Date: 2009-02-05 Great TV! I have to give this TV a great rating. I've only had it for a few weeks but so far so good! Excellent picture quality, image tracking, etc. Date: 2009-02-04 Well Worth The Wait !!! Like many in this forum, I spent months doing research before deciding on this TV. I studied several professional review sites, read scores of user reviews, consulted with two audio/visual pros, and of course made the requisite visits to BB & CC. I won't bore you with the reasons why I chose this particular set, as there are some other good contenders. At this point, with so many reviews have already been written, perhaps it would be more helpful to address this TV's supposed negative points, as identified by other reviewers: AESTHETICS - Others have said this set has a bezel/frame that is too shiny & "plasticy", and that the speakers along the bottom of the set are ugly. I was very concerned about this, and wasn't happy with the pics I saw online. Even in the store, I thought these criticisms might be justified. All I can say is, I'm glad I went ahead and bought this set anyway. Mounted on my dark olive wall (Sherman Williams calls it "manatee"), this TV looks absolutely stunning. And the bezel that showed so many reflections in the store does no such thing in my living room, day or night. GLARE - Absolutely no problem at all, and I have two large windows on the left side of the room with only blinds and a sheer curtain blocking the sun. COLOR ACCURACY (red tint on faces) - I did notice this at first, but a little tweaking took care of it, except for rare re-appearances (a guest on Oprah, for example). Even then, my wife doesn't notice it at all, even when I point it out to her. But then, maybe she's just ignoring me. COLOR ACCURACY (greens look flat) - This was pronounced at first, but again a little tweaking took care of it and now the green rendering is actually a strength, with realistic-looking, lush trees and grass. SOUND ("tinny") - Absolute nonsense. I have a great surround sound system, but I only use it for movies and sports. All other programming sounds great through the built-in speakers. NO PIP - Picture-in-Picture would be a nice feature, but I've gotten pretty good at timing the length of commercials when I switch back and forth between two programs. Besides, if you really don't want to miss anything, you can simply use your DVR (what - you don't have one???) to record one or both programs. ONE TIP BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON THE SIZE OF YOUR SCREEN: Note the dimensions of the set, and simulate them on the spot where you will locate the TV. I stuck four post-it notes on the wall to indicate the location of the four corners of the set. This made me realize that a 50" screen would dominate the wall even though the room was deep enough to sit over 6' away. So I switched to the 46" and saved a few hundred $$$. Date: 2009-02-03 Not bad, but expenisve I bought this a few months ago and don't think it was worth the money. It looks great, but definately expensive. Date: 2009-02-02 Love it Great TV, great monitor for the computer, picture is great from the kitchen; heck looks good from outside looking in from the patio. Remote is easy to use. Delivery was fantastic, Excellent price for this TV. Date: 2009-02-01 Awesome TV - Awesome Price - Awesome Amazon Thanks to all who's reviews made my purchase of TH-46PZ85U an easy decision. I finally pulled the trigger after reading all the reviews on Amazon and Consumer Reports. This is a phenomenal TV and the delivery was on time. I did not receive the full white glove delivery as the TV pedestal required assembly and also the delivery Company (Pilot) would not test the TV as it is not included in White Glove. The amazon website has a different description of white glove delivery. But Amazon was awesome with customer service when I had inquiries/questions. The TV colors are brilliant and the picture is awesome. The TV speakers also have a lot of juice and it has been a great experience with the TV in the first 48 hours. I am playing it in standard mode with the brightness/contrast/picture settings under 50... inspite of this the picture is awesome. I checked the cinema/movie mode and the picture is spectacular. I am just taking the precaution of not using all the picture settings in first 100 hours. The standard def picture is great as well. I love the remote that came with this TV as now I have all my gadgets on one device (TV, Cable, DVD player, VCR). The set up of the TV is easy and I think it is a good TV for experts and beginners at the same time. * Price is subject to change. |
