With no TV tuner, one input, whether its a HDMI or scart, will need to be occupied solely with a set-top box.Connections include twin HDMI and component video inputs alongside three audio inputs and those that are assigned for composite and S-video.An RS-232C socket will please fans of home networks for connectivity to this type of system and there is also a connection for hooking up a PC.
HD sources look stunningly detailed. Colours are produced in a rich depth and realism that is almost unparalleled.Foe standard definition material, Fujitsu provides a Faroudja DCDi chip that gives a relatively clean result from upscaling footage to fit its larger resolution screen.

Although struggling to match HD footage for clarity, DVDs are displayed with some grain and noise.
That the speakers are an option for this system is a good indication that it is meant to form the centrepiece of a home cinema system. Standard sound is therefore limited to basic bass, treble, balance and loudness settings.Possibly for enthusiasts, a little tweaking and perseverence with setting produces one of the best high definition pictures around.

Review By Cnet

The Fujitsu is quite an attractive looking beast with its (compulsory) piano-black finish and unusual glass stand. It’s a heavy unit though, that glass stand adds considerably to the already hefty 43kg. And while we’re on the topic, it’s an absolute bugger to attach as none of the screws seem to line up properly. But once set up, this plasma looks the business — even if the speakers do hang off the sides like the wingnuts on an eight year old.

To test the high definition capabilities of this unit we ran a number of tests in 720p and 1080i modes. To test gaming on the P50XHA58EB, we connected an Xbox 360 at 720p and ran Tony Hawk’s Project 8 and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. The image quality was nothing short of incredible. There were no image noise or contrast problems and the level of detail was excellent. The unit handled motion well with no ghosting and fine details like dust particles were rendered without pixelation. At its default settings, there was a moderate level of over-sharpening but we were able to remove it with calibration.

AVM II video processor is one of the most powerful video processor used in the plasma domain, and Fujitsu claims that this processor is four times more powerful than most of the processors available which makes it an artful component in the Fujitsu displays. Ease of Installation is yet another important feature about this television that makes it popular among the masses. Pixel by Pixel processing is yet another noteworthy feature of this screen that helps to reduce burn-in and image lags. The burn-in reduction adds to the display life too. Pixel by Pixel processing and scaling helps to increase the picture clarity largely, and also helps to render highly detailed images.

Plasma panels rarely work flawlessly via PC connections and, with this consideration in mind, we ran tests using DisplayMate Video Edition. We expected some aberrations when testing the P50XHA58EB, but apart from some pixel fluctuations in the vertical resolution and moire tests, we found none. We ran the tests at a resolution of 1360×768 so these fluctuations were clearly a result of scaling that extra 6 lines of pixels required to reach the native resolution (1366×768). As such, this is hardly anything to worry about and won’t affect general PC use. The rest of the tests were delivered flawlessly and the desktop looked great with no over-sharpening on text or desktop icons. If you’re a media centre PC user, you’ll no doubt be happy with this model.

Standard-def pictures are impressive (apart from some slightly orangey colours), but the main event – hi-def – is an absolute riot. The P50XHA58EBb’s major achievement is how clean and sharp images look.Watching Superman Returns on HD DVD, every detail – from backdrops to the actors themselves – is visible in incredible clarity and there’s no trace of irritating grain or dot crawl to detract from this high definition feast.

Review By Pcauthority

We discovered that the Fujitsu 17CT was one of the better monitors in our colour and greyscale tests, which suggests that it is capable of good tonal gradation. This would make it appropriate for use with applications that require a good deal of tonal range. In our geometry and distortion tests, the 17CT performed reasonably well although in our sharpness and resolution tests it proved to be the poorest performer. Although the Fujitsu 17CT did not do so well in our subjective tests, this seems to be not much of a problem since the scores in this section were highly stratified.
