What's the big deal about ENERGY STAR?

By using features like an light sensor, the P50S602 can honestly say that it is ENERGY STAR compliant, which sounds great. What does it mean, though?

For the family or homeowner, energy efficient choices can save about a third on the energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort.

This appliance meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and US Department of Energy. So whether you are concerned for the environment, your pocket book or both, this appliance helps ensure both are given an easier load to bear.

Domo arigato

It's a roboto! Suggesting a distant family link to the table fan, the P50S602 sports a motorized power swivel stand that rotates the screen up to 30 degrees to the left or right, optimizing the home entertainment experience. Unfortunately, unlike with the table fan, the closest you'll come to cooling off in the summer with the P50S602 is by staying in and watching a holiday flick on fifty inches of plasma bliss.

The other half

An amazing picture is great, but without great sound, your movie just won't be realistic. Most TVs have speakers roughly the size of a fifty-cent piece. Unless you want to spend hundreds more on speakers, this isn't a lot of fun. For audio performance features, the P50S602 has you covered. The centerpiece is the 20-Watt speaker system. This provides plenty of oomph for your favorite flicks. There is also bass boost, mute and soft mute, simulated surround sound, and MTS Stereo SAP with dbx. With these sound features, you're cinema experience will be nothing short of awesome.
