"Best quality TV I have ever purchased. I've bought two prior plasma sets and two prior LCD sets from various manufacturers and the Pansonic TH-42PZ85U is the best purchase I've made on a TV so far.

The picture quality is on par or better than some of the top-of-the-line LCD and Plasma models from competitor's sets. Fast motion images looks incredible and Panasonic just knows how to make a plasma panel the way the should be made.

The colors are almost spot on perfect, the contrast ratio is amazing, and the blacks on this set are almost "ink-like".

The remote is the easiest remote I've ever used that's come with any set I've purchased and the options that Panasonic have included with this set are plentiful. The entire package is near perfection and the price for this unit are not only affordable, but downright worth every penny.

Now if only I could get one of those new PZ850U models."
