I'm only going to comment on the rear connections. Only one set of component in, which is fine because anyone who wants to use this great TV, should have updated equipment. But my cablebox ONLY has component, so I can't use any other outdated systems...everything else must be HDMI to take advantage of TV. Since this is a bedroom tv, not a big deal.

Next...audio quality is poor. Which is fine because most ppl who have a nice TV will support it with extra speakers. I bought the TVee Soundbar because it's simple and doesn't need a receiver. Well...the TV only has ONE audio out. and it's a digital (Toslink) audio out. Website says TWO audio out. I guess they're counting the headphone jack. Looks like panasonic got a little lazy and didn't bother to include support for older devices. Now I'm up a creek because I'll either need to buy a toslink to rca converter or take the dive and get a receiver....but who the heck has a receiver in the bedroom?!

I've had this set for nearly a year now and i could'nt be more happy with it. The picture quality is outstanding, looks great mounted on my wall, and the price was right. I originally bought a Samsung, 52 inch, 850 series lcd tv which had a very bad clouding issue and also had very weak speakers. I returned it to Amazon and chose this plasma set instead. I tell ya, for those who say plasma tv's are not the way to go anymore are mistaken. The black level's on plasma's are superior to lcd tv's, and in my opinion, they have more of a realistic picture. I am totally satisfied with this tv and im glad i made with switch to plasma. I give it 5 stars.

I have had the Panasonic TH-50PZ850U for about 6 months. I spent about 00 with extended warranty. So far, I have been impressed. The resolution was top notch. I used "Finding Nemo" to test the colors. On the vivid setting it was fantastic... Probably a bit exaggerated. The Studio ref mode offers more accurate colors. The THX settings on the 800U may be more accurate, but I would love to have a little bit of oomph to the colors even if it is not accurate. Don't we all like "exaggerated fake ones"!
Clearly this TV is a winner. It comes close to the blacks in a pioneer and the THX accuracy of the 800U. It matches the Brilliant colors of a Samsung or probably even better. It has improved energy savings, better anti glare screen, wider viewing angle, and a web interface via viera cast. I am going to set up the viera cast soon. I cannot find another TV that packs more.
The speakers are great. I moved to a smaller home and had to keep the surround speakers in storage, but I don't feel the need for them.
It is easy to assemble and set up. You won't need a professional. I bought an upconverting DVD player to watch all my old DVDs and the difference is obvious. I am yet to watch Blu-ray movies. I am waiting for a good blu ray player that can also play movies stored on an external hard drive through a USB connection.
Like others have mentioned, the only bug - if a player is connected through a HDMI port it will switch out another that is connected via component cables.
