      TH-46PZ800U

      By Lincoln Spector

      Review summary: Panasonic's stylish TH-46PZ800U nicely balances image quality and features. Unfortunately, its price($2200 as of November 4, 2008) is $200 more than that of the next-most-expensive set in its size category, the Sharp Aquos LC-46D64U, and $800 more ...

      Pros: Superior sound, with THX certification SD Card slot for multimedia

      Cons: Expensive Not optimized for home use

      Verdict: In my hands-on tests, the Panasonic's audio quality was phenomenal when matched against competing sets' built-in speakers. The audio strained when I turned the volume all the way up, but at two-thirds of maximum volume, I could hear every quiet detail ...

      UltimateAVmag.com: Panasonic TH-50PZ800 Plasma TV

      By Scott Wilkinson

      Review summary: 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 Panasonic's PZ800 line, which includes a 58-incher as well as the 50-inch TH-50PZ800 reviewed here. Is its THX ...

      Pros: Excellent overall detail, Superb shadow detail, Great color, Fairly low black level, 48Hz refresh rate for 1080p/24

      Cons: Menu system very frustrating, Red bump at 50 IRE, Video processing not that great

      Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U Review

      Review summary: In this review you get to read about a plasma TV that comes with both exceptional picture quality, as well as a very good price tag. Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U is not a cheap model, being one of the top models from Panasonic, but considering the ...

      Pros: Great value for the money ; Perfect colors thanks to THX mode ; No need for calibration, offering a great experience out-of-the-box ; Very good black levels and great detail in dark areas of the picture ; Sufficient connectivity ...

      Cons: Black levels not as good as those of Pioneer Kuro models ; No fancy features like network connectivity or access to internet services ; No advanced picture controls, albeit it doesn't really need them

      Verdict: It has four speakers, two on each side. Two of the speakers are woofers, producing low frequency sounds (55Hz - 200Hz), while the other two speakers cover the higher frequencies (200Hz - 17kHz). The sound is more than decent for watching TV and is ...

      Award: Editor's Choice!

      Pros: 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 ...

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

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