Amazing color reproductionThe incredible black reproduction of a Panasonic High-Definition Plasma TV results in impressive contrast and beautiful, natural colors. So you’ll get warm, accurate skin tones, gorgeous greens, breathtaking blues and vivid reds. For color that’s as rich and bold as life itself, look to a Panasonic Plasma TV. |
|
|
Consistent brightness from any angleA Panasonic Plasma combines anti-glare and anti-reflection technology with the natural light-emitting properties of plasma, to give you a super-wide viewing range with a crisp, beautiful image from almost any angle. |
 |
Smooth, graceful motionWhen you’re watching sports or movies with fast-motion graphics, you want a TV that can keep up with the action. With over 900 lines of moving picture, self-illuminating plasma displays eliminate afterimages in fast-action scenes. So whether you’re watching a sporting event or an action-packed movie, you’ll always get the most impressive viewing experience possible. |
 |
24p native reproductionMovies are shot at 24 frames per second. Unfortunately, TVs operating at 60Hz can only refresh 20 times per second, which means they must drop every fifth frame. With its 2008 Viera PZ85, PZ800, and PZ850 models, Panasonic introduces 24p native resolution, which means 24 frame per second movie content is reproduced frame for frame exactly, making for true-to-source smoothness of motion. |
 |
1,000,000:1 ContrastThe Panasonic’s Real Black system (a pre-discharge suppression system) and improved panel production processes combine to reproduce outstanding blacks with superb contrast. Each image is richly expressive, from bright scense, like scorching desert landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Compare the image produced by conventional HDTV on the left to the Real Black image produced on the right |
 |
More ColorsViera HDTVs support the xvYCC color profile (Extended YCC Colorimetry for Video Applications), or “x.v. color” for short. Standard RGB color space allows the display of a portion of the colors that are viewable to the human eye. The next generation “xvYCC” color space actually offers an available range of colors that exceeds what human eyes can recognize.
|
 |
Deep Color Where x.v. color expands the available range of colors your HDTV can display, Deep Color increases the number of colors your HDTV can display within that range, for smoother transitions from color to color.
|
Viera flat panel HDTVs interact with an array of high-definition devices and services, making it easy for consumers to access and enjoy content as never before. As of 2008, Viera Link is compatible with Onkyo and Yamaha home theater systems.
| Videos and stills recorded on SD cards can easily be viewed via the SD slots on Panasonic Blu-Ray Disc players and Viera HDTVs. | Viera Link means easy connectivity via HDMI cables. Finally, consumers can easily operate their Blu-Ray Disc players, DVD recorders and home theater systems with a single remote control device. |
 |
 |
| Equipped with an RGB input terminal, VIERA can connect with your PC and serve as a large-screen monitor. | 4 HDMI inputs to connect all of your devices directly to your television. |
 |
 |
 |
Long LifePanasonic plasma panels are rated to last 100,000 hours, which is about 30 years of regular or 11 years of non-stop usage before the brightness of the display is halved. |
 |
Get Full HD with Blu-Ray Disc PlayersA Panasonic 1080p plasma television is able to render 1920×1080 pixels, but standard DVDs have a resolution of just 720×480.

This isnt so much a review of the TV. The TV itself is great. But Amazon’s price match policy on the other had is horrible. I purchased this TV about 2 weeks ago at 200 dollars more(from amazon btw, even though any store was cheaper). Called up amazon to get the price match(one of the reasons why i went with amazon. And they say that i have to return the item to get the money. And the reorder it at the new price.
The other reason i ordered from Amazon was the “white glove” delivery. where the set it up and take the box. That is not exactly how it works. The put the TV in the basement and left it there. I guess that is a good thing since now i still have the box to return it with.
TV 5 stars without a doubt awesome TV.
Amazon 1 star.

I just ordered a 58PZ800U Panasonic plasma, and now I find ou that Amazon
has incorrect information concerning this set.
#1 This set does not have a once sheet of glass panel
#2 CNET has down graded it’s review of this set. It is no longer an
Editor’s Choice selection.
Anyone else out there find any other incorrect info as well? I’m thinking about returning this set once I receive it. Should I? Please advise. Thanks.

Although there’s better TV’s out there, this one is the best for the money. Delivered earlier than expected with no issues. Picture is great and sound (THX) is wonderful. 2 thumbs up!
Rating: 5 / 5
I bought this TV based on its glowing reviews. After watching the TV for some time, I have found it to be quite overrated. My friend has an XBR4 and we compare back and forth quite often. Everyone points out the glare, but that actually hasn’t been a problem for me. When the TV is off, the reflection is so severe it can be used as a mirror. When the TV is on, however, I really don’t get much reflection.
The Panasonic’s highly touted THX mode is soooo dark that it is only feasible to use this in a pitch black room watching a blu-ray. Even in a pitch black room, I find it far too dark for normal HDTV watching. Accordingly, I typically use the Custom picture setting for most viewing. The blacks on the TV are quite good as reported. It’s the whites where I take issue. They are much dirtier than the whites on any LCD screen and really impact my viewing pleasure. I also observe significantly more depth on the XBR compared to the 800U. The speakers are another weakness and the thing that bothers my wife the most. C- at best. Probably not much of an issue for people using their sound system all the time.
While the XBR picture jumps out at you (and may at times seem a bit larger than life), the 800U’s picture may actually be a bit more realistic. Even though the screen is 58″, however, I always feel the need to get closer to the TV for a better view. Up close, the quality appears quite good. From normal viewing distance, however, the huge screen does not satisfy due to the overall darkness and lack of punch. Viewing the 800U is like viewing a photo on matte paper where viewing the XBR is like viewing a photo on glossy paper. In any case, the 52″ Sony seems much “bigger” than the 58″ Panasonic. I can watch from a normal viewing distance on the XBR. Maybe this is an LCD vs. Plasma thing as much as anything.
The place where the Panasonic trumps the XBR is with Standard Definition TV. SD is clearly better on the 800U than on the XBR. But given any HD source, the XBR is a winner by a significant margin. Light room or dark room. Don’t buy all the hype. Compare for yourself.

This panasonic PZ800u has the best picture I have ever seen anywhere. I spent months researching TVS and finally narrowed it down to the panasonic. I got to tell you this Tv will flat out amaze you with its color and clarity, but make sure you get high definition cables. My freinds and family always comment on the tv. I reccomend it to anyone.
