Thoughts On Panasonic 85u???? - Blu-ray Forum

PooPantMan · 11-22-2008, 12:41 AM

Does anybody here have the 85u and if so what do you think about it? Are there inputs on the front or is everything on the side? I might buy one tomorrow from Fry's but I might wait until Black Friday to get it if they have it one sale.

I don't own one, but the 85U is generally considered a very good TV. Prolly like most flat panels the inputs will be in back and also on the side.

After trying out samsung, sharp and sony lcds I made the jump to plasma. Best decision of my life. Lcd is straight up garbage when you have a nice plasma set. I own a panny 85u and I must say its the nicest tv for the money. Ive seen a few pioneers that look sliiiiiightly better in black level and does a bit better job with noise but its not worth paying twice as much. I wouldnt trade my panny for any other tv on the market besides a high end pioneer.

Saw this in store at Frys yesterday for 1500 I believe. The source they had it connected to didnt do the tv justice

I bought the 50' 85U last month at Best Buy for 1799.99 with the 4 year warranty added to it. I went from a Samsung DLP to this Plasma. I was debating between LCD and Plasma. Each have their ups and downs based on needs. I am happy with the tv so far. The inputs are at the back along with the side panel as well.

Sounds way high for this TV. Should be only around $1,000.
