    Just like the TH42PX80, the Panasonic TH42PZ85B comes with a separate wedge-shaped pedestal stand inside the box, which requires assembly and sports a gloss black coating. However, the TH42PZ85B one feels more solid and does “swivel”, although to achieve this the entire base of the pedestal needs to be turned

    Intelligent Frame Creation achieves excellent moving picture resolution and flicker-less images. With 50Hz video signal input, the Intelligent Frame Creation achieves high moving picture resolution even in fast-motion scenes. This function makes new frame that was calculated by speed and direction of motion. It allows natural frame-to-frame transitions to occur for smooth motion images with high resolution.

    Review By plasmatvreviews

    The style of the design is rather distinct from other models with its glossy black finish with silver colour beneath the panel that contains a pair of speakers. Towards the back of the TV you can see five cooling fans just near the top of the panel. Though the fans produce some noise, it is compensated with the normal TV sound when the viewer seats himself at a distance of 6 feet away from the TV. You can also find few hand grips at the bottom of the panel for lift the TV with ease. Panasonic TH42PZ85B Plasma TV has a distinguished style of finish that makes it different from others. It comes with a pedestal stand that can be assembled to the TV.

    The Panasonic’s Real Black system (a pre-discharge suppression system) and improved panel production processes combine to reproduce outstanding blacks with superb contrast. Each image is richly expressive, from bright scense, like scorching desert landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Compare the image produced by conventional HDTV on the left to the Real Black image produced on the right
