Abstract: Hot on the heels of the TH42PX80 HD-ready plasma television I reviewed just last month, the Panasonic TH42PZ85B – boasting their Intelligent Frame Creation (IFC) and 24p Real Cinema technologies in addition to full HD native screen resolution of 1920 x...
Abstract: We've already looked at - and very much enjoyed - two of Panasonic's 42in Full HD plasma TVs, the TH-42PZ80 and TH-42PZ800 . But that's not the end of Panny's Full HD 42in story, for there's one further model tucked in between: the TH-42PZ85. Probably th...
Stable, lustrous images, especially with HD. Build, finish and spec are all on the money

The PZ85 joins Panasonics PX80 series of Plasmas as one of the most accomplished flat panel TVs we have reviewed. In virtually all areas the PZ85 is outstanding. This performance no longer comes cheap however - this is a mid-level plasma offering fro...
Abstract: While LCD displays may dominate that video wall at your local Best Circuit Shack these days, don’t dismiss the benefits of plasmas. No company has put more R&D into plasma development than Panasonic, and it’s paid off. People may disagree abou...
Impressive contrast ratio. Excellent SD video processing.
Slightly oversaturated colors. Overscan with 720p video sources. No 1080p input with VGA or component video ports.
This latest-generation plasma TV offers upgraded video processing and significantly improved picture contrast over previous 1080p Panasonic plasmas....
Abstract: Finally! A plasma TV manufacturer has attacked the 46" size product category. It's about time as this is a very popular size and LCD TV manufacturers have been dominating it. The TH-46PZ85U is a 3rd level product in Panasonic's lineup for 2008 ...
