Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The slim-body PT-50LC13 liquid-crystal projection TV offers a perfectly flat, 50-inch display in a widescreen (16:9) dimension that's perfect for viewing DVDs in their native aspect ratios. The high-definition-ready set is equipped with a total of 13 different inputs, including four component-video inputs, a DVI digital video input for a direct digital connection with a DTV set-top box, and two PC inputs (capable of VGA, SVGA, or compressed XGA resolution). A handy PCMCIA/SD Memory Card slot lets you hook up your computer for viewing a digital photo slide show.

The set offers a native resolution of 1,280 x 720 alongside high, 400 cd/m2 brightness ensures vivid, exacting images from DVD players and other devices. What's more, Panasonic's Progressive Scan Doubler will upconvert standard interlaced (nonprogressive) broadcast and auxiliary signals to flicker-free, 480p resolution.

The PT-50LCL13 is considerably less bulky than most rear-projection televisions and consumes less energy. Further, LCD displays don't suffer from misconvergence or flicker, like their CRT counterparts. The Panasonic multimedia display incorporates thin-film transistor (TFT) technology, also known as active matrix, to improve color reproduction, eliminate ghosting, and boost response speed. TFT technology also helps achieve an extraordinary brightness level of 700 to 800 cd/m2.

Two-tuner picture-in-picture with split-screen display lets you view two programs at once by dividing the screen in half down the middle. Each program is shown at full height, with one program on the left side and the other on the right. Eight-bit PIP image processing provides 256 levels of gray from black to white in the inset picture for finer image detail.

Movie sources get their due with Panasonic's 3:2 pulldown feature, Progressive Cinema Scan. This enhancement compensates for motion artifacts that sometimes result from the telecine process that's used to convert film's 24-frames-per-second to an NTSC-friendly 60 frames per second. Other picture-enhancing features include horizontal and vertical edge correction and a motion-adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter, which eliminates "hanging dots" and color rainbow effects in closely spaced patterns.

5 out of 5 stars I'm very pleased with my unit - Highly recommend it!.......2007-05-25

I bought this TV in June 2004. I have only replaced the bulb once, which was expected for the amount of TV that we watch. My unit has been working flawlessly. I did an extensive research before deciding to buy this TV. Getting the Panasonic PT50LC13 was a wise decision. I highly recommended. I bought the extended 5-year warranty for peace of mind. It even covered the bulb replacement - it was rushed next-day air to me.

5 out of 5 stars Had the TV since 2003 and only recently replaced the bulb .......2007-03-09

We have had our set since 2003 and only recently, feb 07, replaced the lamp bulb. Panasonic told us the bulb is still under warranty even though we don't have an extended service contract, so even that replacement bulb was free. Now we have a new bulb and the same great picture.
I really like this TV and have had good service from it. The quality of the picture is excellent for both normal over-the-air analog signals and high definition digital satellite signals.
We have used it with all manner of peripheral devices, including a PC; there are plenty of inputs.
Even though the price has dropped significantly over the last 4 years, we have gotten our monies worth. I like all the different tuning options such as Video 1, Component 1, Component 2, RGB 1 and RGB 2, and so on. Each tuning option contains a different device and it's easy to switch from one to another with just a button click.

5 out of 5 stars Great Buy.......2007-01-09

I have had this TV for two years and I love it. It has all the inputs could ever want, plus you can plug in your memory car from your digital camera and look at your pics.

1 out of 5 stars bulbs don't last.......2007-01-04

The television set / monitor is great, but the bulb life is awful. I fortunatly purchased mine with a mastercard, and was able to double the warrenty on the television and the bulbs that I purchased (at $300 a pop). Even still, viewing TV can get really expensive in a hurry when you are blowing 2 per year. Eventually, after 7 bulbs, another componant died, and I realized that for the price of a couple bulbs I could get a big plasma and save all sorts of money. Was a very happy day when I ditched the set at the dump. Don't buy the set, it will suck you dry!

1 out of 5 stars Do not buy........2006-12-27

After several bulb replacements we're ditching this piece of junk. When it works it's amazing but there's the catch. Panasonic shouldn't be selling this shoddy work.
