Panasonic TH-58PX60U 58-Inch Plasma HDTV Review
Panasonic TH-58PX60U 58-Inch Plasma HDTV Review from Joshua Bond Josh@mrbond.com. One of my best purchases ever, This is phenomenal tv. I searched for quite some time, looking also at the Pioneer and Samusung models which are in the 60 to 63 inch range. I found this one to be the clearest, crispest, sharpest, and brightest picture. I went to Circuit City to see it in person, as I hate buying a product site unseen.
I am using a Comcast HDTV cable box with the DVR functionality. The HDTV channels look absolutely amazing, even when standing 1 foot from the set. UNBELIEVABLE. The normal (non-HD channels) also look very good. I noticed that normal channels also appear clearer and crisper than they did on other tv’s. Not sure why that is exactly.
I mounted the tv to the wall, using the Omnimount tiltable wall mount system. As long as you hit studs for all 4 lag bolts, it will hold just fine. I was a bit nervous about mounting 115 pounds on the wall but its held just fine.
I am not a believer in over priced Monster cables. HDMI outputs are a digital signal–either it gets through or doesn’t. It’s not a sliding scale or progressive like an analog signal. I used the Philips HDMI cables from Walmart for $20. The picture is absolutely crisp from the cable box and from the dvd. It looks as good as the display model did in Circuit City, so I can’t see the point of paying $140 for monster cables.
Whatever cable you choose, however, it will look good on this tv! You can’t go wrong with this model!!
