Panasonic Viera TH-58PZ800U

By (cnet.com)

Reproduces deep black levels and highly accurate color ; excellent uniformity compared with rear-projection models ; THX mode delivers accurate settings without calibration ; relatively effective antireflective screen ; solid connectivity with four ...

Expensive ; blacks not quite as deep as the best plasmas ; optional 24p mode introduces flicker ; fewer picture controls than most HDTVs

The 58-inch TH-58PZ800U carries a big price tag compared with rear-projection alternatives, but its superb picture quality heightens its appeal.

But prices haven't fallen far enough yet for most people, so for the...

Panasonic TH-50PZ800U

By David Katzmaier (zdnet.com)

For the last year or so, our reigning favorite plasma TV was Pioneer's PDP-5080HD "Kuro," which got there by dint of its game-changing black-level performance, which is still the best we've tested outside of OLED. But many of Panasonic's 2008 plasma ...

Reproduces deep black levels and highly accurate color ; excellent uniformity with little false contouring ; THX mode obviates in-depth calibration ; relatively effective antireflective screen ; solid connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input ; ...

Expensive ; blacks not quite as deep as the best plasmas ; optional 24p mode introduces flicker ; fewer picture controls than most HDTVs

With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available.

But many of Panasonic's 2008 plasma TVs, including the TH-50PZ800U, come...

"Amazing. Stunning. Incredible. THX. HAPPY!"

By toddcarlsen (cnet.com)

Amazing. Stunning. Incredible. This TV was cl... 

Amazing, stunning, incredible, mind-blowing blu-ray picture. The best TV we viewed. Long lifespan (30 years). Future-upgrade-ready. Standard TV looks good. THX setting makes set-up easy (and phenomenal looking).

Nothing. The audio is very good for typical speakers, but they do not compare to high-end audio.

"WOW! Great Plasma at a great price."

By Foxman098 (cnet.com)

For the money, you can't surpass a buy like t... 

Purchased from Costco for $2999 ; they double the warranty to 2 years. Costco guarantees to fix/replace the set in that period if something goes wrong. This 58" plasma is beautiful. Picture is as clear and sharp as any I've seen from any brand

It didn't mount itself on the wall! Other than that, no cons yet. It's very quiet and clean looking. The anti-glare works pretty well. The sound is tremendous from the 4 hidden internal speakers
