I do believe that every single person that reads this article would love to have his/her own widescreen Plasma TV connected to a high-end home cinema system. And since the demand for such devices has risen quite a lot during the past year, the Microtek company has launched a new line of premium Plasma TVs, dubbed Cineon, which offers - according to the company - an unparalleled quality of the TV watching experience, since each unit is individually calibrated prior to shipping in order to ensure optimal performance.

The Cineon line features 2 models, one with a 43-inch diagonal and one with a 50-inch diagonal, but we'll discuss about that later today, namely the CP50HA model. And I'll start by telling you that it has a very cool look, being quite slim and richly outfitted in a high-gloss piano-black finish, but it also packs quite a technological punch, featuring state-of-the-art video processing that includes 3D digital comb filter and edge smoothing technology for impressive color, very good shadow/highlight detail and gray balance.

Here is a list of the most important features the Cineon CP50HA from Microtek has to offer:

- HDTV compatibility: 480p/720p/1080i; - Full HDMI connectivity for 100% digital data transmission; - Digital Color Transient Improvement (CTI) edge smoothing technology; - 10-watt-per-channel amplified speakers (detachable); - High-Definition (WXGA) 1366 x 768(p) resolution; - Built-in HDTV tuner (NTSC/ATSC); - 8000:1 contrast ratio; - Level of brightness: 1000 cd/m2.

This pretty impressive piece of television equipment costs around $2,199.99, which is not even that big a price, considering what this thing has to offer.
