Panasonic Viera TC-P50VT25 is considered so far to be the best 3D plasma TV model to be released in 2010, and it is not only its 3D capability that catches the eye of the consumer in search of novelty. The image quality is out of this world, and word has it that buying the Kuro technology from its former master, Pioneer, has something to do with Panasonic Viera TC-P50VT25’s excellent performance in this respect. While it lacks the 2D to 3D conversion capabilities seen on models like Samsung PN50C8000, this is not a big loss, since this particular plasma’s performance is really great in both 2D and 3D.

The C8000 series from Samsung is meant to be the flagship of the company for 2010’s plasmas, which basically means that Samsung PN50C8000, the smallest of the series, comes equipped with all the goodies the manufacturer invested in to impress consumers. The model is 3D enabled – as the competition for 3D TV is going strong among plasma and LCD TV manufacturers – and this is not all.

Although it is not 3D ready, like its more expensive brothers, TC-P50VT25 and TC-P50VT20, Panasonic Viera TC-P50G25 has a lot of perks. If you do not mind not being able to watch just yet the scarce 3D HDTV content that it is out there, then this Panasonic plasma is among the best HDTVs money can buy in 2010. An improved type of panel, NeoPDP Infinite Black, is guaranteed to make the performance better, especially in the black levels area.

A tad lower on the performance scale, if compared with its more expensive brother Samsung PN50C8000, Samsung PN50C7000 has about everything one would expect from a model that aims to score among the best plasma TV models released in 2010. Besides being 3D capable, the model also delivers excellent 2D image quality, which is not to be taken lightly since 3D content is actually quite scarce and it cannot really count for making or breaking consumers’ choices in new HDTVs.

For those consumers that are looking to purchase a fairly priced product that does deliver as promised, without having them breaking the bank, Panasonic Viera TC-P50S2 may be just the next best thing. Showing that improving the last year technology is something totally in their powers, the manufacturers decided to make this model, as well as the others in the same series, a great combination of more than decent picture quality with the no frills type of attitude, under a not so boastful design.

LG is one of the HDTV manufacturers aiming at creating products for all ranges of quality and prices. LG Infinia 50PK750 is only one step lower than its brother from the other Infinia series, LG Infinia 50PK950, but the TruBlack filter already cannot be found on it, which means a decrease in picture quality, as well. On the other hand, this 50 inch plasma TV has solid entertainment options, and, even if there are certain issues concerning image performance, for the price, LG Infinia 50PK750 can be quite a good deal.

When it comes to resolutions, one might get a bit confused from all the numbers and specifications. In this guide I will explain the differences in 1080p vs 1080i. Many plasma TVs as well as other types of HDTV have their screens rated as having a native resolution of 1080p and/or supporting 1080p and 1080i resolution. There is a difference between native and supported resolution and I will explain this focusing especially on 1080p vs 1080i. I will also explain the only visible difference to the viewer when it comes to 1080p vs 1080i and tell you when and how much it matters.

Is 1080p worth the extra money? Do I miss something if I buy a plasma TV that is just 720p? What are the differences between 720p vs 1080p and which one is better for me? I will answer these questions in this guide and more than just telling you what are the differences between 720p and 1080p I will actually show you so you see with your own eyes. This is a guide where the expression “an image is worth a thousand words” applies perfectly.

In this guide I am going to explain to you what the resolution is, the various resolutions found in TVs and HDTVs, as well as the difference between them. I will also describe in detail why buying a HDTV with the highest resolution (1080p) might not give you an advantage over one that has a lower resolution (720p). When you finish reading this guide, you will have enough knowledge about this matter to avoid some serious mistakes that sales people and marketers want you to make. So let’s get started, shall we?
