Reflective glass increases need to boost ‘contrast’ control for bright picture
If the TH-42PZ800A is representative of Panasonics entire new range of plasma HDTVs, I would have to say that they are on a winner. Despite the seeming dominance of LCD TVs, this TV shows that plasma is still the best. RRP: $2899.00 GadgetGuy Rating O...
Great blacks, excellent contrast, rich accurate colours, good motion handling
Minor noise issues, calibration options lacking
Another great plasma from Panasonic. The TH-42PZ800A produces a great picture with some of the best blacks weve seen; it only suffers from a few niggling issues. ...
Abstract: Its hard to say what our first impressions of the Panasonic TH-42PZ800A were: the south end of a north-bound robot? Darth Vader with a moustache? The Panasonic is certainly a futuristic looking telly. And its gloss-black finish and subtle bottom bezel...
Abstract: This Panasonic plasma scores big points for its highly detailed pictures, both from its tuner and via Scart. The contrast-rich HDTV picture impresses in Blu-ray movies, but the TV struggles..
Abstract: The Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the first HDTVs to earn THX certification. But you might ask, “Isn’t THX mainly into audio?” I can see where you’re coming from, but THX isn’t exactly new to the home video business. It has...
Excellent black levels and color saturation, Eyepopping 1080p detail, THX mode gets the set very close to optimum image quality, 48 Hz mode gives you a smooth cinematic feel for compatible sources, Flexible input/output options, 4:4:4 color support makes...
48 Hz mode produces some flicker which can be distracting, Wide bezel makes the set larger than it needs to be for its screen size
The TH-46PZ800U gets the important stuff right, producing outstanding image quality, including excellent color saturation and deep black levels that give the picture an almost three-dimensional quality. The 48 Hz Cinema Mode does eliminate judder but ...
The THX mode may not be perfect in every respect, but it creates a very pleasing image natural color, great detail, and minimal digital noise with no or minimal setup effort required on the user's part, This plasma produces a respectably deep black not the deepest we've seen but still quite good so the image has nice saturation in a dark room, The connection options are thorough, and the SD c
The new 48Hz mode reduces judder, but it adds noticeable flicker that some people will find even more distracting, This TV isn't as good at upconverting SD content as the best panels we've seen, although it is solid in this respect, Plasma TVs generally aren't as bright as LCDs and therefore aren't the best choice for a really bright room with lots of potential light reflections.
The Panasonic/THX collaboration proves to be a good one. The TH-50PZ800U is an excellent performer that rivals the best panels on the market but comes in at a slightly lower price point.Additional Resources• Read more plasma HDTV reviews from HomeTheat...
Abstract: In my review of the LG 50PG60 plasma, I identified its product line as one of only two with THX video certification. The other is Panasonics PZ800 line, which includes a 58-incher as well as the 50-inch TH-50PZ800 reviewed here. Is its THX performan...
Abstract: Panasonic builds from its 2007 plasma TV acclaim by offering up a worthy 2008 successor with the Viera TH-50PZ800U. The amazingly rich and deep Panasonic black levels are back, and new for this model is a THX mode, which further enhances the picture qu...
