Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's PT-50LC14 practically writes the book on home-theater excitement. This high-definition liquid-crystal projection TV offers a perfectly flat, 50-inch display in a widescreen (16:9) dimension that's perfect for viewing DVDs and DTV movies in their native aspect ratios. The set is equipped with a total of 13 separate inputs, including 4 component-video inputs, a HDMI digital video input for a direct-digital connection with a DTV set-top box, and 2 PC inputs capable of VGA, SVGA, or compressed XGA resolution (1 rear, 1 front). 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 (non-progressive) broadcast and auxiliary signals to flicker-free, 480p resolution.

The PT-50LC14 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.

Two-tuner picture-in-picture with split-screen display lets you view 2 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.

Movie sources get their due with Panasonic's 3:2 pulldown reversal 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.

The set's 2-way stereo speakers are powered by 15 watts per channel, and BBE ViVA HD3D Sound makes sure every program sounds its fullest and liveliest.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link the set with any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver). HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

8GB USB 2.0 Maxfile Attache often become corrupt and unusable.......2006-10-02

I recently purchased PNY's 8GB USB 2.0 Maxfile Attache drive and was very disappointed. I would strongly not recommend purchasing it!

Large files placed on the drive often become corrupt and unusable. This leaves you not to trust using the device to store your data.

When I contacting PNY for a warranty return I found the process not consumer friendly. Customer service was horrible and I had to go through several hoops just to get my item returned. I must have had it for 45 days before noticing the issues.

When I sent the item back to them they immediately returned to me, stating there wasn't a receipt included with the drive. I resent the item with another copy of receipt and sent it certified. This upset me since I ended up paying postage twice.

When I did finally get a replacement drive they never returned my original receipt.

I am responsible for technology purchases (such as USB Flash drives) at work... I will no longer purchase devices from PNY because of this poor experience.

Seems to have a File Size Limitation.......2006-09-02

I had mixed results using the PNY Attache 8Gb. Works great as long as files are less than about 100Mb. Large files greater than 100Mb become corrupted for some unknown reason. PNY tech support is not very helpful and down right unbusiness-like as they refuse to answer my emails regarding this apprarent limitation.

This was my second purchase of a flash drive, my first being a one gigabyte drive that has worked well and consistently. In contrast the Maxfile Attache was very inconsistent in its operation on both my home and work computers. At times it appeared to operate as expected and at other times would totally fail. Consequently, I sent it back and will wait until a product has demonstrated good reliability before buying a larger flash drive.
