Panasonic VIERA TH-46PZ800U

We have had this TV for almost a year. We purchased it off Amazon, but through Computer Barn. I guess if you do that you don't get the white glove treatment? I sure didn't. Anyway, that is water under the… bridge. The pros are, great picture, good sound, swivel base is great, plenty of convenient features. The cons are, remote doesn't work with the peripheral units like we were told it would, But our #1 concern is every once in a while the picture literally just "clicks" off. What's with that? We have the surge protection and the sound stays on, just the screen goes black, then in about 10-15 seconds the picture comes back. I have a call into customer service, I hope it's something simple. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Oh, and I hate that I paid so much for mine, they are now almost 1/2 what I paid. LOL

In complete agreement with other reviewers about the picture. When other ppl (especially with LCDs) look at my TV, they are in awe ... reason is the black levels (which can be seen especially on a good… BluRay and HDNET Tv). A star is subtracted because there's no reason for a TV of this picture quality to have rattling sound at 75% volume. I know most ppl hook up external amp/speakers, but I didn't with this set and I don't like listening to sound from a 74 Chevy Malibu.

We needed a new TV for our bedroom to replace an old CRT that stopped working. After researching Plasma vs LCD we went with Plasma because of the darkness of the room...good choice. Looked at several… Plasmas at different price points by different manufacturers and found this Panasonic a very strong contender against more expensive models. Great picture and the THX settings work better than setting configuration I could come up with so worth the $$ to us. The speakers are tinny but that was to be expected. As for size, glad we went with 46 vs 42 as we are used to a large screen (65") in the family room. One slight negative was the ordering/delivery process. The TV's price dropped by $100 before it was even delivered. Amazon wouldn't credit the difference past a certain # of days but they would allow me to refuse delivery and reorder. Seems inefficient as the TV was almost at my house when I had to start the ordering process all over...their loss. Also, the TV qualified for White Glove delivery/setup. The PILOT delivery guys did a good job bringing it to the bedroom and opening the box so I could inspect but were not going to set it up until I explained the white glove inclusion. They said something about it not being on the slip which sounded like b.s. but it all worked out. Have had the TV for a couple of months now and We love it!!!

I am so thrilled with this TV. It looks even better after 100 hr's+ like other reviewers have said. I was scared with the decisions I had to make; LCD vs Plasma, quality, etc... I am very anal in regards to… picture quality. LCD just did not cut it. I do not understand how anyone can by one with the problem the LCD's have with rendering fast motion. 120Hz, whatever. It is still there. All I can say is I recommend Panasonic Plasma 100%!!!!

([ASIN:B001DSYNB0 Panasonic Viera TH-58PZ800U 58-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV]] Bought the 46 in panasonic plasma TH-46pz800u. Great TV, Very happy with purchas. Good Price. Indicated delivery setup, which… amounted to asking if I wanted it out of the box. Yes? Wanted to see if it worked. I had to plug in and conect the cable connection. They said they could not connect anything to the TV?? Little misleading on the set up issue. Other than the set up very happy with the tv and would recommend it
