'very attractive price points'

'straightforward design'

'The Panasonic TC-P54S2 is a system that looks pretty good initially, but has some troubling issues to surmount.'

'new one-sheet-of-glass design'

'Weekly Command Timer, dual picture mode, digital zoom, and built-in wall image enlarger'

'native resolution'

'beautiful, natural colors'

'Don't confuse it with the "antireflective" coating applied to the screens of the more-expensive TH-PZ700U and TH-PZ750U series; Panasonic's antiglare coating, if it performs as well on the PZ77s as it did on the PX77s, does the best job of attenuating glare from room lighting of any plasma we've tested yet.'

'smooth, clear, motion images'

'you get a free collection of high definition images to enjoy right away in your home or office.'

'We expect the TH-50PZ700U to perform just as well as the two sizes we did review.'

'the two Panasonic plasma HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 58-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 50-incher will perform.'

'The only catch is that those components must also be EZ Sync compatible.'
