CNET Editors' review - Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U
  Hide
CNET Editor's rating: 8.7 out of 10
Reviewed by David Katzmaier Review date: 5/23/08 Release date: 5/1/08 The good: Reproduces deep black levels and highly accurate color; excellent uniformity with little false contouring; THX mode obviates in-depth calibration; relatively effective antireflective screen; solid connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input; handsome styling with single-pane design. The bad: Expensive; blacks not quite as deep as the best plasmas; optional 24p mode introduces flicker; fewer picture controls than most HDTVs. The bottom line: With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available.

Description: The Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U is a 50-inch, plasma television. Compared to other plasma TVs on the market, it is midpriced at around $2,215. In general, a liquid plasma display can output more realistic black-levels than an LCD display can. Pros: Has a 3D-Y/C digital comb filter. This is more favorable than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price. (A 3D filter is one of the best types available, and is "motion adaptive," meaning it utilizes a special method for clearing up the moving parts of the picture, as opposed to the static parts.) With built-in HDTV compatibility, this unit can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition. (It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.) The 3:2 pulldown feature of this unit reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD. Cons: None noted, given available product data. Suitability: Made for those who are looking for a stylish, compact TV. Value: Overall, this TV's features are in line with its price.
