<h4 style="text-align: left;color: red">User Ratings and Reviews</h4>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Big Bank for the Buck</em><br />
                        Big TV, low price, great color, great blacks... if you want to save some money and hold off on getting the 1080p television, you can't go wrong with this 720p monster. And the white glove delivery service was 10 times better than hauling it home from the local electronics store. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Great</em><br />
                        It's simply a great TV, I compared it to my friends 52 1080 LCD Touch Of Red Samsung, and not even for a moment did I regret this purchase.<br />
<br />Phenomenal value/price ratio!</p>
<p>Just be aware of burn in limitations of Plasma TV (zoom in picture when watching 4:3) and have your brightness/contrast settings on 50% or less, an you will be very happy! I had it for over 3 months now and no problems at all.<br />
 </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> AMENDED: If you think you need 1080P in a 50 inch think again !</em><br />
                        Coming from the graphics industry I've always known the spec wars are total ego feeders. At 50 inches 720P is fantastic.  65 inches in the same room and you would be able to see the difference of a 1080P. But not at this size. </p>
<p>If you want amazing HD that is so sharp it will make your eyes bleed...  this is your set !  <img src='http://plasmahdtvreviews.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If you want a TV that displays the free HD Cable channels your cable provider provides WITHOUT a cable box... this is the set.</p>
<p>If you want a set not too big to still watch your SD DVD collection... this is the set.</p>
<p>If you buy products based on proper spec for the format rather than EGO... this is your set.</p>
<p>If you don't already own a surround system and want a reasonable cost system...  Buy at least a nice self powered computer speaker system though cause the speakers on this set stink.  I recommend the Logitech THX rated 5500 series DOLBY/DTS surround with optical input. In a small living room this will rock the couch at $200.</p>
<p>Amazon's delivery was 2 days early...  called for an appointment...  showed up on time.</p>
<p>UPDATE (10/31/2008): I almost want to remove a star.  I want to keep my system simple.  Have a PC Media Center and a DVD player connected via HDMI.  TV has an Optical Out so a single connection for my sound from TV to Surround system seems to be indicated for TV, DVD or PC watching.</p>
<p>WRONG...  This TV will pass my Cable TV 5.1 digital sound to the Surround system.  But it limits DVD &#038; PC to 2 channel stereo only. I am now forced to have independent sound connections to audio system.  Every time you change a source you need to do it twice.  This just should not be the case.  The HDMI should carry sound to the TV and TV should pass it through the optical interface that I paid for.</p>
<p>WORK AROUNDS...  Buy a HDMI switcher that I should not need to buy.  Or buy a programmable remote and spend two days setting it up to run all my devices and teach it to change video source on TV and Audio source on Audio system simultaneously.</p>
<p>BOTTOMLINE...  The TV should allow digital sound to pass through the HDMI to the Optical Output on the TV.  Why they thought passing through 5.1 for a cable TV channel matters more than passing through digital audio for our HD &#038; DVD sources is beyond my understanding.  I'm disappointed.  </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Great Flat Screen TV For The Money!!! </em><br />
                        I looked at all the TV's, both plasma and LCD in the $1,500 or less price range.  The Samsung PN-50A450 is the best TV for the money.  I would have to give Panasonic Viera plasma the number 2 spot, but I have yet to find it in a 50" for $999 with free shipping and no tax.  The Samsung's picture was better than the Panasonic Viera's when looking at them side by side.  The Vizio is not even an option anymore since you can get the Samsung for less than $1000.  I am extremely satisified with my purchase and my friends can't believe I got a TV this size with a picture this good for what I paid for it.  Also, pay the extra $$ and get the HD package from your cable company.  It makes night and day difference.  I don't even watch the non-HD channels anymore. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">1 Star</strong>  <em> Really Upset over this TV</em><br />
                        We had this Samsung 92 days.......and now burn in? Already? The manual states no fixed images more than 5% of the time? well, every station out there has their logo fixed to the screen.<br />
<br />I am really disappointed and mad, feel the tv was just a waste of money.<br />
<br />Have burn in on the bottom and on the left side.<br />
<br />Nice picture though but not worth it if it gets burn in only after 90 days. I also own a 32" Samsung HD LCD that I have in the bedroom, really makes me wonder if it will do the same. The manual for that says the same thing about burn in/image retention......waaaaaa! </p>

