Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This 60-inch plasma HDTV monitor uses groundbreaking display technology to deliver superior image clarity, color, and brightness in large-format television that's less than 4 inches thick. Its 1,280 x 720p resolution produces extremely detailed imagery, and its super-sharp (550:1) contrast ratio delivers rich colors and deep blacks. High brightness (500 cd/m2) gives you an incredibly bright picture, even in well-lit areas.

Aspect Ratio Correction intelligently resizes video and computer images to 16:9 widescreen or 4:3 conventional formats, while Zenith's Intelligent Image Scaling uses a Faroudja/Sage scan converter to seamlessly convert TV video data to PC formats without distortion or cropping of images (in either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio).

RS-232 controls and NTSC, HD, VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA inputs makes the unit compatible with DVD players, VCRs, computers, digital broadcasting, multimedia, and traditional video sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Actually OWN one, unlike the previous reviewers, May 5, 2005

This review is from: Zenith P60W26P 60-Inch Plasma Flat-Panel HDTV (Electronics)

This TV is Big! The picture is fantastic, I read and reviewed hundreds of Plasma's before purchasing this television. I considered purchasing a DLP, LCD, even a front progection system. When it came down to it, this plasma kicked all of them out. The picture was better than all of them. No matter the brand this plasma was the best picture. Some complained to me about the 25,000 hour limit on the screen UNTIL I told them. 25,000 MEANS watching TV 4 hours a day...the TV would last 17.12 years. In 10 years every tv will be obsolete.
[...]
Again, this review is for the TV. The TV is fantastic, everyone who comes over says, "Wow!" or "Blank (fill in the blank), that's nice."
I have no problems with the TV, it looks nice and runs great. What more can you want?
I posted this review because of all the research I did looking for a plasma only to find stupid reviews from idiots that had never seen or owned one, only fools that had seen the picture and said, "that looks nice."
Hope this helps someone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome TV! Great Price!, November 30, 2011

This review is from: Zenith P60W26P 60-Inch Plasma Flat-Panel HDTV (Electronics)

We have had an aweful time trying to find the right tv for 2 weeks. Buying and returning tv's. Deciding on 3D or no 3D. We knew we wanted a plasma no matter what, but we were looking at 51' samsungs and panasonics plasma. Too much for the size and you had to spend so much more to get te 3D glasses,the 3D Active DVD player,etc..it was just coming out to be too much and the worst of it all was that you couldn't get everything you need in one place right there. You had to have it ordered and wait to get it to see if it worked all together. We had decided no 3D, and just plasma. So it was down to Samsung 51' and the panasonic viera. Then We walked upon the Zenith 60'. And we saw the picture. How the Blacks were true blacks. That was it. For the price of a tv this size, I know we will never regret this buy. I knew about Zenith since I was younger and we had one at home that worked great. I just never thought about Zenith since everyone is only looking for brands like sony, samsung,panasoci, etc, but this zenith is just as good if not better. Once you set it the way you like it is awesome and HUGE!..any setting looks good. YOu won't regret buying it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Picture in a Big Set, March 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Zenith P60W26P 60-Inch Plasma Flat-Panel HDTV (Electronics)

I've seen this monitor on display at a retail outlet and wish I could afford to buy one. The picture is bright, crisp, detailed. Colors are vivid. It's presence is rivaled only by the Toshiba 50HP82 and the Panasonic TH-50PHD5UY, both 50" screens. The Zenith has PIP (like the Toshiba), many other plasma sets do not. You need an external tuner, like the Sony SAT-HD200 (if you have Directv) and speakers are extra. If you have no budget and you really need 60", the Zenith is the one. Make sure you search online retailers for the best price.
