CNET editors' take

Reviewed by:

Reviewed on: 04/18/2008

Although CNET did not review the 50-inch Panasonic TH-50PZ85U, we did review the 46-inch Panasonic TH-46PZ85U. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Panasonic plasma HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 46-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 50-incher will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Panasonic TH-46PZ85U.
