Description: The Pioneer PDP 507CMX is a 50-inch, plasma television.Compared to other plasma TVs on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $1,775.In general, a liquid plasma display can output more realistic black-levels than an LCD display can.

Pros: Only has 6 pin mini-DIN, 9 pin D-Sub, click-fit x 2, mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm, 24 pin digital DVI, and 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15) connector type, which is somewhat more favorable than some similarly priced TVs.With built-in HDTV compatibility, this television can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)The 3:2 pulldown feature of this TV reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Cons: Has only a rear connector location.

Suitability: Built for those who are looking for a stylish, compact TV.

Value: Given its relatively inexpensive price, this TV has good features for the money.For example, when it comes to viewable screen size, the average price of plasma televisions with similar viewable size is considerably more -- in fact around $2,115.
