Panasonic TH-65PZ750U 65-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV User Review

We bought the TH-65PZ750U both because an independent/non-profit consumer magazine rated its little brother, the TH-58PZ750U, as the top-performing TV in its size class, and because Panasonic TVs in general were rated as having the least-frequent / smallest number of problems/repairs. In my own experience, one can’t take for granted getting both high performance and reliability in one product. So with a credible source saying that Panasonic nailed both, we figured we can’t go wrong.

We’ve been using this TV for about 4 months and are very pleased. The picture looked awesome right out of the box. The only adjustment we’ve made since then is to back off the “Picture” setting because we found it to be very bright; not a flaw, just preference. I am particularly fussy about picture quality, and until now preferred smaller screens because the big ones just didn’t look good to me. But the TH-65PZ750U changed that. The HDTV picture is incredible. The colors are vivid but not embellished, the level of detail is stunning, and the edges are nice and crisp. In fact, with a good HD source, the TH-65PZ750U is able to give the illusion of looking out a window or “being right there”. But it also excels with regular non-HD sources as well.

On top of all that, the TV itself has a nice gloss-black frame that looks really sharp. Obviously a matter of taste, but some of the gray-plastic frames on other TVs make them look cheezy and could be of detriment to the “wife-approval factor”. Ours is being used as a monitor connected to a home theater system, so I am unable to comment on the TV’s built-in tuner or sound quality.

So if you want top-shelf picture quality from a company with a good track record for reliability, the Panasonic TH-65PZ750U is definitely worth putting at the top of your short list.
