This high-definition model features an NTSC tuner for conventional analog channels and an ATSC digital tuner to receive over-the-air broadcasts, including HD programming where available. 720p display capability delivers a smooth, detailed picture and the screen-saver feature prevents burn-in. HDMI inputs and a variety of other video inputs and audio outputs make it simple to connect DVD players, surround-sound systems and other entertainment gear. Note: You must have a source of HD programming in order to take full advantage of an HDTV. Otherwise, the picture quality of an HDTV without an HD source may not be much better than that of a standard definition TV. Please contact your local cable or satellite TV provider for details on how to upgrade to HD programming.

When I ordered the product I thought the TV was surround sound compatible. I was disappointed to say the least to find out the DVD had to be playing to get the surround sound. That's the reason for the less than good survey.

Review 2 for Sanyo 50" Class Plasma HDTV with Digital Tuner, DP50747

Sanyo TV worked well then the warrenty ran out.... i purchased this tv 11/07 and was a good deal for the price. But now the tv will not power on...green light comes on then nothing and it turns itself back off. i did not buy the extended warrenty because a tv should last more than 1 year and 5 months and i figured in 3 years i would likely be replacing it anyways. I called thier tech support. no help at all.. then says to call Mon - Fri 7-4pm central to reach USA assistance. I call them and they are no help. The lady gives me a supervisor who states.. this is 1 year 5 months old.. yes i am aware. I asked him if he bought this tv would he expect it to last over 1 year and 5 months. Harvey the sup says yes but i cant help you. So i read online for the issue i was having and lone behold.. So are many others. As soon as the warrenty is out the tv becomes a nice 50 inch mirror on your wall...

This TV worked great for the first 13 months. Then one day the TV would just turn off by itself. The green power light would still be on, but no picture or sound. Then about a month later, the TV would not turn on at all, again the green power light would come on, but picture or sound. I did not purchase the extended warranty, in which I have learned my lesson, but who would have thought that a $1,200 (what I paid in 11/07) TV would only work for 13 months! Please read the 6 or 7 reviews, that I seemed to miss when researching this TV, that basically complain about the very thing I am. Buyer beware, or make sure you spend more money on the extended warranty plan!

I bought this tv about a year ago and waited to write my review after testing it out. I must say this tv is great. I read all the reviews. I have never had a problem with any burn out images on the screen. No cutting off. Anything. The deep color of the picture is outstanding. The only thing you want to look out for is where you set up the tv. Too much light will leave a glare on the screen while watching. Other than that, perfect. I suggest anyone looking to buy their first flat screen or just another one for another room to purchace this tv. LUV IT.

this tv is great the contrast and colors are incredable i was going to get a 1080p lcd but the colors and black and white levels are so much better on a plasma I think even though this tv is only 720p it looks better that most 1080p lcd. alot of people say there is burn in problems with plasma but i wasnt thinking and left a blueray paused and left 2 hours later when i got home there was no burn in or anything only two down sides to this tv are there is no pc input but you can get a adapter for that and the other is regular tv isnt that great but its like that with almost all hdtv over all great i only paid 830 for mine I love it

I am very unhappy with the product that I puchased Sanyo 50" plasma screen TV). I love the size but hate the quality of picture it shows. I cannot even see clearly the people in the background when watching this TV set. I have probably watched the set about 3 times since purchased and it has been over a month. I plan on returning it back to Walmart and exchange it for a better quality TV set maybe a smaller inch.
thanks Disappointed1

I went to Walmart looking to buy a 1080P HD TV, my wife talked me into this model with the lesser resolution. The resolution is not the problem. After less then one month of casual use it has dead pixels. Little red dead spots on the screen.
I intend to return the TV to Walmart tomorrow and exchange it for another. Surely I won't get two lemons?
The remote also drives me crazy, the channel up/down is on the wrong side from every other remote in the universe. We often turn the channel when intending to change the volume.

bought my sanyo on the 18th of march and still runing just fine . so here's my review
Value : $828.00 for a 50'' plasma o yea.. Meets Expectations: yes very happy with this tv picture quality: excellent , but you need HDMI cords for a 50'' 720p . and cant sit closer than 7/8ft. from the tv before it turns blockie/blurry if you are sitting closer you need a 1080p . i sit 10/11ft. with HDMI cords and its excellent Sound quality: was ok just average speakers Features: are good just the basic's a little extra stuff like the white pattern that really works great .
the only thing i dont like are the burn-in's but what hdtv doesnt get burn-in's , just make sure when you get done watching your tv before you leave your house or go to sleep . just put the tv on a timer for 30 min's then click menu and select white pattern it will run with the 30min's then turn off.
overall: i love my sanyo tv
o yea dont be afraid to buy cause its so low in cost. a year ago it was $1199.00 without tax..

Purchased tv on 2-28 broke on 3-10 of 2009. Tv suddenly just turned itself off and keeps trying to turn itself back on, but won't come back on? The tv did have a nice picture and i thought it had 3 a/v jacks and like 4 hdmi jacks. So that part worked, but will return to the store for a different model. Will not buy another junk.
