A TV with a built-in DVR is a wonderful idea. The 50PC1DRA?s DVR works well for the most part, though there are a few things I would definitely change. The detail, black level, and color of this set are generally quite good, but the shadow detail isn?t. Plus, the set exhibits some contouring despite the XD Engine's 14-bit color processing. Still, you could do a lot worse. If you watch a lot of broadcast TV and appreciate the value of timeshifting, this set could be a good choice.
