The Best Plasma for the Money I'm not sure what the huffing and puffing is all about... Some people are leaving negative reviews supposedly because of the reflections on this Panasonic Plasma TV. One reviewer's comments and to paraphrase that "So bad that it almost makes the tv unwatchable in anything but pitch black room" What???? and as John McEnroe would say: You Cannot Be Serious!!
The TV is in our family room with several windows. Either we are all blind in my household or we are watching 2 different televis...

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...

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 for the past 5 years and have kept up wit...

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...

take reflection reviews with grain of salt please I've only had this tv for 5 days and I'm new to big screen tv's but the reviews here stressing the glare are greatly exaggerated. Can you see reflections on the screen when it's off? Yes. Can you see lights reflected on the screen when watching the tv? Not really. If you're looking for it and focusing on nothing else maybe. Now would be a great time for you to go to a chain store and see these things including previous years models hanging on the wall as well as LCD's. You'll see they all...

Excellent Plasma I debated long and hard between buying the Pioneer Kuro 5080 and this Panasonic 50PX85U. The Pioneer as everyone knows has amazing black levels that set it apart from the competition. The Pioneer truely is the the best plasma tv on the market, but the cost to me outweighs the picture benefits. I decided that I could go with the Panasonic that came with 1080p versus the Pioneers 720p. I am very happy with the Panasonic's picture quality. I haven't had it calibrated yet...still waiting for the 1...

Almost identical to last years I have owned a few different HDTV's in and I have to say the Panasonic plasma is one of my favorites. I own a 52" XBR4 LCD and this plasma blows that out of the water when watching fast moving sports and movies. I also have a Pioneer 5010 and under normal everyday viewing, there is very little if any difference in picture quality.
I just bought the TH-50PZ85u and calibrated it yesterday. First of all let me say that I also own last years TH-50PZ77u and bought this to put in our bedroo...

Great TV and awesome PQ! Panasonic delivers again! This TV is incredible in terms of picture quality. I don't find the reflection to be that bad although my family room has blinds and can be much darker. I do not watch a lot of day time TV so if you watch a lot of night time TV, this plasma is for you.
In terms of the black level, although it's 30,000:1 native contrast ratio, I agree with another reviewer that it probably was not much blacker than last year's model (PZ700U), but even so, it's still much be...

I love this TV, but it has to be installed in the right environment This is a great TV. I gave it 5 stars, because it is very well designed, it offers all the functions that I need and the image is gorgeous. I understand, however, the complaints about reflections. But this set is not to be blamed; reflections are a limitation of the plasma technology. If you believe plasma is the right choice for you, this TV is probably one of the best you can get.
A lot has been discussed about plasma vs. LCD. To me, the difference between the two technologies is qu...

It is a roll of the dice if you buy a plasma TV online I purchased this plasma after a lot of research because Panasonic is the 2nd best to Pioneer in quality and picture. Pioneer, arguably the top plasma on the market, has decided to stop producing their own plasma and will now buy from the same company that Panasonic gets it's screen.
The online price was great and a made sure that the supplier was Amazon and NOT a 3rd party.
WARNING: Be very careful and look who the seller is. Other than Amazon, most if not all of the 3r...
