Reviews excerpts from current owners:
Great 2D, 2.5D, and 3D performance for a nice price… by Critter FL
Been in the market for a new Master Bedroom HDTV since our 30″ HD CRT broke (yay!). Been following this model (PN50C490) since it was announced recently. I found a great deal at a local B&M store the week this was released (2 free pair of 3D glasses included) for the same price as elsewhere. I’ve been watching this plasma for over a week, and just love it!
Fabulous 3D – Great Price! by Dee Q
We upgraded from a 48″ rear-projection TV that was about 8 yrs old to this plasma model. We checked reviews elsewhere on this model, and figured we’d give it a try. The price difference between this model with 3D and a similar model without the 3D was about $200, and we wondered if the feature would be worth it. We purchased from a big-box store with a good return policy so we could try it out. Our only concerns were that the 3D capability might be a bit gimicky and the novelty would wear off; and that this model is only 720p; not 1080 like most newer models. Well, we really had nothing to worry about with this TV. There is no ghosting while watching action onscreen, like some LED/LCD models we’d looked at.
