When this model first came out over a year ago I dreamed about owning it. At the time it was selling for nearly three thousand dollars, which was significantly more than I wanted to pay for "another TV". The feature set was amazing and the spec were literally second to none - That includes Pioneer. After a year of continuous shopping the price for this TV dropped to twelve-hundred dollars on Amazon. that was less than the average Vizio. Looking at what they did to the newer models I doubt the good times will ever be back again.
1. The 850U model includes a Studio reference mode which is infinitely configurable. Few Plasma TV's have this capability accept for the highest end models. To get this capability on the latest Panasonic models cost thousands more.
2. The 850U comes with an SDHC video card reader. This is huge. I plan on buying one of the latest HD camcorders which all output to the latest AVCHD format. Panasonic is the only manufacturer doing this, and the new models don't offer this feature until you pay thousands more.
3. The 850U may be an energy hog, but i think all things are relative here. For me it may amount to another 1-2 dollars per month, despite being half as efficient as the newer models. On the up side, the older models look richer and can be turned up as bright as necessary. This is very important in bright rooms that have alot of reflection. The over-heating discussion is bogus. My TV is in an enclosed cabinet (with venting slits in the back) and it barely gets warm. Absolutely no big deal at all. In fact it emits less heat than my Pioneer that's only 42".
4. The picture quality on this set is much better than my Samsung that is also 46" (LN-T4665F). The off angle viewing on the Panasonic is fantastic. There is no fading or distortion at all on the Panasonic. The screen is perfectly uniform. The samsung is way too faded from the same off-angle viewing positions. I will say that the blacks are about the same, but the overall color saturation on the Panasonic is much better.
5. All the little things like quickly getting to the proper input mode, back lighting for the remote, and saving settings are all much better on the Panasonic. Also, I LOVE THE FACT THAT PANASONIC HAS A FRONT PANEL SLOT FOR INPUTS AND ATTACHMENTS AND NOT THE SIDE OR BACK OF THE SET. my cabinet is 47 inches wide. I can't insert anything on the Pioneer or Samsung because of this problem. twisting the sets all the way around to reach the back (in darkness) is too problematic. panasonic reolved this problem (huge benefit). I now have wall mounted the Samsung and the problem still exist. By the time you swing the TV 2.5 feet away from the wall the power chord and HDMI chord diconnect, because they are not long enough.
6. The Viera Cast is cool, particularly if they beef up the content in the future. Watching UTube on full screen is different. better to have it than not have it.
7. The single pane of glass makes this one of the nicest looking TVs on the market - no joke. I actually don't think I noticed how thin the facing bezel is until I hung it on the wall. It looks great off - like a work of art.
8. Its now discontinued, but for the feature set and price, it has all the bells and whistles of the plasma's that cost much more money. panasonics vision now is to find a way to make the energy efficient models look as rich as the energy hogs, which is going to drive the price much highr. No need to pay for their R&D when the set is not going to look any better on the screen. The other thing Panasonic wants you to pay for is the side thickness (from 4 inches to 1 inch). Admittedly it looks cool (only from the side), but you will pay more money to get the same features in a smaller case. The picture is not better, but the thickness is thinner. Again the cost is much higher.
I love this set. I now own the Panasonic, Pioneer and Samsung. My life is complete.

After much research & pondering about "justifying the expense", I decided on the Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ850U. I really love this TV -- it was easy to setup, & I "calibrated" it myself using the THX program on one of my "Star Wars" DVD's. The picture is unreal with any sort of HD input. I'm a bit disappointed in the "standard TV reception", even though I was warned to expect that. If I had to do it again, I might have waited until the new Panasonic TV's were available because they actually have a THX Mode (so do the Panasonic PZ800U's, but they also lack some of the features that the 850's have).
The delivery from Amazon was exceptionally prompt -- only took about 5 days from the time I placed my order (about 5 days ahead of schedule). The guy that delivered it assisted me in the un-boxing & getting it positioned. He didn't leave until we were both satisfied that the TV was in good working order.

I was initially skeptical about buying Plasma because of the things I had read about them (e.g. high power consumption, short lifespan). I can't speak of the lifespan of this tv (100,000 hours to 1/2 brightness according to Panasonic) since I have had it for only 2 months, but I have been monitoring the electrical consumption. There are 5 preset picture modes: Vivid, Standard, Studio Reference, Game, and Custom. Respectively, at widescreen and on factory settings, they consume approximately 400, 175, 250, 375, and 325 Watts. Thankfully, the picture modes are saved for whichever input you use; I keep the tv and game inputs set on Game, and the Blu-ray player set to Studio Reference. You can adjust each of these modes individually by picture, brightness, color, tint, and sharpness. The stock speakers were surprisingly good with coverage even to deeper bass however, it is extremely directional. After initial setup, I brought a pair of bookshelves on each side of the tv only to find that the audio sounded as if it were coming through a tunnel. This has no bearing on me since I have built a pair of external speakers for surround sound, though if you intend to use the standard speakers, just be sure to leave enough room on either side of the tv. Blu-ray playback is absolutely gorgeous! It is crisp and clear, contrasty, and quite bright. There is no ghosting, and the supposed 480 Hz technology is worlds better than the 120 Hz you see on LCDs, it looks natural and cinematic, and I am extremely pleased. On a final note, my Harmony remote has some trouble switching between the video inputs, so I keep the standard remote out just in case.

