Best Deal there is September 2, 2008

The picture quality is just jaw dropping. The blacks are awesome and even the explosions show texture in the bright yellow/orange hue. SD looks great too. Since these Plasmas were under RD well before 1999 at their Osaka factory (which I visited) I think by now the design is well improved and stable. br /I was torn between Samsung and Panasonic so I HAVE to compare them here. Samsung plasmas eat the dust because of the reflection issue which I seriously think Panasonic has taken care of in this model. The Samsung Plasma AND LCDs have that glossy "new product" lacquer finish - but what good is a TV if you get distracted by the reflections off its screen??. I find it inexcusable that Samsung product designers let it happen in all their products. Compare with the thin bezel Samsungs the Panasonics looks larger and more majestic. You can't go wrong with this one.

What can I say that others haven't already? I owned this tv for 5 days now and I am absolutely floored! I held off of buying a flat panel tv for over a year because I thought I needed to spend $2500-$3500. I finally broke down after finally accepting that I couldn't spend that much, and settled on the TH-50pz80u. I thought I might be disappointed by not buying the TH-50pz800u. Boy was I wrong! If (that's a big if), the TH-50pz800u looks better than this TH-50pz80u, then so be it because I am totally satisfied. I just want to tell everyone out there that this tv looks 10X better at home than I ever saw in any retail display. Once I plugged in my Comcast HD-DVR and the Panasonic DMP-BD30 Blu-Ray disc player I realized that despite how good all those displays looked in all of those stores, they paled in comparison to a clean, dedicated signal. This tv is perfect...I love it and I believe that you will too.
Your best value and outstanding performance August 14, 2008

The battle wages on between LCD and Plasma, but I know I chose correctly when I picked up this television. I have had it now for over a month and I still am as mezmerized as I was on day one. The colors and picture quality are absolutely brilliant. I have a friend that has a 1080p LCD TV and it does not hold a candle to the overall picture quality of this plasma. Again, the one drawback to a plasma screen TV is that it has a glass front, so if you are planning on having this in a room with lots of light and window, reflections will be a problem, and you might choose an LCD. But if you have a TV area like mine, hands down this is the best value and quality. 3 HDMI inputs (2 back, 1 front), 2 component inputs (1 back, 1 front) and your regular cable and composite hook ups available on back as well. The menues are easy to navagate, and the remote is user friendly. This also has an SD card slot that can handle the SDHC cards up to 16gb so you can display your digital photos. The only thing I wish the TV did was on the picture slideshow it allowed you to play music (mp3 files) during the display like some photo frames. Oh well, my pictures look excellent. Finally, my blu-ray movies and my HD-DVD movies are spectacular on this TV. Look around, but you will come back to see that this TV is a best value hands down.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this TV. I quickly realized the panasonic plasma was the way to go, I just needed to figure out which model. I decided to go with this one because it gave the best bang without spending too much coin. I absolutely love the TV. The HD picture is unbelievable! Also, my experience buying through amazon was great as well. I got the white glove delivery service which was fine, but don't have your expectations too high. I think they train them to get out of there as quickly as they can. But the TV was packaged fine and in great condition. All in all I would highly recommend this TV and buying it through Amazon to anyone.