<h4 style="text-align: left;color: red">User Ratings and Reviews</h4>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> great TV, good value</em><br />
                        We recently bought the Panasonic Viera 46in plasma TV.  The price was good and the delivery time excellent.  The TV itself has an excellent picture and the controls (remote) are easy to use.  Set-up was a breeze.  This was our first time to buy a large electronic from Amazon.  We are very pleased with the experience and will consider other large electronic purchases in the future. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> My first plasma flat screen</em><br />
                        I've had my Panasonic TH-46PZ80V set for about a month now and love it. It has an amazing picture and none of the glare issues I've read about in other reviews (and our living room gets a lot of direct sunlight during the day).  I'd recommend this set to anyone.  I especially love the insert my camera SanDisk for an instant slide show.  The set even automatically orients the picture.  Amazon had the cheapest price, free delivery, and they even unboxed it and set it up.  Amazing service.  Thanks Amazon.  </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> nice</em><br />
                        The picture is great. I thought my buddy's HP plasma was awesome...i didnt know anything. the surround sound even sounds great, though don't expect much in terms of bass. I have a double window about 4 ft from the TV and i havent felt any glare problems at all.  I use FIOS, and my friends with comcast are stunned. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Best picture ..by far for the price</em><br />
                        After researching flat screens for the past 6 months or so (and watching the prices fall), this tv out shined all the others.  The LCD TVs I looked at in this price range fell far short in picture quality, contrast, and motion detail.  Panasonic has shown in tests by [.....] to have produced some of the best picture quality in the industy.<br />
<br />I picked it last week and the TV looks awesome!<br />
<br />Highly Recommended! </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Great TV</em><br />
                        After lengthly investigation, we bought this instead of an LCD Sony or Samsung because we though the LCD screens might get damaged too easily by our small children.  After a month or so of use, we are very pleased with the Panasonic plasma.  Great picture.  No evidence of burn in.  No significant problems with reflections, partly due to where we happen to use it.  Only two small gripes:  1) For some goofy reason, Panasonic puts the channel up/down toggle on its remote controls where the volume up/down usually goes (on the left side), and its volume up/down where the channel up/down usually goes (on the right side).  The remote is otherwise nicely designed.  2) The TV includes an SD card slot, which you can load up with photos, etc.  They look great, but there is no random play feature on it, so if you have 500 photos on the card, you will always see Photos 1, 2, 3, etc; but never see Photos 498, 499, 500!   </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> OMG (Oh My Gosh) What a TV!</em><br />
                        Ok, I am not a pro by any means.  I am just your average person when it comes to electronics but I LOVE this TV! I am still amazed and can't get over the quality of the picture.  I do my research ahead of time and frankly I agree with all the people who rate it tops.  For those who don't like this tv, I have to ask WHY? The colors are great, picture is great and the small bezel allowed me to put it in a space the other 46" lcd tv's would not fit.  Out of the box set up was easy.  I went through the menu and settings no problem. I did have a question that I couldn't find the answer for in the manual so I called the 800 number.  The phone didn't even ring on my end and I had a real live human being on the other end.  How often does that happen?  He was very helpful and nice. I bought it from amazon.com since they were an authorized etailer recommended by Toshiba and the price was better than my local store could even get it for.  I had it within 8 days of ordering.  This was my first major purchase on-line and I can say it went very smooth.  Want to invest in a winner?  I did! </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> The Right Price</em><br />
                        No problems so far. Tv is on for a good 12 hours a day. Highly Recommend.  </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Great TV</em><br />
                        I was a little leary about buying a TV online and going off reviews but I love this TV and the delivery was great they were very gentle with it. The picture and sound is both great. Watching a movie in 1080i is spectacular. We also use the Wii, Xbox 360 and a media computer I just built with it and the graphics are crystal clear. I recommend this TV for the price and quality. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> great plasma to get until more 1080p content is widely available</em><br />
