difference between PZ85U vs PZ80U 42 inch
1442952
There are only two differences (besides price). The 85 has 30,000:1 contrast ratio vs. the 80's 20,000:1. Side by side the average buyer would not notice the difference, and viewed separately definitely not missed. Second, the 85 has an SVGA PC input, which in my opinion is a joke because it doesn't utilize the full 1080p anyway (only 720p at best). You would need a laptop or PC with a video card capable of either HDMI out to HDMI in on the TV, or DVI out using a DVI-HDMI cable for HDMI into the TV to get the full 1080p from a laptop or PC - assuming you even care about using the TV in that capacity in the first place. My advice is save your $$, buy the 80, and put the savings into a new or upgraded HT setup or BD player if you haven't bought one yet. A $218 difference (27% increase in price) for very little benefit is nothing to take lightly.

Thanks Brent...The only big differences I could tell were some of the extras in the packaging and differences in the ear cuff construction.But they seemed to be the same setup otherwise.I went ahead and bought the 428s since, like you mentioned, they were at a price I couldn't pass up.Thanks for the assist!

Hi AD, It is the same lens. PZ means Power Zoom, OSS means Optical SteadyShot. -Anthony

THe 85U is light years ahead of the V series Sony. The blacks are much blacker and the colours are more vibrant on the Pany than the Sony. The 85U is the best bang for the buck of any TV on the market!

I have this TV and the TOC is there; it's just very subtle on the 630. I compared it to the 850 and the difference is that the frame of the 630 blocks most of the light that passes through from the back, keeping the red tinting faint. The 850's frame has a lip where the plastic is much thinner (and clear) so the light passes through from the back much easier and the red shows up more vividly. Take a flashlight and shine it through the sides of the 630 frame around the screen and you'll see the red tint.

AFAIK, the 82X supports the 1.25 meter band but not the 70 cm band, and the 82 supports the 70 cm band but not the 1.25 meter band, and that's all the difference I can see...everything else appears to be exactly identical.

I believe the only difference between the 850s and 860s will be the "touch" color. 860s will have a touch of blue, rather than red. I've seen them already in stores like Best Buy but when will Amazon start to carry them?

Mine replaced the ZyXEL 660, so don't have an answer for that. I can say this about the PK5001Z after a couple of months of use, no problems like I had with the 660. Speed stays constant, no drops, no grief. I stayed with the old 660 after reading all the problems the 5001Z gave other consumers with the initial set-up. The set-up went flawless. With Vista, it was necessary to use the Pin, while newer operating systems, you use the standard key/password

They are essentially the same, slightly different processors (i5-4200U vs i5-4210U).

according to Crutchfield the 8500 series has a screen with a higher density of pixels. It is supposed to be much brighter. I will say that the 6300 is very bright. You can watch it in daylight. You could probably find out more at Crutchfield.com

My guess is probably no difference. I checked the Amazon site and found a WM425 sold by "Anime Dolls" for $139.97 plus expensive shipping. The "Project Features" description says "Heavyweight steel design holds up to 550 pounds" while further down on the same page the "Product Description" says 350 pounds. Buyer beware! My workbench purchased in November 2012 is not of the same high quality of a similar product that I purchased 30 years ago.

My big issue is all the negative discussion on the 750 "Halo" - light leak around the edges.Is this gone on the 850/860? The 850 is slightly cheaper at AZ, only because shippingis free. If the 750 really is a fine tv and the halo is all over statement, then thebetter sound actually helps me. Appreciate suggestions.

I used the 8081(burgundy color) and the reason that I switched to the 8290(new model) was on the 8081 the piece of plastic that holds the blades in place broke off. Maybe the reason behind that is that I dropped them a few times. Anyhow, I really like the newer model. They feel lighter on my hand so that's a plus.

The MZ model is newer. If you go the Eureka store within Amazon there's a call out in the upper right hand corner with an article on the updated GZ and it links to the MZ.

Thank you for trying ... Wish I could get a Direct answer ... The Roundel to 82mm is not helpful ...or as long as it is similar to the 850 ......Just a clear YES or NO response would be helpful ...

The 8500 is a FULL back lit LED as opposed to the 8000s edge lit LED. The full back lit is suppose to be superior and have a more uniform picture but it's also alot more expensive!!!!
