WOW!!!
This is the real deal. Nothing else in this price range comes even close.I have mine hooked up to Direct TV HD. Landscapes colors are perfect. Peoples skin tones are spot on. The sharpest resolution I have ever viewed. Easy to hook up. The THX certification seems to have raised the bar for all other sets. For those trying to decide between LCD and Plasma don't let the issues about distrations from the reflection of objects on real glass scare you. I have a well lighted living room with lots of indirect light and glare is not a factor. The picture seems very natural and organic as compared to the synthetic look of LCD. The speakers and audio are better than average but not exceptional. Perhaps Panasonic will someday combine a THX certified sound system with the THX certified monitor. Swivel stand is a nice feature for no extra money. Very, very satisfied.

Excellent TV
They have finaly gotten the Plasmas right! The 800U has excellent color and clarity with the Black Levels that are just about perfect. The build quality of the TV is sturdy sleek and very nice looking. Just take a look at the CNet review of the TH-50PZ800U and you will find that the 800U line has dethroned the old top flat panel champ the Pioneer Kuro.
I have had the 46PZ800U for 1 week now and I am very pleased, it is simply the best overall plasma you can get in this price range. You would have to spend double the money to get a 9G Pioneer Kuro that would be so close in picture quality to the Panasonic that it would be a waste of money to buy the Kuro.
The THX setting mode in this TV is a real deal winner, it allows anybody to get the TV up and running with a picture quality that is equal to that which could only be obtained in the past if you had a profesional calibration done by a certified ISF technician. The sound quality is excellent, as panasonic has always had the best sounding flat panels the 800U is no different.
The only thing I dont like about the TV is the front acces ports! Some people will love the convience of having two extra ports in the front but for me since I am running short on ports to plug all my HT stuff into I preffered when they are at the side of the TV, that way I can still use them without having wires hanging over the front of the TV. If you have a regular setup this will not be a problem since the rear ports are numerous enough fro 99% of people.
Overall very happy with this purchase and I would recommend you look at the detailed CNet review and decide from there.
