Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Save space and enjoy a wonderfully vivid picture with the stylish, 50-inch Philips 50PF7320A widescreen plasma TV, a great choice for your full-featured entertainment center. It has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner for standard television broadcasts, and you can receive high-definition TV right out of the box with the optional, removable CableCARD, which picks up HD (ATSC) broadcasts from your digital cable provider (digital cable subscription required). This set includes a tabletop stand, but it's also wall-mountable with optional kit (VESA compatible). This plasma TV includes an anti-ageing circuit to help prevent screen burn-in and an anti-reflective coating on the screen.
This set uses Philips' exclusive Pixel Plus video processor to increase the number of lines and the number of pixels. The result is razor sharp pictures with incredible detail and dept, every time from any source.
The 50PF7320A has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 160-degree viewing angle, a 1500 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and a 10000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) Other features include picture-in-picture display (via component and HDMI connections), auto volume leveler, adjustable color temperature and sharpness, sleep timer, and V-Chip parental controls.
The 3D comb filter separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion. It performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl, resulting in a razor sharp image. This set also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.
The Active Control function uniquely and intelligently optimizes picture quality by measuring and analyzing the incoming signal to automatically adjust picture quality settings. Active Control with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the picture brightness depending on the room light conditions.
This TV has two built-in stereo speakers that produce 15 watts per channel (for 30 watts of total power), and can produce Dolby Digital virtual surround sound, emulating a 5.1-channel sound field from just two speakers. It also offers the following connections:
- Composite AV (RCA) In: 3 (1 side)
- S-Video In: 3 (1 side)
- Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2
- HDMI In: 2
- RF In: 1
- PC Audio In: 1
- PC Audio Out: 1
- Monitor Out: 1
- USB: 1
- Headphone: 1
Tech Talk
CableCARD -- The CableCARD system enables the "Plug-and-Play DTV" functionality as agreed between cable operators and consumer electronics manufacturers. It allows the decoding of encrypted or scrambled content delivered from the cable system. CableCARD functionality includes conditional access and copy protection. A CableCARD-enabled television without a CableCARD inserted receives high-definition standard TV broadcasts. When a CableCARD is inserted, the television receives high-value high-definition, cable programming.
HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

What A Great HD TV,
By
This review is from: Philips 50PF7320A 50-Inch Widescreen Plasma HDTV (Electronics)
I have had my Philips 50PF7320A for three weeks now and find it to be outstanding. The color and picture are great and the way it process the non-HD DVD, Cable or over the air is hard to believe, everything looks like HD to me. I did a lot of research on HD TV's before I made this purchase and it payed off big time, $$$ cost is low for what you received. I love this tv so much I a going to have it mounted into my great room wall, its like going to the movie theater, and of course the pop core is free here at home. Everyone that has seen it love it, I would recommend it to anyone look for a good outstanding HD TV. I am not a technician, so this is a end users review.

This review is from: Philips 50PF7320A 50-Inch Widescreen Plasma HDTV (Electronics)
When reading this review you should be aware that I'm a bit of a geek....ok a hardcore geek. I don't know how the average person would handle some of the hookup/setup issues which I found simple and easy.
Have had the tv for all of 10 days but am quite pleased with it. No technical problems at all. Installation was easy; cabling was simple; remote operation is straight-forward. The manual, like most, is pretty paltry, so you have to do a bit of exploring and experimenting to see what all the settings and options are. I've seen reviews where people have complained about the picture quality for "regular" tv channels. It won't..and can't...make a lousy signal into HD. On the flip side, this is so good that I can tell how good the data density is on the dvd's. Yippee! Only things I might change are: 1) adding a black border instead of the all-silver and 2) giving the option to unstretch some of the digital channels into 14:9 or 4:3. But those are whines and not complaints. BTW: I got it for $3.0k, including shipping, from Amazon. Hope you can do as well!

Excellent value for the money,

This review is from: Philips 50PF7320A 50-Inch Widescreen Plasma HDTV (Electronics)
There has been a lot of noise on various forums (AVS Forum specifically) about the picture quality of this set compared to other comparable sets. Either I lucked out or simply the negative assessments of the set are overblown. The HD signal as well as the upconverted DVD (thru HDMI) looks outstanding (OTA works just fine)including deep blacks! Star WarsI,II,III look spectacular, as they are shot digitally. As expected the SD looks average, even poor, but thats a function of a high resolution TV. The downsides are the speakers, they are kind of redundant and somewhat ineffective. Second its heavy (138lbs) and the non intuitive way to put together the stand (it frankly looks cheap)doesnt help things. The set does tend to heat up after 3 hrs of use, probably slightly more than other plasmas. Finally the digital out is coax not optical, a huge bummer for me. That said, plenty of HDMI, and IR connections. So far everyone of them work. The set has several built in (and helpful) modes of looking at widescreen TVs, which is also quite helpful. Overall great TV.
