Home audio & video forum: Panasonic TH-50PZ800 or TH-50PZ850

I am also waiting on the review of 850U. Right now I am not sure if 850U's picture will be better than the 800U.

No,no, man, you 100% right. I went to Best Buy to see the 800 and the 850 in person and I have to tell you, (maybe it was because it was next to the Pioneer) it looked horrible. . I went in the the color adjust and the blacks were not even close to the Pioneer, they weren't even as black as the Samsung. . The colors seemed fake and cartoony and the feed was the same on all the TV's. . . I even brought a print out of the picture settings that Cnet recommended and I was underwelmed and upset. . . I thought I was going home with a new TV yesterday, and then I saw it.
I did however see the 850, and the picture looked way better. . . Maybe that particular 800 was a lemon, or the feed was screwed up , but it wasn't even the 5th or 6th best looking plasma of it's size on the floor. . Even the lower priced 85 looked better. . . I am gonna have to go to a couple more stores and see the 800 with different feeds just to make sure. . but If this is the case, I will sell my soul and get the Pioneer.

I will begin by mentioning that 'yes, I have a problem with people who side with a company like it was their namesake.' You are right that people at Best Buy don't know much more then what is written on product descriptions BUT ... then you just blow up your worthless argument and go on a rant about nothingness ... Pioneer is begging for Panasonic to make thier panels "go LOOK it up if you don't believe me."

So Pioneer can't compete in this economy, they are more a specialty company then Panasonic (don't believe me, GO LOOK IT UP) and therefore Panasonic's are now superior? Where is your logic?

Who said Best Buy has the best picture display? They have the most (where I am from anyways), and it ends there. You continue on a little 'My friends think I am cool' rant about Wal Mart and Target, but you just sound like a complete idiot - and to top it all off, you end your post in "LOL"

Dude, congrats that you haven't given into the hype about LCD's, but please try and educate yourself with REAL knowledge - Elite's are superior and it's a shame they won't be made anymore, period

Panny did not 'take over' Pioneer. I guess you aren't as 'high tech' as you thought you were (ROTFL).

directtv guy just left, CC installer had done setup to the wrong satellite dish(I have the latest one). Fixed now and broadcast TV HD picture is outstanding. SD picture is just OK. I am sure Bluray or other HD uses would be excellent as well.
