What's great about it: picture quality - value - price - size What's not so great: no swivel stand
"I have had this for six weeks now and love it! Picture is excellent and colors are accurate. I suggest the warm setting for the most accurate color. Motion blur is nonexistent with this tv. If you are watching sports or fast action movies, this TV is perfect. Remote is simple if not too simple. Non HD channels lack a bit but look fine. (you will find this with all flat panels) 42" was too small for my room and the 50" too large. Thank you Panasonic for making the 46" size!"

What's great about it: Picture....vivid colors, very crisp, easy set up What's not so great: sound
"Shopped around for best deal. Shopped online and in almost every store that sold TV's. When I started out, my main objective was price. I decided to buy a 50" or bigger in 720p. Knowing that 1080p was the future I changed my mind to go with a 46"-47" 1080p. So from there I price shopped for those comparables. After MUCH research on all tv's I decided to buy the Panasonic for my bang for the buck. This tv was very easy to set up and the picture is amazing!! Needs a surround sound system if your living area is medium to large. I can assure you that this tv for a budget of $1000 - $1500 is the ABSOLUTE BEST TV on the market."

What's great about it: Video quality and the way it looks What's not so great: Audio seems weak
"This is a really good buy-- especially that panny tvs last longer. The audio is not too impressive though. The sound is not bad but it is not great. You will need support from a home theatre system. Other than that, everything else is great!"

What's great about it: price, features, style What's not so great: one HDMI input in the front insead of the back...
"the tv is one of the best for the money you pay for it. great contrast ratio, refresh rate, and style. one of the only negatives found so far is that the HDMI port is in the front of the tv instead of the back and maybe the side. i bought this tv a week ago and so far nothing i can see is wrong with it. the HD looks stunning although when i watch HD basketball games the brightness settings seem to make the court's yellow glossy color seem too bright.. i have yet to find a solution on how to adjust that. but for the money it is one of the best tvs that are out in the market."

What's great about it: Great price for what you get What's not so great: none so far
"Just bought this TV on the recommendation of several people who work at Best Buy. The picture is great. The sound is good and works well for where I'm using the TV. Would recommend a separate sound system if you are putting this TV in a large room. It was easy to set up. I bought the Panasonic Blue Ray Disc player at the same time. Had them out of the box and working within an hour; and most of that was getting the stuff out of the box! I did not rate this produce five stars because I haven't had it long enough to know if it is outstanding. So far so good though."

Exceeds high expectations
06/02/2008
By picardcfrom Walled Lake, MI
What's great about it: Deep blacks, shadow detail, overall picture quality, high refresh rates What's not so great: Non-adjustable base, power consumption (628w, are you kidding me?!?!)
"I've been shopping for an HDTV for a while now, waiting for the prices to fall and/or the features and tech to improve. I narrowed my current list to the Sharp 52 & 46" LCD (LC-52D64U/LC-46D64U), Panasonic 50" 720p plasma (PX series), Hitachi 50 720p plasma (P50S601), Samsung's 46" LCDs and 50" 720p plasmas and of coarse the Holy Grail - Pioneer Kuro 50" plasma even if only at 720p. I almost bought the Pioneer Kuro 5080 when I saw it on sale for $2400. It was a tough decision not to buy it and I still regret it to this day. Now I can not find the 5080 let alone for $2400. That was the one that got away about 4 weeks ago. So I kept on shopping. I came across the Pannasonic TH-46PZ80U .and these were just released to retail. I took the plunge after I saw the picture on the display model. To say it was gorgeous is an understatement and that was with less than optimal component signal in a bright showroom. I got it home and set it up on my new TV stand, I adjusted the picture (eyeballed it for now) and connected the cable and PS3 via HDMI. Threw in the Blu-Ray of "Live Free or Die Hard" and was blown away with the picture quality. Made some minor picture tweaks to suit my tastes and sat down and let it all soak in. I do believe I heard angels singing as I basked in the beauty of 1080p. Blacks were deep and shadow detail was impressive. A review said there is a red push on the PZ85U series but I did not notice it on the PZ80U. There may have been but it suits my tastes if that's the case. I was afraid of glare being an issue with the plasma screen but I really did not notice it too much. It is there if you look for it but it wasn't distracting during the movie even though it was mid afternoon in my bright sunlit living room. Since my living room gets a lot of ambient light, I was leaning towards LCD for this reason only. But the fact that the picture washes out on LCDs as you move off center really bothered me and I could not get over that issue. So I crossed off the LCDs. The Pioneer Kuro did have a slightly better picture overall as I viewed it in the showcased home theater setup @ BB. But it wasn't $1000 better than the Panny. On the PZ80U, sports was flawless on it. No motion blur at all. Not even the 120Hz LCDs can come close to plasmas here. I watch the Red Wings beat Pittsburgh in game 4 of the finals and was in heaven. Watching my beloved Wings in hi-def get a step closer to The Cup highlighted my weekend filled with Blu-Ray and HDTV glory. The PZ85U series has a higher contrast 30000:1 panel but as I compared the 2 side-by-side, I really could not tell the difference between them. Now, I could tell the difference between the PX and the PZ (720p vs. 1080p). 1080p is the way to go! Some will say that you won't be able to discern between 720p and 1080p resolution at 50" or under screen size. Bull!!! Maybe under 42" might be more accurate. But even I could tell on 42" at viewing distance. It was just on the Pioneer Kuro that it really did not matter as much - the picture was that good. The Samsung plasmas in my pricerange had really good image quality and features as did the Hitachi but could not keep up with the Panasonic and Pioneer in the most important area - the picture. Just my opinion. So now you know that the picture on the PZ80U is "all that". Connections-wise, it was a fairly standard package with 3 HDMI 1.3 (one front), 2 component and an SD card reader but no PC input. I like the looks of it but not as much as the thin bezels of the Sharp, Samsung, and Toshiba. The base does not adjust like the motorized one on the Hitachi but its not problem for me. The sound quality from the speakers are decent and will due until I get my surround system. Overall, I'd recommend the Panasonic TH-46PZ80U to anyone looking for a 1080p plasma with excellent picture quality at a reasonable price."

Excellent Value
04/20/2008
By Sharkstopperfrom Florida
What's great about it: Clarity, black levels and showing motion What's not so great: Flesh tones are too red
"This is the second best plasma TV on the market. The Pioneer Kuro Elite is better, but it costs more than double ($5,000 plus). Watching sports or action movies is superb - I could not ask for anything more. I wish that the flesh tones were not so overly red, but I have experienced that drawback with multiple prior Panasonic TVs during the past 20 years. The color quality and video performance are still slightly better than the Samsung, and Samsung does not have a very good reliability or quality control record. I would heartily recommend this product."
