Panasonic Viera TH-58PZ850U 58-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV Details

So much has already been said about this amazing Plasma so I won't waste words here. After months of research this loyal Sony owner jumped ship.After side by side comparisons and reading countless reviews I determined that the Viera blew the Sony XBR away. The Kuros by Pioneer has priced itself out of the competition for my wallet and to be honest I think you are splitting hairs between the Viera and the Kuros.My dilemna was in choosing between the 58 Inch Viera 800 or the flagship 850U. The lesser priced 800 is the only model of the two that gets the THX certification on it's picture and is priced around 0.00 less. The 850U has the firmware and ethernet connection so that it's capabilities are upgradeable.It currrently has the ability to view your Picasa photo's,watch YouTube videos, and a few other neat things like the one click concierge service for any problems the TV should have as well as world weather. The Vera Link option works seamlessly with my Panasonic 55 Blu-Ray player. I was able to have the best of both worlds. Although Abes of Maine consistantly had the 800 at he best price around. I was able to buy a refurbished 850U that comes with the 90 day warranty from Panasonic.I paid 99.00 and I am so happy I did. This TV is in perfect condition and they pack it like it's the last one on earth. I bought from Just like New Electronics in case you are looking. I'm amazed at this Picture and all the bells ans whistles the TV has. It's has th whole family under it's hypnotic spell.I wanted the cleanest look I could get and replaced my old surround sound system with a Yamaha YSP4000 sound bar. I have no regrets on any of it.By buying the 850U I'm able to stay up to date with all the new ways Panasonic can think of to keep me connected to the world. I love the fact that it has begun to replace my small PC screen and Laptop with 58 inches of mind blowing views. If you can swing it I would not hesitate to buy the 850U. I don't think the lack of THX certification means anything other than Panasonic not wanting to pay the extra money for the Certification in an effort to keep it way under the Kuros.
