Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80U 46" Plasma TV

Buy it without fear or regret!

Strengths: Excellent picture: bright, great color, smooth motion, 1-button adjustments between 4:3 & 16:9, Zoom, Panel and Full. Great Price vs. Quality

Weakness: All minor, but worth mentioning: - no automatic closed caption when muted - fiber optic audio output doesn't adjust with volume button - standard definition broadcasts don't look as good as CRT TVs

I would buy this TV again and I already recommended it to others. The first thing I watched was a rebroadcast the Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony in 1080i. WOW! I purchased this TV after a lot of research and I'm not disappointed. Let's go through the basics: - Setup: Easy. Required 8 screws for the base which is solid and stable, but does not swivel. Then just plug in the connectors and power...

Panasonic TH46PZ80U 46

Strengths: Amazing picture, deep black levels, good color management features, 3 HDMI, 1 HDMI im front. SD card in front, GREAT SOUND FOR A BIG SCREEN

Weakness: None so far

This Plasma ranks with the very expensive ones, I have compared them side by side with other models & this Panasonic was the best. Great deal, you wont be disappointed

Best Value Out There

Strengths: Amazing clarity with HD programming Great aduio Very intuitive controls

Weakness: Standard definition could look slightly sharper Power hog

I did my homework on lcd vs. plasma, I looked at 100's of tvs in the past three months and this by far, for the value, took the cake. You won't be dissapointed. The clarity of HD is right up there wit

Excellent choice

Strengths: Exciting fully adjustable picture, Much better audio than its peers, Impressive picture even in bright ambient light - Even with full south and west window exposures anti glare screen passes test

Weakness: Must reprogram tuner when switching from cable to antenna, no PIP, I'd prefer thinner non-glossy framing

This set is deserving of its high professional ratings and user reviews. It is easy to setup, adjust, and use. The specifications caught my interest, the reviews lured me in, and seeing the picture at a local retailer set the hook. No disappointments with several weeks use. HDMI works without any issues, even with a 25 ft cable. Quality audio fills large viewing area but also has optical audio...

A Great 46 Inch Plasma At A Great Price

Strengths: Superb clarity, color and function. remote control is easily held and operated.

Weakness: Remote has volume and channel change controls reversed left,right.

I almost had written off Plasma HDTVs based on what I had heard of them a couple years ago, even though, the same 2 years ago, my son and I agreed that we preferred the plasma images better than the LCDs. But after I did a recent search on ComsumerReports.org and found that the previous "Burn In" problems have been addressed in new plasma units. I also found that some LCD TVs had problems keeping...

Don't buy!!!! power board will fail

Strengths: everything except the failure.

Weakness: premature failure

Panasonic admits they installed alot of defective boards but will not take ownership.

46" Panasonic is great!!!

Strengths: Great picture, deep blacks, vibrant colors, easy menu controls, HD pics jump off the screen, good sound

Weakness: no so far

I've been a Panasonic TV customer for 25+ years. Purchased this model to replace my 42" EDTV. The store offered me a deal I could not walk away from. Easy setup. The standard picture was a little dull out of the box, but the picture settings within the menu were easy to change and the picture jumps out at you. Just watched the SuperBowl on it and everyone was thrilled with the picture. Thanks!!!

Great Plasma TV

Strengths: Great Price and Shipping was Quick and easy to track progress.

Weakness: None so far.

Panasonic has the best picture and different sizes to choose from. I picked this on because it fits my television armoire like glove. I would definitely recommend this Television or other sizes similar.
