Sony FWD-50PX1 50 in. Plasma TV

Pros: Exceptional image display capability.
Cons: Input access can be tight once wall mounted.

I replaced a 30 inch Sony XBR flat panel LCD WEGA TV with this 50 inch Sony FWD-PX1 flat plasma monitor, so I've had the advantage of comparing them closely. The XBR is still in service in the kids' rec room. The XBR's WEGA engine optimizes all video ...

Pros: Beautiful picture, clear easy to follow programing, simple operation.
Cons: Tricky to wire when wall mounted. Uses commercial cable connections instead of residential type.

I have been overwhelmed by the quality of the picture of my Sony FWD-50PX1. The stereo sound provided by the Sony speakers purchased seprately is first class also. I wall mounted my unit and struggled somewhat with the actual installation only because this was my first time around. If I were to do it again I could finish in a fraction of the time. Keep in mind this is a commercial unit and does not have all the user friendly feature you find in the residential Sony units. I wanted a BIG, BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY and this unit delivers.

Pros: great performance
Cons: NOT a TV, itīs a MONITOR

You have to be aware that there are two different FWD-50PX1, the one that just say this number and the one with a slash/B, this one is a TV, the other one is just a monitor, both are great, but one does not come with speakers and itīs more a monitor than a TV, although has a S-V connection you have to buy speakers and you simply cannot plug the antenna and watch TV, you need cable.
As a monitor it works very good, the image is great, the colors excellent.
