It's no
103-incher, but Panasonic's 65-inch
TH-65PZ800 is rather imposing in its own right. The delighted critics over at
Trusted Reviews were able to sit down with the monster recently, and needless to say, they fell in love with the gentle giant. Pretty much everything from top to bottom on this set was smiled upon, with the Wide Color Gamut technology in particular proving exceptionally praise-worthy. Incredibly enough, the set actually handled SD content just about as well as HD content, which is pretty remarkable for a panel of this stature. In the end, critics noted that it was "really tough to come up with anything seriously negative to say about the 65PZ800," and it was also stated that while it may not be quite as amazing as the Pioneer [KURO], it gets "startlingly close while costing less than [they] thought possible."

That article is actually really wrong. Simply because they reviewed a TH-65PZ850u.
there is no 65 incher in the 800 series which is the THX branded series. There were a lot of people bummed out by the fact that they couldn't get it in 65 inches. I have the 58PZ850 and love it.
But the 850 has the wider color gamut (DCC), HD movie playback through the SD card, and an RS232 port all of which are not in the 800 series. It also because of DCC doesn't have THX certification.
trustedreviews is based in the uk. the tvs they review on their website, like the pz800, may not be the same as the pz800 we carry in the US. you should do a little homework before you post truculent comments.
well if they denoted the the full model number TH-65PZ800(B) then maybe I would of seen it. This website for the most part is a US based website, and if you go to the AVS forums, you will see plenty of people begging for the 800u THX series in a 65 inch.
Its an honest mistake.
