Panasonic TX-P46Z1E

The P46Z1 is a truly stunning television, combining cutting edge design and technology with professional-grade AV standards. To see one in action is to desperately want to own one.

Stunning, slender design ; Excellent picture quality ; Wireless 1080p

It costs a heck of a lot ; The wireless system is external

A benchmark product in any number of ways, but way too expensive for us to fully recommend

Really, truly wireless ; fine facility with motion, black tones and contrasts ; half-decent sound

Eye-wateringly expensive relative to overall performance ; not as slim as it pretends

As a wireless TV, this really fits the bill. Whether it's worth the money is questionable

Desirable and capable, but that price is a hurdle – rivals offer either a better picture or more screen estate for the money

Terrifically dynamic pictures thanks to its 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 600Hz processing, wireless connections box, VieraCast internet portal, 4x HDMI connections

It ain't cheap, wireless transmitter and receiver are a bit unsightly, VieraCast still has limited partners

Wireless' is a slight misnomer of course, since you'll still need to plug it into the mains, but that detail aside, the rest of its connectivity options reside in a separate box which then transmits picture and sound to the screen. This can be done...

Stunningly good pictures thanks to its 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 600Hz processing, wireless connections box, VieraCast internet portal, 4x HDMI connections

VieraCast still has limited partners, wireless transmission boxes could have been neater, and it has a hefty price tag
