Starting with the TH-C50HD18, this 50-inch model boasts a stunning 720p resolution, delivering sharp and crisp images for both standard and high-definition content.

Similar to its larger counterpart, this model also features a 720p resolution and NeoPDP technology, providing vibrant colors and deep blacks. The 600Hz Sub-field Drive is present in this model as well, ensuring that viewers enjoy the same level of motion clarity that is crucial for an engaging viewing experience.

Both the TH-C50HD18 and TH-C42HD18 come equipped with multiple HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect various devices such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and sound systems seamlessly. The televisions also incorporate built-in audio enhancements, including the Viera Image Viewer, which enables users to view high-quality images from their digital cameras directly on the screen.
