I have a Panasonic model# TH-50PX50U Plasma TV for sale. I bought this and put it into a guest room. It literally never got used. The internal hour meter shows ZERO hours, it has been on for under 1 hour total! Guest room is now being coverted for other use so the TV doesn't have a home.

I bought this new in April '06 and paid nearly $4k out the door for it, manufacturing date on the TV is January '06, about 8 months left on the warranty.

This TV has all of the latest features, HDMI input, CableCard slot, NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuner, etc... Pansonic is generally regarded as having the best image quality in the consumer sets with the best black levels.

Price is $2,495 and pick-up is at my house in the San Jose, CA area.

** Please note when you price shop on the Web. For some reason the Web is full of complete scams and what boggles my mind is all of the reputable web sites (CNET, ZDNET, Pricegrabber, etc...) have prices listed from these scam operations. There are tons of websites that advertise this model for $2200 - $2500. The problem is NONE of these shops have the TV in stock and when you call them they will take your payment then days later will tell you they can't get it and will try to move you into a different model. You will never be able to get the TV advertised at the $2,200 because they don't exist. So, when you go to any site that shows the TV for this price, just go to Google and enter that websites name and the word 'scam' and see what comes up. **

 

Very good advice. Thanks.

 

I believe this model is being replaced by the TH-50PX60U for 2006.

Still your price is very low. Lowest I could get it for new would be $2880.

 

The differences in generations are often marginal.

Panny makes the best value for the money in plasma. I had an Elite setup next to my new 9th gen commercial unit and the picture was every bit as good after calibrated, if not better on mine.

I just paid 3200 for my 50" commercial unit and it has less inputs then Michael's. Nice TV and a very fair price.

 

Hey Michael...I take trade ins...haha.

 

Yes, you are correct. BUT... The panel used on the 60U is just about identical to the panel on the 50U. Only different being Panasonic claims a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. But, this spec was just changed to compete with Samsung & LG that claims a 10,000:1 contrast ration. As anybody in the know will tell you the contrast ratio claims are totally bogus as there is no baseline standard. Put a 60U up against the 50U and you would never be able to see any difference.

There are 2 downsides to the 60U however. The first is many think the new cabinet design is butt ulgy. The second is that to save money they stripped out features that the 50U has, such as the 60U doesn't even have a CableCard slot!

You cover the shipping on mine and I cover it on yours!

 

hmm...mine's not so light in the box either! You have box?

 

Deliver and install in LA and it's a deal...
Great price.

 

Michael I love the Samsung DLP.. i jsut bought new boxes and cables..LOL

I need a plasma for my masters..oh no...

 

Have had 4 Panny's amd they are all great...Michael is correct on the web price scam story.

 

Michael, you have PM.

 

No box. I have 8 plasma's in my house and I throw out all the boxes because they take up so much space. I do have a hardcase, though, that I can use to ship with if need be.

 

Alex,

Just let me know! I will be selling off a few of my other plasma's soon, not sure which I want to get rid of right now.

Glad to hear you love the DLP, I was sad to see that TV go.