                        I went in shopping for a 58in Panasonic or 60in Pioneer plasma with a  $3000-4000 budget that I'd keep for  at least five years like our last tv.  While comparing how the picture quality in person looked, the price of this 50in Panasonic TH-50PX80U caught my eye at $1300.  Sure it's 720p, but we're at least another year or two out for content in 1080p to be more available especially via cable.  I already had a bunch of non blue-ray dvd's and I simply didn't value the improvement that blue-ray dvd's offer to either buy or even rent them.  Yes, the blacks looked better on the Pioneer, but only when you're comparing side by side.   </p>
<p>I almost still went for the newest 58in Panasonic just because the exterior design is a lot slicker with it's large continuous flat surface.  However, when Amazon randomly dropped the price to just below $1000 with free shipping, I couldn't resist.  Combined with the $250 in Amazon certificates I already had, I got an awesome 50in Panasonic plasma for $750.  </p>
<p>I just received my TH-50PX80U and the delivery went very smoothly.  Picture is incredible and all thoughts of 720p vs 1080p and black levels are gone.  Only surprise is the location of the 3rd hdmi port which is in the front.  I planned on plugging in my cable, dvd player, and apple tv via hdmi but  I don't' want any wires out front.  So for now my apple tv is plugged in via component cords which isn't bad actually.  If I really want a larger screen in the future, the $2000+ I saved now should be about what the 58in Panasonics will cost next year.   </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Best Picture for the Money</em><br />
                        This TV is everything it says it is and more. The picture is ultra clear and i have zero complaints. I recently purchased my 50 inch Panasonic TV from Amazon .com. I was sceptical at first because i was not to sure about spending this much money over the Internet.The shipping was fast and everything i expected. When i first turned the TV on i was amazed. The picture is perfect and you would never know that it was not a 1080p TV. I run a HD receiver from my cable box and a up converting DVD player. The sound and easy to use remote are also very good. Overall i am very pleased with the great picture quality and service i got with amazon.com. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Could not Have Asked for More!</em><br />
                        We purchased a Panasonic 50" plasma from Amazon.  The transaction was simple and straight forward and the delivery came on time.  We researched the set on line and at stores and found Amazon very competitive in price and they lived up to their reputation on delivery.  The set arrived the day it was scheduled and in perfect condition.  I checked back with Amazon after the purchase and the price dropped.  When I contacted them, there was no hesitation and I received over $120 refund.  With that and the savings originally, we purchased a Wii and now we are having some fun! </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Great New Generation LED Backlight LCD  HDTV!</em></p>
<p>I've had this for a month now. I also bought the Samsung BD-P1500 with it. I love both units. I connected them to my Sony HT-CT100 soundbar and I am perfectly happy with the sound. Yes, I know the soundbar does not do HD sound,etc,.. but I don't care because the soundbar is quite slick with the TV. Plus, it does what I want it to do so no complaint. </p>
<p>As for the TV. The picture is so crisp and clear and the black level really black that it took a while to get used to watching it. I have a DirecTV HD DVR attached to it too via HDMI and it is an entirely different level of watching TV. The images look so "real" as my daughter said. </p>
<p>I know the TV can do a lot of other things if you attach it to the internet. But, I bought it really for just watching HD TV and movies. So, I was/am not that concern about its other functions.</p>
<p>Right now, DirecTV just upgraded my DVR to 1080p, so I can't wait to see any program or shows in 1080p. But the 1080i resolution is great as it is. So, no complaint in there either.</p>
<p>BTW, the upconversion from the BD-P1500 looks great too. Also, make sure you use HDMI 1.3b cables. I got mine here from BargainCell for < $10 each.  </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> It rocks brother - but not as a computer monitor (my bad)</em><br />
                        Well, I have been a CRT guy for a long time.  I always thought that I would not really care to have HD over normal TV.  I mean, yeah, the picture would be better but once engrossed in a show, well, would I really care if it is HD?  And the answer is - as I expected - not really.  However, that is just me.  </p>
<p>As far as this TV goes, its fantastic!  Great picture, great features - comes with a VGA type plug so you can run your computer into it easily if you don't want to go HDMI for some reason.  Sound is okay - not anything noteworthy.  But really, it is an excellent TV.</p>
<p>Also - there is no noticeable glare that people are always concerned about.  I have windows behind me so when the TV is off, I can clearly see them.  When on - I don't notice them at all so don't worry about the glare.</p>
