My Panasonic plasma 50 Inch is the easiest TV I've ever used in my entire life. It has simple features such as digital tv selections on the remote, access to my pictures thru my smartcard reader. The reader is a little slow but the pictures come out absolutely beautiful. I have an S-Video output that works wonderfully and all's I had to do is plug in my laptop to my s-video or my HDMI cable to the tv, and it hdisplays on the screen with-in seconds. Please note: you must change to the input device. The HD quality is better than most TV's I've seen even with 1080p. LCD is just not very clean compared to plasma. But make sure you keep it face up at all times! Never place a plasma TV down on it's face. It will ruin the picture. I purchased this TV on a Black Friday special for only $700.00 and it was the best investment I ever made! It's well worth over $1,300+.

I've own this TV for over a year now and it has been a stellar performer since we got it out of the box. My original hopes were for a temporary (ie affordable) solution for our home theater room-- but its so met every expectation that its grown into a permanent role.
The picture is very crisp, with very deep blacks, good light/dark detail, and accurate colors. Of course the picture settings out of the box were a bit vivid, but with some tweaking it looks a good as any similarly priced plasma I've ever seen (we chose the Panasonic after home-testing a similar Samsung).
I personally wouldn't lose too much sleep over the 720p vs 1080p. With HD signals and blu-ray discs the picture looks fantastic. And unless you're sitting within 2 feet of the screen, you'll probably never notice the missing resolution. (I have a 1080p Sony as well, and detail-wise they seem identical.) Besides, most the movies I watch are normal (upconverted) DVDs, which look wonderful as do the standard definition channels as well.
After one full year of daily use, I haven't had a single problem with this TV. And considering the low price I paid, I'd consider it a winner on every level.

I purchased this tv to replace a Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ80U 42" 1080p Plasma HDTV that was stolen.
I liked the 42", but felt that, with the distances I watched it from, a 50" would be better, and that 1080p was of no use to me.
I was correct. The 50" is better when viewed from 10'+ and it was impossible to tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. It was also $75 cheaper to get the bigger tv, so it was win-win all around.
I do wish it had a few more features, but I feel that it represents the best "bang for the buck" in plasmas at this price point and size.

We purchased this set in Oct 2008 at our local Best Buy (incidentally at the $999 price that Amazon has today in 2009) and are very happy with it. Picture is fantastic, controls easy to use. Our cable company switched our HD cable box from a component output to HDMI, and man, did the picture get even better.
We also use an Apple TV connected to this television via HDMI, that looks great as well. Great fun to surf YouTube right on the TV, and the quality is actually pretty decent. We've rented and purchased HD movies on the Apple TV and they look fantastic as well.
Even though it is only 720p the picture looks great for my aging eyes, and we use it in a large living room seated at least 8 feet back. I'm not sure we could tell a difference between 720p and 1080p anyway. Great way to save a few bucks.
There is an optical audio output, so you can send the audio from your HDMI sources out to your receiver as well. We don't use the speakers on the TV, we run everything through our Onkyo, which also sounds great.
The main cons:
This set is light on inputs; only 2 component inputs on the back, 2 HDMI inputs on the back, and one HDMI on the front. With more and more gear using HDMI you might have to snake a cable to the front and leave the little door open. Minor inconvenience, as we don't have ours wall-mounted.
Also, this thing is rated for almost 500 watts of power when it's on. I did notice our power bill went up a little bit when we switched from our 19" tube to this monster. But the picture is great and worth the power premium. (I prefer plasma over LCD)
By the way, this is our only TV, and we're glad we picked this model.

Honestly, I did some homework and believe we made the best purchase. Color is vivid and I was worried about a plasma being in a somewhat well lit room, but that is not a problem for this television.

