Loading ...Sanyo DP50749 Review: 50” Plasma HDTV
Up for Review: Sanyo DP50749 Plasma TV. With a glossy black finish, this HDTV is sure to win a lot of hearts for its attractive looks. And this finish causes it to merge with the background in dimly-lit rooms. And when you have the lights on in full force, the sleek look will make the images look great. The good looks are complemented by a sturdy looking stand which can be taken off and the set can be mounted on the walls. The design of the remote is also good and it makes a perfect fit in the hands.
It has a built-in tuner to relay all free-to-air signals without the need of a separate set top box. The picture quality is good with a display resolution of 720p. This is good enough to view all programs shown on the TV but may not be proper for viewing the movies on a Blu-ray player. The movies certainly look better in 1080p. But you have the option to view 191 channels which is quite a good range of channels. The Sanyo DP50749 has a unique screen saver option which will help to prevent burn-in.

User Reviews
Sanyo DP50749 is worst tv I’ve ever owned. Pink and green hues are really annoying even after adjustments in advanced manual picture settings. I’d much rather use my 42″ Panasonic!!!
i bought this tv on impulse on a black friday sale, the only thing i was worried about was the burn in image but i didint get one for the first month and then i would get them all the time if i leave a game paused for like 5 mins i get the worst burn in ever its got a white out screen that takes it off but that is just annoying, all in all the tv was cheap and its got a lot of hook ups and the picture is great, down side bad burn in and color pixels are already going out luckaly i got the 3 year warrenty.
A good TV for three and a half months. It’s been in the shop ever since and still not fixed. Warranty people are no help. It is so frustrating to hear the same answers read off of a list every time you call. They won’t replace it unless it can’t be fixed. They allow your warrant to run out while your TV sits on the shelf at a local repair shop. I can get my car fixed in a few days. A Sanyo TV takes months or years. I’m still paying for HD service, but have no TV to view it on. My warranty is running out. They’ve got my money and I have been had.
A good TV for the price. I had it for a year and still is working good. It got a green hue but manually controllable by the advance control.