<p>The bad:  Note that the bad is about all Plasma - not this TV.  First - I bought this to be a computer monitor more than a TV (I am using it right now as a matter of fact - from my couch - very nice).  I did not do my research though - very bad.  Plasmas are known to have pixel memory.  Although better than it was in past years, when you are on the internet for hours at a time - some parts of your screen never change - X in top right corner, window frame all around.  For that reason, I wish I had gotten an LCD and would recommend the same to people looking to use this thing as a humungo sized monitor.  I am guessing that I will screw it up being a software guy.  Also - it is a power hog of course - also par for Plasmas.  I don't have to run the furnace in my house anymore <img src='http://plasmahdtvreviews.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />   jk</p>
<p>That said, as a TV, this thing is great - but I always expect that from Panasonic. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Very pleased.</em><br />
                        We are very happy with our new TV. The image is awesome and size appropriate for us. It arrived promptly and we can't be happier! </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Awesome TV!!!</em><br />
                        First of all, Holy Crap!!  The picture on this tv is phenominal.  I did a crazy amount of shopping and studying before I finally made my decision on this tv, and I'm glad I did.  Plasma is way better than lcd and they happen to be less expensive.  I am also impressed that this tv happens to be Energy Star qualified.  Couldn't be happier. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Unbeatable Value</em><br />
                        First things first.  Open the box and make sure the screen isn't cracked before you let the shipper leave and before you sign anything (shine a flashlight on it and any cracks will show up immediately).  I learned that the hard way the first time I purchased this set (from another vendor).  Also, I believe Amazon requires the shipper to unpack the TV, plug it in and verify that it is working before they leave although in my case the guy wanted to leave without doing this and I went ahead and let him.</p>
<p>There's not much to say about the set itself except that it looks fantastic.  I'm watching movies and playing games in a completely dark room and the black level is excellent.  You should do at least a basic calibration of the brightness and picture (contrast) settings using a calibration disk for optimal quality (there is a free one you can find on the AVSforum, or you can buy one).</p>
<p>As with all Plasmas, you have to watch out for image retention, but I haven't found that to be an issue at all.  The instructions offer extremely conservative advice on breaking in the screen to avoid image retention (100 hours of full-screen viewing content with no black bars, sports or stock tickers or video games with fixed elements of any kinds, then another 900 hours of limited viewing of such content).  Personally, I ran a break in program for 75 hours, started using the set for video games and movies (with black bars) and I just run the break-in program all night after any bad content.  I'm now up to 200+ hours now and haven't seen a speck of image retention or burn in.</p>
<p>Highly recommended. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> PANNY PLASMA BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK</em><br />
                        Went to BB to originally buy a 1080P 50 in Samsung Plasma or a  1080P 120Hz LG. Talked to the BB rep and they told me, "I would rather get a Panasonic 720P than a Samsung 1080Por LG 120HZ!" WHAT I THOUGHT!! Then she explained to me that the Panasonic has a 480Hz subfield drive, whereas the LCD's I was looking at were only 120Hz.  She explained to me Plasmas have come along way and there's no issues with BURN INS and GHOSTS like the first gen Plasmas.  Panny has an automatic orbiter and anti-image rention options set up to combat these issues!!!She showed me a calibrated Panasonic 720P and it BLEW the Samsung and LG AWAY!! But I was not set on buying 720P. I wanted the 1080P. </p>
<p>Left BB and came straight to Amazon.com (Amazon was almost 500 cheaper than BB, plus you pay no tax!!), however when I bought my TV they we didn't offer free shipping.  I ended up buying [...] in August (best price I found on the internet)(EASY TRANSACTION, plus free shipping, no tax). NOw I see the Tv's alittle under 1500, but Football season was coming up and I wanted to see the new season in HD!!! </p>
<p>I still haven't gotten my plasma calibrated, waiting for a buddy from BB to do it for free (its been 2 months and I'm still waiting!! haha what a friend).  TWO drawback ARE 1) I'm realizing I wish it had 4 HDMI inputs and 2 the sound is LACKING (I guess cause its only 20W's), i've decided to buy myself the Panasominc 960 HTIB for Christmas!!!</p>
<p>I have no issue with HEAT!!! I have no issue with GLARE!!! I have no issue with Ghosting or burning!!!</p>
