Strengths: Incredible picture. Deep colors. Nice design. 4 hdmi connnections.

Weaknesses:Not pure black. Sound a little lacking. Vierra cast more of a play item rather than valuable. Cheap looking remote.

Overall Evaluation: I bought this tv at a great price from Panasonic direct and am not disappointed. I looked at this product many times in the store and came away impressed. It does not have the dark available in the Pioneer Kuro but it is also quite a bit less. The color is deep out of the box, I plan on fine tuning it shortly. The Viera cast is more of a toy rather than practical at this point, but shape of things to come in the future. The tv is functional, easy to set up, and excellent picture. I highly recommend this tv as a main unit.

Review:

Panasonic TH-50PZ850U 50-Inch HDTV

The Panasonic TH-50PZ850U has fantastic extras, but only average picture quality for a 50-inch plasma HDTV.

The Panasonic TH-50PZ850U is a pretty good value, especially in view of its generous array of extra features. Not only can it display your pictures and run your videos off its SD card slot, but you can plug it into an ethernet connection and enjoy Internet video. This set also does an adequate, though not extraordinary, job displaying movies and TV shows. And at $1700 street (as of April 16, 2009), this plasma HDTV is reasonably inexpensive for a 50-inch set.
