Other 2008 Panasonic plasma models to consider….

If you’d like a higher contrast ratio of 30,000:1 (from 20,000:1) contrast ratio and having a PC input then consider the Panasonic PZ85U plasma models.

Moving up to the Panasonic PZ800U models you also gain a swivel base, THX Certification, 24p Cinematic Playback, BBE VIVI HD3D Sound, a HDMI input, increased shades of gradation and the one sheet of glass design.

If you like the idea of adding even more features including VIERA Cast IPTV Capability, Studio Reference Mode, Pro Setting Menu, RS-232C conncetion, AVCHD/MPEG2 playback, H.264 codec and Digital Cinema Color while missing out on THX Certification then you should look at the Panasonic PZ850U models.

Alternatively, if a still well featured base model plasma with 720p resolution and 15,000:1 contrast ratio will fill your needs then the PX80U models are for you.

See the base specification for all 2008 Panasonic plasma models below.

Compare the specifications of the PZ850U, PZ800U, PZ85U, PZ80U and PX80U side-by-side.
