 Nice TV - Amazon Delivery Excellent August 9, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I waited a LONG time to get an HDTV to let the crazy prices get more reasonable. After researching recently, I decided on a plasma and the Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ85U seemed to be the plasma to beat at the $1500 price point. I had some reservations about buying over Intenet. However, I've had nothing but good experiences with Amazon and when they ran a 0% interest special with free shipping and a price that was only about 5% more than the "too good to be true" NY/NJ schmucks, I decided to buy. I'm glad I did. The delivery fellowrought the unit in the house, unboxed it and made sure it was perfect. He then showed by how to install the base and offered to do it for me, which I gratefully declned. The picture on this TV is fantastic, it's got 3 x HDMI (all used) and it's not overburdened with whiz-bang features that run up the cost for no good reason. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! THANKS AMAZON!

Just recently purchased this tv (unfortunately, not on Amazon) and I completely love it! Made all the connections and tested all the inputs and it looks fantastic. The black levels are completely outstanding! I did a lot of research before buying this TV and I do not regret it. I was in a bind between LCD and Plasma and after comparing picture quality and reading many reviews and opinions, I believe the Plasma is the better choice. I have seen the differences and LCD just doesn't compare, especially when it comes to name brands like Panasonic.
The picture quality of the set looks amazing! Even an upscaled dvd at 1080p looks closely, but of course nto quite, like blu-ray. I tested the Transformers 2007 Movie upscaled and the detail looked really nice! Blu-ray movies look sweet as well! For the test, I played Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and I was impressed. Sound quality is also very good. I am using this tv for my bedroom (which is pretty large) so I don't have a home theater setup but even then, the TV set still sounds sweet. Unfortunately, you cant tweak with the picture settings as much as other sets, but the tv already looks good with tweaking (but I tweaked it anyway).
I would recommend this TV for anyone who is in the market for tvs at this size. However, 1080p shouldn't be a deciding factor if you are looking for something smaller than 46 inches. I would also recommend going Plasma over LCD when it comes to TVs this size and larger. LCD just doesn't cut it. Overall, this TV is simply AWESOME! You will not be disappointed!
Pros:
-Black levels are outstanding!
-Picture quality is top-knotch!; game, DVD, blu-ray, etc...
-Nice sound!
-Multitude of inputs!
-Screen barely shows any reflection
-Handy remote control
Cons:
-Weight (which is expected from a plasma)
-PC input doesn't support 1080p resolution (downconverts to 720p res) *have to connect thru dvi->hdmi to get 1080p res.
-Side buttons w/ SD card input in an inconvenient location
 Great Product July 22, 2008

I am glad that I purchase this Plasma TV, Very Nice product, good quality
Very cinematic images, with terrific black levels and Screen is less reflective than most....
one bad things is Noise reduction is not as effective as it could be..
and Fewer picture controls than many other HDTVs
Rest all wonderful...my family is enjoying now..

Great size at 46 inches; shipping no problem July 20, 2008

I ordered this Panasonic Viera Plasma HDTV late on Sunday, and it was delivered on the next Friday: 5 days for shipping. I read reviews about the shipping service, so I called the shipper to keep updated on the package location. The final, local shipping driver (Minnesota) was helpful to set this on its bracket and check to see if the TV worked -- I asked him to help.
I compared 42, 46, and 50 inch Vieras at the nearest store, 60 miles from me, and when I saw a 46 inch next to a 50 inch, I knew this was the size for me.
Works beautifully, evident on the digital channels we do get, and with a DVD playing. The bracket/stand is easy to mount: have a large, secure, padded surface to lay the TV on; you need a Phillips screwdriver, and two (three is better) people to turn/hold/attach bracket the HDTV.
