Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ85

By Ian Morris (cnet.co.uk)

The Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ85 is another fantastic plasma TV from the company. It excels at high-definition playback, even with upscaled DVDs and gaming material, and has plenty of good features. The sound quality is also fantastic, producing both big ...

Superb picture quality ; brilliant sound ; menus and setup

Boring design ; Freeview quality is lacking

Aesthetically the 46PZ85 is a touch disappointing. Not ugly by any means, but certainly a touch staid in its straightforward black bezel and angular lines.

Mostly terrific pictures, fair price considering the quality on offer, lots of good image processing

Intelligent Frame Creation can cause artefacts if not used sparingly, occasionally some red colours look a little orange

Neatly straddling the gap between 40in and 50in TV screens, this 46-incher gives a lovely big image from its compact chassis

Stable, lustrous images, especially with HD. Build, finish and spec are all on the money

Black levels not up to Panasonic's usual standards

I purchased this set about a week ago and am looking to take it back to Costo as Im not very impressed with the picture quality and sound of it.

Stable, lustrous images ; build, finish and specification are all on the money ; half-decent sound

Not the luxurious black levels we've enjoyed from other Pana plasmas
