I'm not sure I would call this a gadget but I felt it was worth a review.
Panasonic TH-50PZ850U
50" VIERA® 1080p plasma HDTV
Picture controls to suit both novice and expert
HDTV picture quality keeps improving, yet few models display their full potential without a professional calibration. The TH-50PZ850U delivers a gorgeously clean, natural-looking picture without requiring you to make a lot of adjustments. Simply choose the "Studio Reference" picture mode to see colors the way the director originally intended — the way they look on reference monitors in editing rooms. A separate "Pro" setting lets you further fine-tune picture controls like brightness, contrast, and tint.
Panasonic's most advanced plasma screen design
The TH-50PZ850U uses Panasonic's most advanced 1080p plasma panel technology. It can reproduce 5,120 shades of gray — 25% more than last year's models — for naturally seamless colors. Picture contrast is outstanding too, with notably deep black levels. This TV's 24p Cinematic Playback mode optimizes 1080p video from a Blu-ray player — it doubles the original playback frame rate to 48 frames per second, just like most theater projectors do. You'll feel even more like you're sitting in a theater.
Have more fun with videos and photos — without touching your PC
Panasonic included direct Internet access so you can connect the TH-50PZ850U to your broadband Internet connection and use Panasonic's easy VIERA CAST interface to view videos at YouTube™ and photos at Google's Picasa Web Albums™.
And "850-series" plasmas include advanced memory card playback. You can view high-res AVCHD™ video recorded with one of Panasonic's high-definition SD™ card camcorders, or display digital photos you save to SD with a digital camera. Simply insert the card into the TV's front-panel slot and sit back while the whole family enjoys beautifully lifelike home movies or the latest vacation pics in the comfort of your living room.