I bought this TV last spring and paid $1600, something I'd said I'd never do. Brought it home and set it up and was a little stunned to find out that I needed to upgrade my DirectTV receiver to HD. After all was said and done, it truly is the best thing I've ever purchased. I talked to 2 different salesmen from 2 different major dept. store chains when I was looking. I was set on the LCD from what I had heard. After the "spiel", I asked both salesmen what they owned and they both said "plasma". They explained some stuff about the rate of speed that is captured with the plasma and that they both notice the LCD streaking at times of high action in sporting events. They also did warn me about reflection issues with the plasma and they were right. I have a window at the back of the room on the south side of the house and when the sun shines in, I have to shut the curtains. If I look close (really, really close), I can see the lights in the room reflect off the glass like screen, but the outstanding picture and contrast make it a non-issue for me. I used to occasionally check in to catch the scores of the MN Twins games with my 34 inch Toshiba, now I look forward to coming home and watching the entire games. I'm still paying off the credit card, but haven't sent in a payment yet that hasn't brought satisfaction to mind. I'm salivating waiting for Football season! It's really a great TV....

This tv was at least $500 more at the traditional stores (Best Buy, Ultimate Electronics...). We bought it with free shipping and it was delivered by two people with in just a few days of us ordering. It is a great TV!! Beautiful picture!!
By Randi J. Countryman
This plasma tv looks awesome mounted on the wall in my gaming/ chilling area! Xbox 360 looks perfect on it and i sometimes hook my overclocked beast of a PC to it (via DVI-HDMI or HDMI-HDMI cable) and max out the eye candy, and let me tell you...ITS UNREAL! Of course HDTV looks great on it...ok..Everything looks great on it! Make sure you get a surround sound audio system to use with this.
By Handy Man (Falls Chruch, VA)
Excellent performing plasma. Has nice hook up and card slots. The built in speakers will get you buy until you get a surround system.
We watch fast actions sports/movies and this plasma does a great job following the action without shadows or pixelization. This made it an easy choice over any LCD.
By C. Burns (US)
I was watching TV when the power just shut off, and now it won't turn back on. The TV is about 2 years old, so it isn't covered by warranty. After doing some research online it appears I'm not the only one with this problem.

Yes, I know this is supposed to be for 800U's and mines a 700U but the point is that they are basically the same and i need to vent. I referenced consumer reports and at the time the 700U was the cream of the crop. I will agree, it is a very nice unit. the sound produced from the tv speakers are very impressive. (surround system hadnt been hooked up yet). its all for not as this TV was purchased 2 years ago and now its gone black. so yes, this tv is a great tv....its RELIABILITY on the other hand is NOT!!!!! you know, you get these reviews and such, when they are new tv's, they're ALL nice tv's but i guess when it comes down to it, its about reliability as well. i have had CRT tv's last for over 20 years. this is pathetic. a $2300 unit only lasts 2 years. i have since read reviews with similar problems with these panasonics. the repair guy told me that there was a class action suit and that panasonic has extended the warranties on 42" plasmas. any lawyers out there want to see what we can do for the 50"ers. picture and function great.......while it lasts.
By lgh5000 (Southern Colorado)
I did a lot of research, and decided to go with this TV. I haven't been sorry! The picture is so clear - it's absolutely amazing watching sports. And it makes me feel good that a year after my purchase, I have yet to see someone else with a better picture! I ordered from amazon, and am so happy with the price and service. Thank you!

I've owned this panel for over a year now and I couldn't be happier although I have one minor peeve. I just purchased my first blu-ray player and there is no way to label an input blu-ray. Also I'd like to add I've played several discs at 1080p/24 and found none of the flickering problems mentioned by other reviewers. (Oppo BDP-83). If I get the 100,000 hrs quoted for the half life I'll be one happy camper.
By Christopher J. Shaker (Bend, OR United States)
If I had rated this TV a few days ago, it would have gotten five stars. However, it just died the other night while my wife and I were watching TV on it. It made a 'pop', and the picture went away.
I tried disconnecting the power, and turning it back on. It blinks the red LED ten times, waits, then repeats. Looks like an error code to me.
It was a great TV before it died. It died about two months after the one year warranty ran out.
Chris Shaker
Update 2009-10-27: Got a call from Panasonic today, and they are going to cover the full cost of replacing the plasma display. Turns out the plasma display had a two year warrantee, even though the TV itself only had a one year warrantee. Thank you Panasonic!
By K. Brown (Lincoln City, OR USA)
We got the TV in January. I just now tore myself away from it long enough to review it.
We bought a Disney (blu-ray) movie with a travelogue feature of the grand canyon included - loking at the feature, on the TV was like looking through a window. - even standing way too close to the screen.

