Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800B 50in Plasma TV

 

A big Full HD screen that uses Panasonic's respected plasma technology. Now that does sound good.

It's really tough to know what marks to give the 50PZ800B in the Picture and Overall departments. For on the one hand it's a truly mesmerisingly good HD performer, while on the other its standard definition efforts leave a little to be desired in a...

Panasonic TH-50PZ800 review

 

Panasonic's flagship plasma excels with full HD, but lets itself down with standard-def sources

Good black levels ; Excellent full HD performance ; Plenty of features

Not the best SD performer ; A touch expensive ; IFC feature creates artefacts

Great with HD, but the set's standard-def failings make it look a touch too expensive

Panasonic TH-50PZ800

 

Stunning HD picture quality, excellent connectivity, plenty of features

Intelligent Frame Creation can cause problems with sport; occasional colour tone issues with standard definition, all the quality on offer doesn't come cheap

Panasonic TH50PZ800B / TH50PZ800 Review

 

Panasonic TH50PZ800B is a 50″ plasma television positioned at the high end of the company's lineup. Key features of this model include the Full HD 1920×1080p resolution, a quoted contrast ratio of 30,000:1, and the company's V-REAL PRO 3 processing...

Excellent black level (measured 0.04 cd/m2) ; Suitably accurate colour reproduction ; Renders motion fluidly with minimal motion blurring ; Displays 1080p/24 video signal without telecine judder ; Picture Overscan] control allows for 1:1 pixel mapping...

Lack of per-input settings ; Not enough video controls, especially given the display's price ; No user accessible greyscale control ; Standard-def video processing lacking, no 3:2/2:2 film mode detection ; The usual issues of PWM noise, glass...

Although we were a little disappointed by the lack of image calibration options on show given this display's price (roughly £500 more than the 50-inch PZ80), we were still very pleased with the image quality produced by the Panasonic TH50PZ800B. More...

Panasonic TH-50PZ850

 

If you want to build a top of the line home theater system, the 850U is a good starting place. If you can do without the VIERA Cast web feature, the 800U is essentially the same device without the web interface plus a little bit better picture...

Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A

 

This flagship Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A is just as good as or even better than the Pioneer LX Kuro in many areas and at a far more reasonable asking price, too.

Generally smooth and clean visuals ; Kuro-level blacks and color saturation ; Brilliant sound quality ; Almost flawless motion enhancement ; Four 1080p24-ready HDMIs ; Onboard JPEG and AVCHD playback ; Unique one sheet glass design

Slightly softer pictures due to outer glass internal reflections ; Remote not very responsive ; Limited tweaking options ; Bulky ; Still a little pricey

Conclusion Taking everything into consideration, the Panasonic TH-50PZ850 is mostly on par or better than our reference Pioneer LX Kuro in motion reproduction and features. At almost half the price of its rival plus a proven anti-judder engine, this...
