Panasonic TH-50PZ85U: great buy from Amazon
I have been the proud owner of the Panasonic TH-50PZ85U plasma TV set for about a month.
This is my first flat-panel television and I switched from a 27 inch CRT Sony Trinitron.
Pricing, Ordering and Delivery:
I had been monitoring the price of this set ever since it got released earlier this year.
I had many opportunities to look at the set with my own eyes at Best Buy and other retailers but the price from most of these retailers was a little high, when co...

Know your TV and install area before you buy
I've read many reviews complaining about this TV yet it seems the majority of these people would've been better off had they done some research prior to purchasing a Plasma vs. an LCD. First, my review of this TV: This Panasonic is one of the best Plasma's I have seen. I won't bore you by restating the specs that you can read in the details of the listing but trust me when I say that the picture is absolutely beautiful. So why trust me? I've owned HD TVs since 2003 and have kept up with current ...

Nice TV
I had a Sony plasma that died last month a known problem with them -- Sony doesnt make plasma TVs anymore either and so I shopped for a new one. Now that Pioneer usually rated highest for plasma quality but pricey is no longer making its own panels but is sourcing them from Panasonic I looked at the Panasonic models. I was looking at the previous generation of the 1080p 50 panel but then this one was available -- it is actually 20 pounds lighter plus it has more inputs. So I got it broughtit ...

You WILL NOT be unhappy with this TV
First off, I don't know why there have been a few negative reviews. The picture is stunning. It really is beautiful, and that is comparing it to the latest LCDs and other plasmas TV's, honestly, it hangs with the best of them and even surpasses most if not all of them when you consider the price and the many features,(panasonic is claiming 100000 hours out of these babies!!!!!and a 100000 dynamic contrast with 30000 native!!!!! PC input, SD imput 3 HDMI output and the list goes on). I was so clo...

Awesome Picture with lots of features!
I took some time in researching the difference between LCDs and Plasma T.Vs.brThe new selling point that T.V manufacturers are trying to concentrate on besises high resolution 1080p is the T.V screens refresh rate. The refresh rate on the Plasmas are far more faster than the LCDs at least double the speed of an LCD. Plasma technology has come a long way since the early years and Panasonic is one of the reasons why. If you are looking at buying this model please do not hesitate..Get It! You w...

Exceptional!
This television is awesome. I decided to pay the extra $ and get a 1080p and I am so glad I did. When you connect the TV to a HD signal I have satellite or a 1080p upconvert DVD you get a picture that is second to none. Mine is hooked up to a 71 hometheatre stereo so I rarely use the TVs sound but when I do I find it to be more than adequate. The remote is fairly basic and easy to navigate you would expect an illuminated one however especially for the price and features of this set. The PC conn...

WOW!
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Ok, I shopped and shopped and shopped for best prices, availability, and trustworthiness. Ok, so it came from Newegg whom I trust very much. I bought it on Monday it arrived Thursday from AIT. AIT was great, they came right during their window unlike many others I have seen.
Now the TV itself? WOW! Where do I begin? It's got a great pict...

Incredible!!
I did extensive research and decided to go with a larger Panasonic plasma than I previously had. Now Ive had this tv for a month now and cant say enough good things. The picture quality is awesome and it really pops. PS3 and blu-ray both look amazing! The sound isnt the greatest but you really need to hook it up to a home theater if youre going to do it justice. The number and type of hook ups is perfect.brbrThe only con is you may gain some weight as its hard to pull yourself away from thi...

Awesome picture and great value
I am very pleased with this plasma display and feel that it has exceed all of my expectations. Although I am very impressed with the black levels I have been even more impressed by the rich and vibrant colors that the display creates. Bright ambient lights do not washout the picture as I had feared it would. There is a degree of reflection which should be expected from a glass screen but it is considerably less than the CRT display that this unit replaced. I was also very pleased to learn th...

Panasonic TH-50PZ85U User Review
I have owned this display for over 30 days, and decided to provide some feedback. Aesthetically, this is a very nice looking set on the stand. It is fairly simple, and the solid black bezel, stand and speaker look good.
The anti-reflective filter is fairly effective at attenuating in room lighting, and the contrast ratio helps with daytime viewing. For those concerned about reflections, this set is leagues better than a CRT. It may not handle external light like an LCD, but other ...