Excellent, 5-stars all the way. You can't possibly go wrong with this TV. Just Love IT
By Very Happy (TX)
We searched long and hard before this purchase. I spent several months comparing Samsung, Sony and Panasonic HDTVs and deciding between a plasma or LCD. One feature that truly sold me on this television was the built in surround sound with sub-wof built in. The picture is stunning, there is no glare that is noticeable and it is located in a room that had a tremendous amount of natural light. I would highly recommend this product. The price was great and the delivery service was excellent.
By Tharuthalai (florida, USA)
I have had the Panasonic TH-50PZ850U for about 6 months. I spent about $2100 with extended warranty. So far, I have been impressed. The resolution was top notch. I used "Finding Nemo" to test the colors. On the vivid setting it was fantastic... Probably a bit exaggerated. The Studio ref mode offers more accurate colors. The THX settings on the 800U may be more accurate, but I would love to have a little bit of oomph to the colors even if it is not accurate. Don't we all like "exaggerated fake ones"!
Clearly this TV is a winner. It comes close to the blacks in a pioneer and the THX accuracy of the 800U. It matches the Brilliant colors of a Samsung or probably even better. It has improved energy savings, better anti glare screen, wider viewing angle, and a web interface via viera cast. I am going to set up the viera cast soon. I cannot find another TV that packs more.
The speakers are great. I moved to a smaller home and had to keep the surround speakers in storage, but I don't feel the need for them.
It is easy to assemble and set up. You won't need a professional. I bought an upconverting DVD player to watch all my old DVDs and the difference is obvious. I am yet to watch Blu-ray movies. I am waiting for a good blu ray player that can also play movies stored on an external hard drive through a USB connection.
Like others have mentioned, the only bug - if a player is connected through a HDMI port it will switch out another that is connected via component cables.

I love this TV. The color is vibrant and accurate. The remote is easy to operate with user friendly menus. HD programming brings the action right into your home! The technical support from Panasonic over the phone was also very helpful. The only negative I have had with the TV is that blinds in windows do need to be closed for best performance, otherwise there is quite a bit of light reflection off of the screen. Overall the experience of purchasing this set through Amazon has been a great one.
By David K. Wright (Charleston, SC)
Like most of my electronics purchases, I researched this for over a month. Waited for price to settle and got a great deal with Amazon. I already own 40" and 46" Samsung 7 series 1080p LCDs, Sharp Aquos 1080p 32"LCD and Toshiba 1080p 32" LCD. This TV is exceptional for watching movies in particular. The color reproduction is unrivaled. The picture is a bit softer than the LCDs. The LCDs have sharper contrast, but almost too stark and colors not as natural. Paid extra for the Sammy anti-motion blur 100 mHz feature. Works ok sometimes. But nice thing about the Panasonic is no motion blur b/c smooth high speed images inherent in plasma technology. Front drop down access panel for power, vol, ch controls and inputs for RCA, SD card, and HDMI convenient feature. No fumbling around the dark back of the set to plug in dig camera, SD card, Sony PS, etc. Hooked up to ethernet and able to surf the web and display images and video from PC-a real kick to see Windows desktop on 50" screen. Movies on studio reference setting like being in the theater. Only other TV considered was Pioneer Kuro. Head-to-head similar reviews. Panny half the price. A no brainer. We never go to the movies anymore! Buy it you won't regret it!
