Date: 2008-09-16 50PZ800U Comes As Promised I did quite a bit of research leading up to my HDTV purchase. Initially, I planned to go with the Pioneer Elite serioes because it is supposedly "the best." The fact is that I could not justify the additional cost - $1000 or more - just because it was made by Pioneer. I narrowed the list to Pioneer, Panasonic, and Samsung. I decided on the 800U because it has everything I wanted and needed at a very reasoable price. The btest price at a local retailer was $2700 plus tax. I was able to save $600 by ordering it through Amazon. Other web sites offered it for much less, and I am somewhat kicking myself for not using one of them. But I felt a certain level of comfort going through Amazon. The connectivity, picture quality, and other features work just as described. The picture when using an HD signal via DirectTV is sensational. Date: 2008-09-15 Awesome! I've had this TV for about three weeks and I have no complaints. Awesome picture. HD channels are breathtaking. I've been waiting for awhile to purchase an HD TV and I finally settled on the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U (after much research). So far, it's been well worth my hard-earned money and I absolutely recommend it. The excellent review this model received on C-NET helped seal the deal for me on this TV. Lastly, the online buying experience from Amazon was great. Date: 2008-09-14 Unbelievable TV Our TV arrived yesterday - it's very impressive, both in physical appearance and picture quality. I researched online and in-store for weeks (and more casually for months), and this was consistently a highly rated set. We replaced a 7 yr old 27" 4:3 HD set, so maybe anything would have been a tremendous upgrade. But this set is remarkable. It's very easy to install and cable. Very easy picture setup with the THX mode - I was very attracted to this setting after reading about other users having to spend significant time and money calibrating (I'm not as picky as others about getting the absolute perfect video setup, so the one-stop-shopping of THX was very nice). Also, we use the set's speakers and the sound is just fine - again, we're not too worried about wall-shaking bass or perfect sound, and the built-in speakers are more than sufficient for our needs. I agree with other reviewers that prices should be monitored daily - the price fluctuates daily as do the different vendors selling through Amazon. Date: 2008-09-12 Wow This is a great TV the picture is like nothing I have ever seen. love it you cant go wrong Date: 2008-09-12 Great deal, Great price For the folks looking for a great price, be patient and check Amazon.com daily for the current price. I have seen the cost for this Panasonic model swing from $2200 dollars to $2800.00. It took two months but I got it for the price I could afford with free shipping. Keep an eye out for freight cost, freight can run an additional $200.00 to free, and we all want something for nothing. My TV was delivered a day early; the freight company removed the TV from the shipping container, inspected the TV and took all scrap shipping containers with them. We don't want everyone knowing you just purchased a big screen TV by seeing the shipping container out with the trash. As far as the TV, I'm not an expert concerning specs and such, the only thing I can tell you, the installation of our Xbox, digital cable box, DVD and surround sound was a snap. The picture quality was everything I expected and read about... Our next purchase, Blu-ray!!!