I bought this TV at Best Buy and paid quite a bit more for it than what you see here. I am thrilled with this TV and is quite a bargain on Amazon. I have cable and a DVD with HDMI and it was a snap to connect and start watching from the get-go.
It is a beautiful TV, and now I am addicted to the larger size widescreen HDTV's. The 800 series of this TV is excellent, and has the best sound ever. No need for a home theatre, DVD and Blu Ray plays BEAUTIFULLY. I bought the expensive calibration service which I think was a waste of money, as the TV is easy to adjust right out of the box. I have my own perferences, and after it was calibrated, I never even used the Custom setting (that is where they put the "calibrated" settings) and went back to my own "Standard" settings after the calibration. I turned off the NR setting, put the black level to "light" and turned off the C.A.T.S. settings on the "Picture" menu. Keeping the black level to "light" and turning off C.A.T.S setting makes a big difference in the clarity of the picture, and makes the adjustment of brightness and contrast more accurate. It takes a bit of fussing, but you can get a perfect picture, all by yourself. I love this TV, and plan to buy a 800 series in the 50 inch, also. Both these series are pretty future proof, and will probably be the last TV's I buy.
I have read that keeping the Contrast and Brightness down to 50 for about 30 days before revving it up any higher will "prime" the TV and actually make it last longer. The 800 series of the Panasonic Plasma has my highest recommendation.
P.S. Be aware that there is some reflection issues with the larger TV, just because they are able to reflect things like lamps over a broader space. This is the nature of big screen TV's I am afraid. However, I have a Sony LCD (the best) and I still prefer the Plasma..far better picture.
Just wanted to give an (May 28, 2009)update on my opinion of this TV. It has stayed the same. I still love it. I have changed my mind about getting a calibration done, and I think it is worth the extra bucks to get a professional calibration. I was wrong about that, the TV does play better after a calibration. I bought a second Panasonic Plasma the TH 50PZ800U through Amazon, which was a great buy, and excellent white glove delivery. I wanted the 800U in the 50 inch for my living room and the reviews for the 800U (with THX) was higher than the 850U. However, I prefer the 850U model over the "certified THX" 800U, and I also prefer the 46" over the 50" size. The 850U has special professional adjustment features, and I think the picture is sharper on the 46". So if you think bigger is better, that is not always so, but it always comes down to your own personal needs and preferences. I also bought a Panasonic BMP BD50 model of Blu Ray disk players. Blu Ray is excellent on both Panasonic models. The Panasonic Blu Ray player is very good, but I plan to replace it with a Oppo Blu Ray player when it is released. The Panasonic Blu Ray 1080p upscaling for standard DVD's could be better, so I plan to replace with an Oppo brand.

It got here on time, works great, and I love it. The only thing that really surprises me is how well the sound works. I have a system, but I almost never use it because the built in speakers are sooooo much better than the other panasonic I have.
By Jeremy D. Marcum (Indianapolis, IN)

I originally bought the TH-50PZ80U 50-Inch model but 3 days after I got it mounted on my wall I heard a loud pop sound, the picture went black and the red light started flashing a code on the front. Plasma TVs consume a huge amount of power - I think the 50 inch was running around 750 Watts. I did some research and discovered that the power supplies and internal power switching are extremely sensitive to power fluxuations. I had a surge protector in place, but that was not enough to save it. Ya need something like a Monster A/V Power Center / Filter (MP PRO 3500) or I just bought an industrial APC power filter rated for 800 Watts and only plugged my TV into it. I recommend this model: "APC BR1500LCD 1500VA 865 Watts 8 Outlets BACK-UPS" and make sure you plug your TV into the plug that says "surge & battery backup" and not "surge only" - ya gotta have a filter to give a clean 60hz 110VAC out to your TV because your power from the power company is "dirty" and that can damage your TV.

