Although CNET did not review the 50-inch Panasonic TH-50PX80U, we did review the 42-inch Panasonic TH-42PX80U. Judging from their specification sheets, the two Panasonic plasma HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size and native resolution; the 42-inch set has a resolution of 1024x768, while the 50-inch set is 1366x768....