<p>BUY IT especially since it has the 480Hz subfield drive and you can't beat the price at under [...]!!! It came out 8 months ago retailing for nearly a grand more!!!</p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Great LCD TV</em><br />
                        This TV replaces a rear-projection 55 inch Mitsubishi. That TV was bleeding edge at the time, but now its firewire, separate HD input, and lack of 1080p have already made it near obsolete.  This new TV operates with its features all streamlined.  All channels are on the same input (if you didn't have an older HDTV then this won't mean much).  </p>
<p>The picture -- well what's there to say.  It looks great.  If you're super super nit-picky then you may notice some blooming in dark scenes with white lettering or high contrast.  But the deep black level makes up for it.  And at this point in time, LEDs are not as small as a pixel - will they ever be?  The screen is quite shiny, which causes some reflections during the day.  </p>
<p>I don't notice the off-center difference that much as my viewing area is fairly narrow.  And by default it comes with auto motion turned on which I personally detest.  It makes film look like video.  I turned it off for all inputs.  I DO like the cinema look and I believe it comes pretty darn close to the settings you'd achieve using a calibration tool like Avia.  I have not done this yet, so this is just a guess, but it looks good for a preset!</p>
<p>I hooked up the ethernet cable and the instant weather and news is nice, but the picture slideshow coming from my desktop (this needs software that runs a 'server') doesn't display my 12 megapixel images large enough. They look like tiny thumbnails.  The TV is supposed to be capable of much larger images. What gives?</p>
<p>However, those are little annoyances at features.  The picture quality is amazing with HDTV and with a bluray player viewing 1080p material.  The input selection is huge and works great with my older non-upscaling dvd player and my older 5.1 receiver.</p>

                          46" widescreen HDTV (16:9 aspect ratio) * built-in digital (ATSC) and analog (NTSC) tuners for over-the-air TV broadcasts (antenna required) * </p>
</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;color: red">User Ratings and Reviews</h4>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> I would give it 4 1/2 if I could.....</em><br />
                        For the price, this TV is all most perfect!  After MONTHS of researching I bought this puppy last weekend and the picture is just amazing.  I have friends that have spent $2,500+ on HDTV's last year and this one blows them away.</p>
<p>Don't let people tell you this is a great "entry level" or "mid-level" T.V., because I have seen Pioneer's elite brand and I can tell you that most people will not be able to tell the difference.  </p>
<p>Sure if you are a videophile (or work for cnet) you will be able to tell the SLIGHT difference in picture quality and response (oh! Look for that millisecond in the corner of Star Wars, you can actually see the rendering of the ship, wow!  That is worth the extra $2k!).</p>
<p>To me, spending double (or sometimes even triple) for a picture quality that I *might* be able to tell the difference on *some* movies seems to be a waste to me...I rather spend it on my audio system where I can tell a REAL difference.</p>
<p>So why only 4 1/2 stars out of 5?  Read on:</p>
<p>Pros:  Price is awesome (bought mine at ABT for $1199 and got a free Bluray player).  Picture is just awesome, it blows away "mid-range" Sony, Samsung, Sharp HDTV's.  Unless you are planning on paying 3k+ for an HDTV, you will be wasting your money to buy something more expensive.</p>
<p>Cons:  Here is where I take half a star off, sound.  The sound is not terrible and it doesn't ruin the T.V. however, it just isn't up to par with other sets I have listened to.  I am not sure how to describe it but it sounds "thin" if that makes any sense.  Some people might not like the fact that it only has 3 HDMI ports but that seems plenty for my setup.</p>
<p>So you should buy this TV if:</p>
<p>-You do not mind that it only has 3 HDMI ports<br />
<br />-You will be hooking it up to an AV receiver or external speakers of some sort<br />
<br />-If you do not plan to hook it up to an external sound source, you do not mind that the speakers are lacking (they don't have that "full sound" to them).<br />
<br />-Looking for the "best bang for your buck"</p>
<p>Again, I do not see the reason to spend any more money UNLESS you need a bigger screen or need the 800 Panasonic series because you need 4 HDMI ports or need to connect your TV to the internet to get the latest weather and stock reports.</p>
<p>Just my 2c<br />
 </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Very good HDTV</em><br />
                        Pro:<br />
<br />I settled on this HDTV after much research.</p>
<p>If you want an HDTV that can be used as a monitor, this is a good one because there is a setting for overscan.  Overscan is the amount of picture your digital TV will cut off.  Then it resizes the image, then displays it.  If you have a true 1080p source, you want to eliminate overscan so you are displaying every pixel of input (for actual 1080p Blu-Ray or computer input).  The problem is that this setting is buried in the menus, and is not easily accessed.  An improvement would be to put this as a button on the remote.</p>
