Date: 2008-09-21 Panasonic 42PZ800U Worth Every Penny I spent a lot of time waffling on what plasma to get. I settled on the 42" Panasonic PZ800U, but immediately after ordering it I started to get buyers remorse. Within minutes of hooking up my television I was totally happy with my purchase. I had not been able to preview this model since none of the stores locally carry it so I had hoped it was going to be better than what I had seen and it is. Compared to any other 42" I've seen, and I've seen a lot, it is heads and shoulders better. This is the first large purchase I've made through Amazon. I've been buying books from them forever but I've never bought any consumer electronic devices. I was a little hesitant, but the shipping company used by Amazon was very responsive with making themselves available when it was convenient to me and even helped set the television up. This is a great television. You can get much larger televisions for much less money, but you get what you pay for. The picture on this set is phenomenal. I have an Xbox 360 and a PC connected to it and you can't beat the picture. Well worth the money and buying through Amazon was a breeze. Date: 2008-09-19 42" Panasonic Plasma HDTV (TG-42PZ800U) Delighted with this plasma HDTV. The picture and sound are excellent. None of the picture distortions that are found on some of the larger television sets. The delivery was outstanding. The set was delivered by appointment and the driver brought it into the house and unpacked it and assembled it. Totally happy with the whole transaction. Date: 2008-09-15 Panasonic 42" PZ800U The tv looks great both on and off. The controls are very straight forward making it very easy to set up and start viewing your favorite shows right away. The sound quality is surprisingly good so now thinking twice about getting separate a/v receiver and external speakers. Amazon's delivery service was prompt and professional; unboxing the unit and setting it up in the home. All around a good experience and have no second thoughts. Date: 2008-09-13 Panasonic Plasma TH42PZ800u I have been researching LCD's and Plasmas for two years now and finally pulled the trigger on this beauty. I own two Olevia's one 26 and one 32 and they have been great but I wanted one for the family room and it had to fit in our entertainment center. It was down to the Toshiba thin bexel 46" or this one and am I glad I went with the Panasonic. The sound is great, the picture unbelievably beautiful and the set looks so rich. Front hidden panel hook ups including the 4th HDMI and it swivels. Playing Blade Runner thru my Playstation 3 Blu-Ray and the picture takes your breath away. GET this TV you won't be sorry. Jeff Date: 2008-08-26 Awesome product. Customer support could have been better. As other reviewers have stated this product is a top of the line plasma TV for its size. I've had absolutely no problems with the product and it never ceases to impress me with its sharp picture and accurate colors. I may opt to get it calibrated some time soon in order to get the perfect viewing experience but for now I am pleased with the picture quality. Also you can configure the TV to use any combination of video and audio sources. For instance, I am using a HDMI-DVI cable hooked to an HDMI port to obtain PC video and I have it matched with the PC audio input. I think this is a very thoughtful consideration on Panasonic's part for those consumers who may want to hook up non HDMI sources in a variety of wire configurations. Shipping was fast; however, Amazon did not ask for a phone number and as a result a few days were lost since the shipping company could not get in touch even though I called Amazon customer support and supplied my contact number. Eventually, I had to contact the shipping company to arrange for the delivery. While I have no problems with the product I feel I did not get the white glove delivery that I was promised. The shipping agents just brought in the TV to my living room, obtained my signature and left. I was under the impression they were supposed to unpack the TV and give me the opportunity to inspect it. Instead, they were in a hurry to leave and left as soon as I signed the paperwork. In any case the TV was in good condition and has provided me with breath-taking viewing of the Olympics. Looking forward to football season! PS: The maximum resolution on the VGA PC input is less than the maximum resolution supported by the TV. This is not a big issue since at maximum resolution everything on screen may be too small for viewing (the icons, windows, etc). You can obtain maximum resolution using a HDMI-DVI cable.
