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...

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...

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...

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...

Deep, rich picture I originally purchased the Samsung FP-T5084 my 2nd Plasma but I returned it because I couldnt get that picture with the wow factor. I wont be returning this one. With the increased contrast ratio it produces deep blacks and a sharp almost 3D picture. Its always nice to be able to go to the AVS Forum and read the threads on this TV because they give you great starting points on your picture settings so you can fully appreciate this TVs capabilities. After having this TV for a little over a weekIv...

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...

Fantastic product! This TV is excellent. First off it was easy to set up right out of the box. The controls made sense and the out of the box color settings were already pretty good and needed only minimal tweaking. The contrast ratio is unbelievable. Compared to the Sony LCD my friend has the blacks are much deeper and the motion is much crisper. The price was also incredible from CC. The only drawback I could possibly perceive is that the sound quality from the TV speakers is average only... however this T...

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...
