Strengths: Good styling, very good display, affordable price tag ( very important)

Weaknesses: Just not a Sony

As more and more people opt for large screen full HD plasma televisions, we can see the competition heating up between the likes of Sony Bravia and Panasonic Viera. Though Sony Bravia wins hands down in this category, the price tag of the Bravia sends many users looking for options and it is at that moment we hit on the perfect alternative better known as the Viera from Panasonic. The size is perfect for a large living area and some users firmly believe that the Viera TH 50PZ800A is a better buy than Sony!

The performance factor is definitely good with the televisions and one can see that the plasma television is managing to keep you engrossed even at this size. With a more affordable price tag and a Japanese brand name, the Panasonic Viera takes the Sony Bravia head-on and even manages to confront the likes of Samsung and Pioneer in the bargain. There are no complaints about the looks of this television and it really helps to know that the resolution is one of the best in the industry. The Viera is also low on power consumption and though that does not mean much to many users, it is a good-to-have feature!

As mentioned earlier, the Viera continues to entice users with a very attractive price tag and it is no surprise that this television has become widely popular. The television also has some good built in features and over time you are likely to appreciate add-ons like the Dynamic Picture mode which makes the images as good as real! There is really nothing more to add about the Viera, if you shopping for a 50 inch plasma and not willing to splurge on a Bravia, opt for the Viera!
