Amazon.com Product Description Enjoy bright, brilliant imagery from high-definition telecasts and your favorite DVD movies with the 50-inch Zenith Z50PX2D EDTV-ready plasma television, which includes built-in high-definition (ATSC) and 181-channel standard broadcast (NTSC) tuners. With the integrated ATSC tuner, you'll be able to receive off-air high definition broadcasts without the need for an external set-top box. The R57W47C also features a digital cable tuner (QAM), which allows for the reception of digital cable signals that are not scrambled. With a gas-plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the Z42PX2DH is less than 4 inches deep, perfect for desk placement (on the supplied stand) or wall mounting (with optional mounting kit). The Z50PX2D's screen offers a 1366 x 768 resolution for an extremely detailed image, as well as a 160-degree viewing angle, 1000 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and stunning 8000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing feature detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth theater-like experience at home. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter analyzes consecutive scanning lines within a field as well as the preceding and following fields. This results in improved detail and color purity, a more stable video image, and nearly eliminating dot crawl and color bleeding. Other video features include color temperature adjustment, aspect ratio adjustment, enhanced noise reduction, and a 60,000-hour screen lifetime. It includes such television features as V-Chip parental controls, sleep timer, custom channel labels, and tri-lingual menus (English, French, Spanish). The 30-watt stereo audio system (two 15-watt speakers) delivers ample sound for sports and movies, and it can also provide SRS TruSurround XT virtual surround sound. It offers the following video and audio connections: - Composite AV (RCA) In: 1 (1 rear, 1 side)
- Composite AV (RCA) Out: 1
- S-Video In: 2 (1 rear, 1 side)
- Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2
- HDMI In: 1
- RF In: 2
- VGA PC input: 1
- Optical Audio Out: 1
- PC sound (1/8"): 1
Tech Talk HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

Defective September 2, 2008 S. Wagner Bought this tv about 2 1/2 years ago and just a few days ago I got the "pop" and black screen. Talked to the Zenith/LG people and they said its out of warranty so can't help. Don't buy this product. Zenith and LG do not back their products past the 1 year warranty.
CLASS ACTION SUIT??? July 28, 2008 mpmcneill (Glen Mills, PA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I also am a victim of this television... Bought it Nov 2005 - I guess we were lucky since it didn't POP until November 2007... got it fixed ($620) then it went again last week (July 2008)... now I see all of these poor reviews and wonder if we should file a class action suit? You pay over $3000 for a TV - it should last longer than two years! Any comments? I'll look into this and post any info I find. mpmcneill

Doan i have an LG 50" plasma, got it from Ultimate Electronic in 06, about 2 hrs ago the famous popping noise that every LG & Zenith customer have been waiting for came to me, now no picture or sometime very dark. plan to call them tomorrow ... ill never buy an LG or Zenith again...
Pathetic! April 26, 2008 D. Shell (TN United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Bought the Zenith Z50PX2D in July of 2006. Tonight the infamous POP occured. After doing a search for what the problem could be, I've realized there are TOO many malfunctions with this product. I called the LG support, tech guy basically said too bad. But was kind enough to offer me phone numbers to service centers which are over 100 miles from my home. No way will I pay to have this thing repaired, as so many others have spent more money only to have it POP again within days or months. Not only is it a disgrace for a company to knowinly manufacture such a defective prodcuct, it is a shame on how many tons of trash this TV is adding to our landfills. If anyone knows of a class action lawsuit has been filed, or knows how to start one, please contact me.
You will need a new one every two years! March 11, 2008 Daniel Romaine (Boston, MA) Bought the 42" version in 2003 - completely dead by 2005. I was convinced into "upgrading" to a 50" in Dec. 2005 - Just died yesterday again... completely without warranty, so far my "early adopter" status with Zenith has cost me about $8,000 - and I have two funky things to throw out that the trash guy doesn't appreciate. JUNK.
