| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the Panasonic TH-50PZ85U, but we did review a smaller model in the series. | A couple of issues keep its picture out of the top tier, but excellent black-level performance still makes the Panasonic TH-46PZ85U plasma HDTV stand out from the pack. | With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available. | Accurate color helps set apart the excellent picture quality of the Samsung PN50A550 50-inch plasma HDTV. | The Panasonic TH-50PZ850U's color accuracy issues prevent it from topping the high-end plasma HDTV heap, but excellent picture quality and unique interactive features maintain its appeal. |
