diesel Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Am considering a TH-42PZ800A for my FIL, is a buy price of $1800 out of the question in the current market? Shouldn't think so. Panasonic price rise has been put on hold, and the 46" is going for just a tad over $2k ATM, so it would seem achieveable IMO...just depends if the retailers want to play the same game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holden caulfield Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Good stuff. Will head out to the stores next weekend. We paid $2080 for the same set in Sep 08, so with any luck we can cut a fair amount off that in Feb 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's the commercial model and price isn't too inviting to be honest. It's just a display panel, no tuner, no speakers, fewer inputs. It's designed so that you can add in the connection slots you want, but unless you are feeding it through a HD PVR or AVR, I'd personally get the PZ800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slattery Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 The PZ800A is $2699 at Harvey Norman at the moment. If I can score it no deposit interest free for 12 months, I might pick one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can negotiate a better price first, then mention the 12 months interest free. They'll try and say you need to apy ticketed price for that, but if you push hard enough I reckon you can get a discount and 12 months IF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slattery Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 The PZ800A is just about out of stock around the country. I ended up getting a PZ80A instead as it was in stock and considerably cheaper. Very nice set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralf Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I know this has probably been asked a million times before so forgive me... what are the feature differences between the 80A and the 800A.?? I was leaning towards the 800A but with stock so low and local prices now high the 80A is looking like a good option. Throw in the Blue Ray player and I'm very interested. I know there is some sound difference but that doesn't bother me as I will hook up to a surround sound system.... are there any major picture quality differences??

diesel Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Swivel stand, IFC (?), extra HDMI, but speakers on the PZ800 are the same as the PX80 so i assume the same as the PZ80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HDTV Reviews Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Panasonic is one of the best brand for Plasma TV. But everyday, many makes are hitting the market with numerous models of plasma TVs. So, it is best to select your HDTV, whether plasma or LCD, by going through the reviews. They can give you the best idea about the features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everyday, many makes are hitting the market with numerous models of plasma TVs. So, it is best to select your HDTV, whether plasma or LCD, by going and viewing them and making up your own mind. ie, Reviews can be misleading.

When i did my comparison, the only real difference i could see id the 800 has the 11th gen panel vs ???? extra hdmi input (in front) and IFC which can be a pain in the ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