Wow,i recently purchased this panasonic plasma and all i can say is perfect.I actually have 3 other HD TVs i have a PHILLIPS 47" LCD A 52" samsung 720p(my daughter has that one good deal black friday) and a SONY 50"SXRD DLP 4 yrs now.This is my first plasma and by far is my favorite,i did alot of research on alot of tvs..aand although price was and is always a factor this panasonic is pound for pound awesome.The picture is clean and crisp,i am a huge sports fan(football!!) and the motion is beautiful.Also not alot a glare(if any),i have to say i actually got this plasma for $900.00 !! what value huh.It was the last one (display).All in all great tv it has been perfect for me you will not be dissapointed.

In my personal opinion, plasma beats best LCD models like Sony and Samsung. So, if you are still shopping, simply go to the store, and devote some time to comparing TVs and chose the one YOU like.
Like many other consumers, I was hesitating choosing between plasma and LCD TVs. Initially, I was inclined to LCD (Sony 120HZ), but after spending quite a time in one of the electronic giant stores comparing different brands, I chose Panasonic plasma (I liked Pioneer KURO even better - but it costs 3 grand more:)
If you prefer unnaturally bright, "computer" like images, go with LCD TV (but get 120HZ model or wait for 240HZ to come to the market soon).But again, even 120HZ is twice less of what plasma offers.
If you like "movie" like picture and absolutely fantastic, sharp quality of this plasma TV (420HZ, 1 million contrast ratio to 1), I'd recommend this Panasonic. Just don't forget to buy decent HDMI cable and Blue Ray player - and you'll be blown away. Even SD (regular TV channels look great). It's amazing.Period.

Love the TV. Just the right size for my room and the picture and colors are very clear and sharp.

I had a Samsung LCD TV (which is still have - moved to my bedroom) and wanted a bigger one for my Home Theater. I researched a lot of TV and was at first wowed by the contrast settings which is usually set to max in the TV showroom...I felt that something is different about the picture in LEDs and then I compared it to how movies are in the cinema hall.... And after I read about the Soap-opera effect of LED TVs, I started disliking the unnatural look in the faces..
Also, Panasonic does not give that look even in the full blown Vivid setting and also has a lot of tweaks possible to get to the natural setting... The THX mode is great if you get used to it. The blacks are best in this TV - try 'The Dark Knight' if you want to know what black is....
Overall a great TV - got a great deal in this TV and am very happy.
By H. Pavithran (Chicago, IL)
I bought this TV as an upgrade to my 26 inch Sharp LCD in my family room. I also own a DLP 60 inch Toshiba that I purchased from Costco in 2007. This TV has a picture that really pops, its THX certified and simply put if you dont have windows directly facing the unit, this is the best TV to purchase period. I paired it up with a Samsung Blu-Ray player and Dish HD receiver, along with a Yamaha Receiver and Bose AM 10 Speakers, the thing really rocks!!. It put the 1080p DLP to shame, now I cant seem to watch it without thinking - this is HD?
As a con, the picture sometimes feels artificially colorful almost like super colors when some DVDs are played but pleasantly so...
The sound is nice for the high end but almost no bass so had to upgrade the sound with a home theater.
By Dirk Daring (New Haven, CT)
Pros: Awesome picture quality. Better than my old 720P plasma.
Cons: FAN noise is annoying at times. My previous plasma TV was silent, so I never even thought to look for this as a potential issue.
Summary: Had I known about the FAN noise I would have not purchase this product. I kept the rating at 3 since the picture quality is very good. If you already have a noisey environment (XBOX, DVR, Fish Tank, PC, ...) then easily consider this TV. For those with quiet environments, you may want to stay away. You'll see posts claiming the fans are silent, do NOT believe them. I called Panasonic and they confirmed that the level of fan noise I am experiencing is normal. I would categorize the level of noise somewhere between a DVR and an idle XBOX 360 (not when the disc is spinning).
By Rajendra B. Dubagunta (Lansing MI USA)
I am neither a videophile nor one of those technical guys to put all the jargon to write review. I leave it to them.I bought this TV based on exceptional reviews(CNET,HDGURU,AVFORUMS). It is very stylish with single glass and Neo PDP. very slim(of course not like samsung's LED ultraslim TV). Out of the box settings for this TV are really good for common viewing. I went ahead and used the calibrated settings provided by CNET(for P50V10 , both are same except for scree size), and the results are awesome. This system simply blows you out with the deepest blacks and the picture quality. No LCD not even the latest LED based TVs come close to this.I am not concerned with the audio quality as I have home theater system.
Pros-
-Easy to install and start over with
-Exceptional picture quality
-Excellent Off axis viewing. Even at 160-170 degrees the picture quality remains same. ofcourse at 180 you will
see two images(thanks to the glass screen)
-Easy menu settings
-Viera Cast was useful. Panasonic should have provided a means to have keyboard input.
-Picasa photos look amazing in this screen. I haven't used bloomberg or weather that much
Cons-
- There are no cons for this TV as such. But I would like to talk about something which many reviewers have not said about.
Judder:
This TV no doubt the best of the beasts out there in the wild. But it still has judder. Initially I thought there is something wrong with my system. So I started out with going with reocketfish cables and monster A/C filter (which reduces noise in current)and could still see the judder(It was me and my friend who were experiencing this .Others they didn't even observe it).Then I tested with different BDs(Planet Earth,King Kong,Hancock and Harry Potter). I really was concerned about my choice. Then I took all these BDs to my local BestBuy to test on different other TV sets including one with 240hz samsung and sony. Surprisingly even when the motion flow is high and all cylinders firing at 240Hz these TVs has the same judder effect(though it was a bit less than what I felt on my TV).I ran the demo BD on all these sets and there was no judder at all. Then I came to conclusion that it all depends on source(BD or cable) and my TV is the best of all these in terms picture quality and video processing.
Conclusion
This TV is the best at its class (50,54,58 and 65)as said by other expert reviewers. Don't simply go by marketing of LED's . Do your research before buying and know what each technology does. Plasma's are not bothered by Burn-in and life span(This TV has 100,000 hrs as life span. Best in market),light reflections(visibility during daytime is as good as LcD's) any more. Simply go and buy it, you will feel proud of your selection.
By Richard G. Williams (United States)
Mr. Krueger said everything I would have (and then some) in his excellent review. I also read everything I could find in audio/video magazines and internet sites for a few months on all flat panel 1080 TV's both LCD and plasma and chose this one and I also purchased it on the first day available. This is one truly great TV. Too bad it has trouble with Onkyo receivers - my high end Yamaha receiver works great with it.
I have not yet hooked it up to the internet and I will probably wait to do that when the firmware update is released to connect either this TV or my new Panasonic Blue Ray player to get movies from Netflix.
I am an ametuer photographer and I have some high end cameras and lenses and take a lot of landscapes. This TV is also amazing for viewing my digital photos which I have put on both a CD and a DVD (in the blue ray player) and which I have also viewed by hooking my lap top directly to the TV via an HDMI cable. I am totally surprised by the resolution of the photos and the quality of using the TV as a monitor for my computer. I expected poor quality resolution due to the 54 inch size but clarity and resolution is as good as a small high quality computer monitor whether the photo file is as small as 300KB or as large as 4MB. This is a bonus I did not expect and I never see mentioned in reviews. Now I don't even have to convert the origional RAW photo files to JPEG files to view them on the TV since I can view directly from the computer via HDMI and I even plan to edit the RAW files in Photoshop using this huge screen for the monitor...it is that good and that is saying something.
I believe from my research and my experience with this TV that since Pioneer is no longer making their Elite TV this is the best TV on the market - at least at under $3,000 or $4,000.

