Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ85U 46-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV Reviews

Summary: I finally made the right choice
Comment: So, after being completely dissapointed, and overcharged with a 42" Dell plasma (Phillips tv packaged in a Dell skin) that suddenly stopped working after a mere 3 years, I finally got the Panasonic plasma that I had wanted in the first place. The 46" Panasonic Viera is a great plasma, period! The colors are sharp, the blacks are deep, the packaging (skin) is pleasing, and the setup and remote are completely intuitive. I did have one little glitch with the way non-HD channels were displaying, but one call to Panasonic and their customer service representative understood the problem, passed it on to the techs, who then spent time to recreate the problem, and then called me within 48 hours (can you believe it, they called me!) with a very quick and easy solution. Needless to say I am not only very impressed with the plasma, but with Panasonic customer service as well. I highly recommend the 46" Panasonic Viera Plasma television.

Summary: Great look, great price
Comment: I've had this TV for a week and the picture quality is even more stunning than I anticipated. This set produces colors with a richness and depth I haven't seen in LCD units in this price range. Unlike plasmas from just a couple of years ago, the screen is plenty bright. Screen reflectivity isn't really an issue for me, although as with any plasma it could bother someone in a room with especially bright lighting. The 46" size provides a nice, immersive effect for watching movies; the only caveat I'd offer is that standard-definition TV doesn't look great on a screen this big if you're sitting too close -- you want to be at least 7 feet from this one if you're watching a lot of non-HDTV. DVDs on our 4-year old progressive-scan DVD player look quite good, although I am biding my time for Blu-ray to become more affordable and ubiquitous, because that's where this TV will really shine. That said, HD TV over cable really does look spectacular. Delivery from Amazon was flawless and the set arrived 2 days before the estimated shipping date, with excellent communication from the shipper.

Summary: Nice TV - Amazon Delivery Excellent
Comment: I waited a LONG time to get an HDTV to let the crazy prices get more reasonable. After researching recently, I decided on a plasma and the Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ85U seemed to be the plasma to beat at the $1500 price point. I had some reservations about buying over Intenet. However, I've had nothing but good experiences with Amazon and when they ran a 0% interest special with free shipping and a price that was only about 5% more than the "too good to be true" NY/NJ schmucks, I decided to buy. I'm glad I did. The delivery fellowrought the unit in the house, unboxed it and made sure it was perfect. He then showed by how to install the base and offered to do it for me, which I gratefully declned. The picture on this TV is fantastic, it's got 3 x HDMI (all used) and it's not overburdened with whiz-bang features that run up the cost for no good reason. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! THANKS AMAZON!
