Summary: Panasonic Viera Delivers The Goods !!!
Comment: Every good thing you read in the reviews about this TV is validated when you view the picture.Sharp high resolution, good sound quality for built in speakers and an almost infinite picture tuning capability to customize the viewing preferences of the owner.If you want more contrast you can adjust it to where you will need sun glasses! Packaging and delivery was good and on time.White glove delivery is as stated , however you should know that a $20 advance tip was provided in order to encourage the two men to mount the TV on the enclosed pedestal.It is impossible for one person to do it alone given its weight.Had I not done so , I believe they would have resisted mounting it. I have heard others say the same thing.This is not a complaint however, because Amazon has always demonstrated to me that they are customer focused, stand behind their products and are hands down the best on line seller.After the tip , the agents spent 20 minutes tuning the TV to my preferences so it was well worth it. Order this product with confidence in it, and in Amazon !

Summary: Beautiful Image!
Comment: After a few days with this TV, I am mad at myself for not ordering it sooner. This TV is great. Amazing black level, very crisp, rich colors, it makes everything look better. I'm upgrading from a 37" LCD and I'm totally sold on plasma tech. I think 50" is the perfect size for the average living room. Go big or go home.

Summary: Great TV at a great price!
Comment: After months of research, going to stores and scouring the internet I settled for the Panasonic TH-50PZ80U. This TV is one of the less expensive 50" Plasmas but has great picture and the HD channels are very clear. It has great reviews and in the week I have had the TV the reviews are justified. I chose it over the TH-50PZ85U because it seems the only difference between the two is a little higher contrast ratio and that the 85U has a PC input and my PC has an HDMI output so I didn't need a PC input so it wasn't worth an extra $200 for me.
Just a few issues. The regular channels do not fare as well but that could well be just in comparison to the HD channels. There is only one composite video input in the back which I use to plug in my old (non up-converting) DVD player which means I have to plug my PS2 in the front. Not that big a deal since I will get a new DVD player with HDMI soon. Also the TV is on a fixed base and it would have been nice to be able to tilt it a little due to the height of my TV table.
Amazon had the TV cheaper than anywhere else. I ordered the TV on Sunday and they delivered it on Thursday via CEVA. They took it out of the box but I expected them to set the TV up on the stand and plug it in but they did not do that. Still, for the price it wasn't a big deal since Best Buy would have been at least $200 more plus tax plus $60 delivery.

Summary: Awesome Quality
Comment: I have always been very reluctant about plasma tvs but after reading about and reserching the newest models from Panasonic and the upgraded technology I became a believer. The picture on this tv is really incredible. Great contrast and color with amazing blacks. Love the game mode which now enables you to to safely play your video games. With the anti image retention setting I feel much safer about the chance of screen burn. The new antireflective screen does a great job cutting down the amount of glare and relection. The only thing I am not crazy about is the sound quality. I find it to be on the weak side but it is not a big issue since I have the TV hooked up to my stereo system. All in all I highy recommend this set for its quality and performance.
