Panasonic TH-42PZ81B review

 

Panasonic has released the first range of TVs with built-in Freesat tuners

Three tuners including HD sat ; Basic multi-sat support ; Easy setup

No motorised dish support ; Freeview EPG looks bland compared with Freesat

A multi-talented and fully-featured TV

Panasonic's Freesat HD sets still offer a unique proposition, but it ultimately falls short of delivering a complete, quality all-rounder

Freesat HD TV ; HD off-air content looks great ; strong Freeview tuner ; solid sound ; pleasing, natural colour balance

Standard-def Freesat content is a little soft ; video images haven't quite got the all-round sparkle

Great features and stunning performance from Panasonic's 'Freesat' enabled plasma ..

The TH42PZ81 is an excellent screen in its own right with class leading HD pictures and above average SD performance. Add the convenience of integrated Freesat and you have a very desirable, albeit a slightly expensive flat panel TV.

Superb picture with both HD and SD content. Built-in freesat tuner works well

Well it was pretty expensive I did not realise how little HD content is on Freesat, but that's not really the fault of the TV is it, and it should increase over time

Panasonic TH-42PZ81B

 

Superb image quality. HD is breathtaking. Even SD is good when viewed using Freesat. Definately worth getting Plasma - far fewer artifact problems than on LCD. The black level is also far better than on LCD. I have waited until now for the...

Not many bad points really, except it would be nice if panasonic could supply a couple of freestanding wing speakers to improve the slightly inferior sound quality for people who don't want to invest in a full 5.1 system.