<p>You DON'T want this setting activated when watching normal TV because there is garbage at the top and bottom of most TV signals.  Having this setting on displays the garbage!</p>
<p>Another reason I picked this HDTV was for sports viewing.  I'm a sports junkie, and watching 720p input from ESPN or ABC looks great.  The TV scales this input very well.  I can even zoom in and the 720p signal zoomed looks good.</p>
<p>A word on blur:  There is no blur on a plasma.  LCD screens can make a tiny amount of blur.  Great.  But when I watch the sports shows I normally watch, the broadcast has a slight amount of blur from camera motion and perhaps poor image processing.</p>
<p>The only thing you might want to consider if you're considering this TV is getting the next models up, which are the Panasonic TH-46PZ800 or TH-46PZ800 models.  Both will display 24Hz, which is what Blu-Ray movies come in.  This is only needed with Blu-Ray - HDTV is in 60Hz.  The 24Hz display mode will result in smoother Blu-Ray viewing.  If you don't get this, the Blu-Ray player must be set to 60Hz output, and the change from 24Hz to 60Hz can be a bit choppy, and result in "judder" during some panning scenes.  Ask a Circuit City or Best Buy employee to show you, and you'll see.  Or don't, and you'll probably never ever notice.</p>
<p>Also, the sides of the TV are a little larger than I think they need to be.  There is a good 2.5" border of "frame" around the picture; I'd prefer 1" or less.  Go check it out at a big box store, and see for yourself - this is simply a question of taste.</p>
<p>Other models I considered:  Sony's 120 Hz LCD 46 inch, Samsung's LCD TVs, Toshiba's 120 Hz 46 inch LCD.  All had slight blurs, so I went with plasma.</p>
<p>If you're worried about plasma screen burn in, do some research.  This TV will shift the picture up and down to avoid that effect, and will also turn OFF if the picture is from the same channel for too long.  From what I've read, that almost totally eliminates burn-in issues. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Excellent tv</em><br />
                        I had spent many months searching for a tv for my great room. After doing a significant amount of research I decided to go with the 46" Viera TH-46PZ85U.  I'm impressed by the overall quality of this product as I have been a fan of Panasonic tv's for a while but the picture on this is amazing.  I have mounted it on the wall paired with a polk audio 5.1 home theater setup and I feel as though I'm at the theater.  Very deep blacks and watching the NFL on Fios TV is like being at the game. i would recommend this tv to anyone.   </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Plasma vs LCD</em><br />
                        I've owned the Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ85U 46" 1080P PLASMA HDTV for a little over a month now and it is awesome.The picture is even better than I expected and is worlds away from the old 32" Sony WEGA CRT television I had been watching for years. You really don't appreciate what you had been missing before the plasma flat screen.Broadcasts in 480i almost make you shy away from watching once you get spoiled by high def. We have only been to see one movie since buying the TV. I'd rather just rent movies at home since I added the Bose 321 system (which is not a must).The TV speaker quality is very good-much better than most, but now it's like a miny theatre at home.<br />
<br />Everything on the TV is very user friendly and I have no problems whatsoever with glare, burn-in, or heat that some people claim is associated with a plasma. You can't go wrong with this HDTV. I researched a lot and spend several trips comparing TV picture quality and features.I was leaning toward it or the Samsung LCD. I've seen the picture quality of my freinds Samsung 550 LCD and it's good too, but for the money ....I'll take my plasma.Panasonic claims 100,000 hours before the plasma screen begins to loose half brightness where all the others are rated at 60,000hrs.Amazons white glove service and Panasonic's Viera plasma get an A rating from me. I am very happy with my purchase and will gladly do it again in the future.Overall...very pleased. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> Excellent TV</em><br />
                        I did a lot of research for both LCD and plasma. At the end I had two strong candidates, the Sony Bravia and the Panasonic Viera. After a side by side comparison at a local store I decided to go with the Viera. I purchased the unit a month ago and I'm very happy with my choice of the TV and purchasing from Amazon.  Delivery company delivered on the date and time promised. Performance so far has been flawless. Colors are rich, warm and the image quality is awesome. Watching NBA games in high definition takes TV watching to a new level with this plasma TV. Just turn your lights off at nightime and watch your favorite sport and you'll see what I mean. Highly recommended. </p>
