Panasonic TH-50PX80U Plasma TV - New!

The Panasonic TH-50PX80U delivers amazing bang for the buck. A few years ago when plasma HDTVs cost $5000 or more, did you ever think you'd see a high-quality model priced this low? Panasonic can do it because they're among the handful of companies that actually manufacture plasma panels — and they build more of them than anyone else in the world.

For a lifelike picture, it's hard to beat plasma
Video experts know that a TV's picture contrast — measured by the contrast ratio — is as important for overall picture quality as screen resolution. Panasonic's 11th-generation panel technology raises the contrast ratio to 15,000:1. That means you'll see deeper blacks and more realistic shadow detail.

Panasonic plasmas are also known for their rich, realistic color. The TH-50PX80U can reproduce over 4,000 shades of gradation each for red, green, and blue. That yields a nearly infinite color palette of over 68 billion shades. Images look seamlessly smooth and cinematic, with beautifully natural skin tones.

All the right connections for great HD viewing
The TH-50PX80U can receive local over-the-air analog and digital signals (antenna required). And cable subscribers can tune in unscrambled channels — including local HD network channels in many areas — without the added hassle and expense of a set-top box. For 2008, Panasonic has added a third HDMI input, making it easy to connect top-notch sources like a Blu-ray player, HD satellite receiver, or high-def video game console.

[Hide Details] VAC Extended Warranty Plans Our Plasma TV Extended Warranty plans cover all mechanical and electrical defects, even normal "wear and tear," and takes effect immediately when the manufacturer's warranty expires. VAC Service Corp will repair or replace your plasma TV with a comparable new unit, and offers 24-hour, 7-days-a-week customer service. Who is VAC Service Corporation? One of the largest service plan underwriters in the nation, VAC administers warranty and extended service programs for some of the largest companies in North America (American Express, Business Depot and JC Penney to name a few). VAC recently celebrated their 25th year in business, and with more than 25 million service plans currently in place, and over 70,000 authorized service centers throughout the United States and Canada, you can count on the VAC name. Features & Benefits of VAC Service Plans NATIONAL VAC Service plans are available in all 50 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico for the convenience of consumers everywhere. Consumers also benefit from VAC's vast network of more than 70,000 authorized service centers. UNDERWRITTEN VAC Service is fully insured and each dealer is issued their own policy, fully protecting the dealer and consumer from any financial loss on service plans--even if VAC Service goes out of business. NON-CANCELLABLE VAC Service cannot cancel a service agreement or plan at any time, protecting consumers who purchase plans in good faith for the specified term of coverage, and the dealer who has sold that plan in good faith to their customer. NO BUY-OUT CLAUSE At DTV City, we've entered a special agreement with VAC to ensure that your plasma TV will be replaced or repaired, no ifs, ands, or buts. Other warranty providers may "buy out" your contract on a pro-rated basis--and you lose money in the deal. At DTV City, you can rest assured that you'll get what you paid for. GUARANTEED RENEWABLE Consumers are guaranteed the right to re-new their service plans for 12-month coverage periods for as long as they wish to re-new them, allowing the customer to decide when they wish to stop covering a product and perhaps purchase a new one. For the dealer, this presents an opportunity to sell their customer a new product when the old product is obsolete or superseded in the marketplace by superior new equipment, and represents a fresh profit opportunity. NO EXCLUSIONS There are no exceptions or exclusions when it comes to parts. All parts are covered, making a VAC Service plan better than the manufacturer's warranty. Your service plan even pays for "nuisance" calls. Customers save money while obtaining more comprehensive coverage. NO DEDUCTIBLES Your VAC Service plan covers the full cost of repairing your covered product-100% parts and labor coverage, giving consumers the peace of mind and comfort of knowing that should their product require repair there is no cost to them at all, ever, for as long as coverage exists. NO CEILING There is no ceiling on trip charges for in-home service, again saving customers money if they happen to live a longer-than-usual distance from a repair center. [Hide Details]

[Hide Details] It's A Fact: "Dirty" AC Power Can Ruin Your Home Theater Sound & Picture Audiophiles have known for years that the power coming through the AC line is full of interference and line disturbances that degrade audio reproduction. Dirty power is also caused by radiated high frequency signals, such as those coming from broadcast stations, or even your own video and digital components. You only have to see the interference from a motor or hairdryer to see and hear its effects. With today's digital circuitry and especially with digital video, polluted AC power can cause poor quality sound and picture . The detrimental effects of dirty power cannot be removed by ordinary surge protectors.
