TVs Panasonic TH-42PZ85U 42" VIERA 1080p plasma HDTV

NOTES: This television was in a vacation home in Tahoe that wasn't used a lot. Plenty of life left on this magnificent screen. Panasonic made the best Plasmas back in the day. DESCRIPTION: No company has done more to refine plasma TV picture quality while also lowering prices than Panasonic. The 42" TH-42PZ85U delivers a stellar picture, yet is one of their more affordable 1080p models. For 2008, Panasonic's #1 goal was improving picture contrast. The "PZ85" models display strikingly cinematic images with velvety blacks and an ultra-high contrast ratio of 30,000:1. And that's the "native" contrast ratio, which is a better indicator of real-world performance than the more common "dynamic" contrast spec.