I have had this tv for more than 6 months now and am extremely pleased. The color is very sharp and very well detailed. No problem with refresh rates at all, and you won't be able to tell this is not a 1080 tv.
One issue I do have is the sound. The speaker is fine with broadcast tv or with cable; however, when playing a blu-ray disk or PS3 game the sound needs to be cranked up. I don't know if it is the nature of the tv itself or if the hardware is defective. I should note I returned this tv once after purchasing because the speaker gave off a hissing noise. Replacement model had no such problem...it just seems strange that my only issue has been the speakers (which have caused me problems in the past). Perhaps it is just my own experience and not reflective of this model as a whole...but I thought it worth mentioning.
Regardless...this tv is a great value.

Ordered one and it was shipped and recieved in great shape. Just ordered a 2nd one for my grand daughter and her husband. I surfed the web and no one could come close to the same exact #model and price, with free shipping.

Pros: Price, Black levels, Price, Build Quality,Price ,Energy Star Compliant and did I mention price
Cons: Lack of 3rd HDMI connection, No PC input, No anti-glare coating ,Remote not as good as the previous generation
Summary: I purchased this product as a secondary panel to go in my home office (primary panel Pansonic TH-50PZ800U resides in the living room).Because of the following: Viewing distance, Screen size and the fact that all HD broadcasts are either 720p or 1080i I had no problem choosing a 720p model. Being a fan of Panasonic TV's,selecting the TC-P42C1 was a no brainer. The black level and color are very good as is the detail ( especially considering the price). Connectivity issues ( only 2 hdmi / no pc ) and lack of a anti-glare screen aside , this panel offers great bang for the buck ( sub $600) . In other words .....I'm very happy with purchase......

the only thing I would ask for , in addition is , on a non HD channles, the picture is streched , all the skinny actresses looks a bit fat :)
I think no other TV is doing that as well.

Best bang for the buck! This is now my 3rd Panasonic HD TV. Once again a fantastic picture. An incredible picture when hooked up to HD TIVO via HDMI! At under $600 with the wall bracket how could you go wrong!
