Panasonic Viera TH-58PZ850U 58-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV User Review

So much has already been said about this amazing Plasma so I won’t waste words here. After months of research this loyal Sony owner jumped ship.After side by side comparisons and reading countless reviews I determined that the Viera blew the Sony XBR away. The Kuros by Pioneer has priced itself out of the competition for my wallet and to be honest I think you are splitting hairs between the Viera and the Kuros.My dilemna was in choosing between the 58 Inch Viera 800 or the flagship 850U. The lesser priced 800 is the only model of the two that gets the THX certification on it’s picture and is priced around 0.00 less. The 850U has the firmware and ethernet connection so that it’s capabilities are upgradeable.It currrently has the ability to view your Picasa photo’s,watch YouTube videos, and a few other neat things like the one click concierge service for any problems the TV should have as well as world weather. The Vera Link option works seamlessly with my Panasonic 55 Blu-Ray player. I was able to have the best of both worlds. Although Abes of Maine consistantly had the 800 at he best price around. I was able to buy a refurbished 850U that comes with the 90 day warranty from Panasonic.I paid 99.00 and I am so happy I did. This TV is in perfect condition and they pack it like it’s the last one on earth. I bought from Just like New Electronics in case you are looking. I’m amazed at this Picture and all the bells ans whistles the TV has. It’s has th whole family under it’s hypnotic spell.I wanted the cleanest look I could get and replaced my old surround sound system with a Yamaha YSP4000 sound bar. I have no regrets on any of it.By buying the 850U I’m able to stay up to date with all the new ways Panasonic can think of to keep me connected to the world. I love the fact that it has begun to replace my small PC screen and Laptop with 58 inches of mind blowing views. If you can swing it I would not hesitate to buy the 850U. I don’t think the lack of THX certification means anything other than Panasonic not wanting to pay the extra money for the Certification in an effort to keep it way under the Kuros.

Panasonic VIERA G10 Series TC-P46G10 46-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV User Review

After viewing several makes and models of televisions at different stores this is one of the best ones I have seen, if not the best. The picture is outstanding. Colors are bright and vivid while the depth of the black level is really good. The contrast, sharpness, and color all seemed perfect right out of the box. The naturally higher refresh rate of the plasma set is an added plus. Being able to go directly to the internet for streaming movies through Amazon.com, viewing weather, stocks, or watching You-Tube is also a nice feature.
After viewing the new LED and LCD pictures, they appeared to be be overly bright and so sharp that the picture on the screen seems to be a series of pasted snapshots. The plasma set is more lifelike with a more three dimensional look. Sound quality is pretty good even when turned up to a loud level. The G-series line of plasmas by Panasonic is noticeably better than the other lines.
The price from Amazon with shipping included was the best price I could find anywhere at the time.
Delivery was quick and handled very well. The deliverymen unboxed the set after it was brought into the house and stayed until it was inspected.
All in all a fantastic plasma picture at a great price.

• 1080 TV Line Moving Picture Resolution
• VIERA Image Viewer
• Clean touch bezel

Size, speed, detail, fluid motion . . . the Panasonic TC-P65S2 has it all. While the Full HD plasma panel’s 1920 x 1080p resolution is ideal for watching HD video from sources like Blu-ray Disc, a 600Hz subfield drive and 2,000,000:1 native contrast ratio team up to deliver seamlessly fluid motion as well as crisp detail and color. And at 65″ in size, this plasma panel puts the “theater” in home theater. Further, allowing you to share all your digital photos with friends and family without huddling around a computer, the TC-P65S2 combines VIERA Image Viewer technology with a built-in SD card slot. For optimal single-cable connectivity to HD audio and video sources, look to three HDMI inputs. Finally, ENERGY STAR qualification ensures energy-efficient operation.

Compare all of the 2010 HDTV Series Features

Building on its award-winning 2009 Plasma line, Panasonic’s 65-inch VIERA TC-P65S2 Plasma HDTV features a new panel with NeoPDP technologies that provide the best balance of black and white under brighter environments while also offering higher energy efficiency. The new NeoPDP Plasma panel also further reduces reflections and creates sharper pictures with higher contrast in brighter environments. This S2 series model provides 1080p resolution, full-time 1080 TV lines of moving picture resolution, and 600Hz Sub-field Drive for superb motion clarity.

This and other models in the S2 line offer Panasonic’s VIERA Image Viewer feature, which enables you to play slideshows of JPEG images stored on SD memory cards, as well as the VIERA Link feature for controlling a variety of compatible components–from Blu-ray Disc players to digital cameras–through a single remote. Adhering to Panasonic’s commitment to the environment, this VIERA model–as well as all 2010 models–features improved power consumption and meets the new, more stringent Energy Star 4.0 requirements. And you’ll get a long Plasma panel life of up to 100,000 hours–more than 30 years of viewing when watched 8 hours a day–before the brightness of the panel decreases to half.

Key Features

NeoPDP: By redesigning the Plasma panel’s cell structure and developing an innovative new filter, Panasonic has tripled the luminous efficiency (compared to 2007 models) of its VIERA Plasma HDTVS–resulting in stunningly beautiful images while also reducing power consumption.   1080 Moving Picture Resolution: With 1080 lines of moving picture resolution and integrated NeoPDP technology’s high-speed drive performance, the display time for each image frame is shortened to minimize afterimages, making decisive calls in football matches and delicate motions in figure skating performances appear crystal clear.   600Hz Sub-field Drive: 600Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1080 lines of resolution. For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology, which converts the motion in each scene into data. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects (see an illustration of 600Hz technology).

VIERA Image Viewer: View full-HD images with the integrated SD card slot, enabling you to view JPEG photos captured from your digital camera or camcorder on the big screen. Navigate your images via an easy-to-use thumbnail display.   VIERA Link: Allows the interlinked operation of various AV devices–from DVD and Blu-ray Disc players to home theater sound systems to digital cameras and camcorders–using only the VIERA remote control by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable (see pop-up illustration).   Game Mode: With Game Mode, quicker image response increases the enjoyment of video games when a game console is connected to the TV. What’s more, VIERA produces the dark images in video games more clearly. This mode works with the anti-image retention (wobbling) function, too.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

An important feature of this Plasma TV is its ability to display true 1080 video content since these plasma angels are cable of displaying full 1080 lines of moving resolution.

While this isn’t a huge difference, it is still important to note that the TC-P50VT25 provides full 1080 motion resolution. The Panasonic TC-P50VT25 is a THX certified 3D TV just like all other models in the VT25 series. The THX certification implies that these Plasma angel TVs are in line with rigorous THX standards for picture quality and meet critical standards in areas such as uniform brightness, accurate colors and color gamut, low black levels, high contrast ratios and the ability to display full HD video content.
