Seven 50-inch Plasma Television Sets From £484

Contrary to popular belief, the best time to buy electronics in general is not just before the Christmas period but during the whole of December when retailers are nervously desperate to end the year in fanfare.

And amongst the various gadgets that have caught our eyes are large screen televisions, more specifically, Plasma screens bigger than the normal 42-inch. The current sweet spot lies at 50-inch or 127cm in metric units where you can get even a brand new, full HD model for under £600 including delivery, with plenty of stock around.

And you will be surprised to find out that some well known retailers are actually charging a few hundred pounds extra on some of these sets, so it does pay to shop around.

1. Samsung 50PQ3000

You can get this popular Plasma television for a mere £604.90, a price that includes a whopping five year warranty. Sadly it is only available at this price instore at Richersounds and if you are lucky enough to have one near you then, you can always check here for more details.

Apart from being a 50-incher, The 50PQ3000 comes with a new 600Hz sub-field driving technology which apparently makes fast action footage like sporting events, look much better. 

It comes with a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a brightness of up to 1500cd/m and a number of features that include LG's proprietary SRS TruSurround XT surround sound system and Clear Voice II.

On top of that, the 50PQ3000 carries three HDMI ports, two SCART sockets, a PC Input, a side mounted USB to connect any removable storage but sadly no SD card reader.
