TC-PxxU2 Series

There are just two models in the U2 series, a 42-inch unit and a 50-inch unit. These are not exactly the entry-level series, but they're still pretty far down on the totem pole, lacking an analog audio output and a VGA input. There is an SD/SDHC card slot, but it only plays photos, not video or music.
