Fantastic! Jan 06, 2009 I've been very happy with this 50 inch Panasonic. The THX setting provides a practically perfect picture and is excellent except when there is a ton of daylight in the room. I think the sound quality is pretty terrific also. Great for movies and sports. The TV this replaced, that I moved upstairs, was a 2007 42 inch Panasonic. And this is head and shoulders above that set which I thought was pretty awesome before this one arrived. Two thumbs way up.

Every bit as good as I knew it would be... Jan 06, 2009 I did a lot of research so I already knew I was getting a great tv. This is my first HDTV and it is just great. I connected a PS3 and surround system and played my only blu ray movie, Ironman. Wow, I spent 2 hours with my mouth hanging open. Better experience than a movie theater in my opinion. Dish Network will be installed this weekend, looking forward to that. THX mode and 24p settings are great for movies. You may wish to turn off the C.A.T.S. setting. It made the picture much too dark.
Some people are reporting excellent "white glove" delivery and some are not. "White glove" sounds like something special. My delivery was anything but special. After several days I called Pilot to ask about the tv. They said they had it and they may be in my area next week they will call to set an appointment. Next week came and went with no call. I checked the tracking number and it said that the tv was delivered. So I called again and was told the tv was delivered. Then they said it was given to another trucking company, I should call them. So I called them. They said the tv was delivered. Then they said it was given to yet another shipping company, I should call them. So I called them. You already know what they said. Then they decided they actually did have the tv and could bring it tomorrow. I actually no longer wanted the tv at this point, I was getting a little upset. What saved the day was the two friendly, experienced professional delivery guys that brought the tv to my house. The box was in perfect condition, they brought it into the house, took it out of the box, and set it where I wanted. I got lucky. This delivery service should not be touted as something special if they cannot make it special for everyone. I am very disappointed with Amazon and I always start with Amazon when I am planning a purchase.
Make no mistake though. This tv is awesome! Don't hesitate to get one.
Great television poor white glove setup Jan 06, 2009 The panasonic television was shipped and delevered in a very timely manner. The picture is fantastic and the menu options are easy to follow and the setup was not to complicated. The television was delivered under the "white glove" program and this servce was short of what I expected. The delivery man brought the television into the house and exposed just enough of the tv to be able to plug it in and turn on. Once this was done he left. I then had to finish unpacking the tv and connecting it to the cable box. I notified Amazon about what happened and they apologized for this shortfall and refunded me the cost of the service. I was very happy with Amazon's attitude and will continue to do business with them.Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV
Better then expected Jan 06, 2009 I consider myself and audio/video guy. I come from front projection TV viewing and used two different DLP projectors before this. The trade off was simple, smaller screen for a brighter and more vibrant picture even in the light. I think it was worth it. I went from 85" down to 50" but I have been very happy. I looked at a lot of LCD's and Plasma TV's and Plasma is really where the future is, LCD's just can't give you the same movie type feel that Plasma can. No matter how many Mhz they add, 120, 240. Whatever it is it still looks artificial. Not to mention the deeper blacks you get with a Plasma. I am still blown away by the quality of the picture once I got this setup. The THX mode is almost dead on with its settings, little needs to be changed. My only complaint with this TV is the optical pass through on the back of the TV does not pass through a Dolby Digital signal. It only passes through Stereo.. Come on Panasonic release a firmware update to pass through DD and DTS!!! Other then that, this TV is well worth the money.
Worth every penny - fantastic picture Jan 05, 2009 After reading all the reviews and checking out Consumer Reports we decided on purchasing this set. We had heard that the picture at home wouldn't be as good as the one in the store. This was NOT the case. If anything the picture at home is better. The only adjustment we have made is to turn on the THX setting. We did not have it calibrated although the salesman has promised to do so. Frankly the picture is so good it may not be necessary. Our only complaint is that our cable provider has fewer than 60 HD channels so our viewing is limited to those and the BluRay disks. The Rose Parade was spectacular - every flower seemed to jump out at us and the colors were true. My husband has watched every football game possible and it's almost like being at the stadium. BluRay movies blow us away with the color and clarity. Even "regular" DVDs are clearer than we expected. We bought this with a Panasonic BluRay player. We recommend this set very highly!

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
