online through Amazon.com.
