Lacks Samsung Crispness

4.0/10

Overall disappointed with this TV. I have a Samsung LCD that beats the pants off this TV--the Samsung is so much crisper and clearer. In comparison, the images on this Panasonic are so fuzzy and muddied, no matter how I adjust it. Read more

I like watching movies on my TH-42PZ85U. I have panasonic Blu-ray connected on to it and the experience is AWESOME. The TV is so life like its very clear and crisp. The colors are so vivid I enjoy every moment. Its a great TV. There is only one thing con about the TH-42PZ85U is that it does not have much of a choice in screen selections. There are only three Standard, Vivid, or Cinema. The sound of the TV is not so good you may need to install your own speakers. Read more

With all that being said I think this is a great tv and well worth the price. I paid less than 1000 for it and I think that is a steel considering it blows most if not all tvs away in this price range. Read more
- Amazing TV. The best Blacks I have seen on a TV other than the Pioneer's.
- * No Headphone jack. Not a huge problem.
