HD picture quality; impressive connectivity; plenty of features

Expensive; some standard definition pictures look slightly rough; no sound with 1080p/24 feeds; reds can look slightly orange

The addition of a full HD pixel count improves the picture quality of this Panasonic model over the brand's standard HD ready models. But whether the advantages really justify the significant extra cost is open to debate

Anyone after a really bigscreen TV should consider this exceptional Panasonic plasma

Size; superb 1080p performance; Great virtual-surround audioscape

No RGB fine-tuning through GUI; No native 24fps support

There are also three Scarts, but considering that the sheer magnitude of the screen-size amplifies any picture foible, you might want to consider upgrading your kit if Scart's the only option

The Panasonic TH-42PZ700U is a 1080p 42in plasma that outshone all competitors in image quality. Indeed, our jury rated its picture higher than that of any other TV.

The Panasonic TH-42PZ700U isn't cheap, and you don't get a lot of neat extra features for your money, but it does have an excellent picture.

With the 50-inch TH50PZ700U plasma HDTV, Panasonic has achieved picture quality that takes your breath away. This full HD 1080p native resolution set displays a maximum of 29 billion colors and 4,096 shades of gradation. A high contrast ratio of up to 5,0...

Panasonic's 58in plasma looks great and doesn't cost the earth - the perfect combination?

The Panasonic TH-58PZ700 is very large TV at a very reasonable price. Yes, almost -3,000 is a lot for a TV, but value for money isn't about a price tag, it's about what you're getting for that price, and here you're getting a lot. The picture quality from...

Strange as it may sound, the asking price of £3,400 for a 50in full HD plasma screen is a bit of a bargain. Technologically speaking, it's no mean feat to cram 1920 x 1080 plasma cells onto a screen that's less than 65in

Good looking, Decent HD picture quality, Good value for money, Peerless HD pictures, Great audio

Poor blacks, Some flaws in standard-def pictures

A regal performer, perfect for an HD DVD or a Blu-ray player

The technical difficulties of squeezing 1920 x 1080 plasma cells into a screen smaller than 65in have meant that before now we've only seen one Full HD 50in plasma TV: Pioneer's PDP-5000EX waltzing in at a cool £6,000

Good pictures, Relatively affordable

Standard-def only good, not great

A superb Full HD plasma that easily has the measure of anything not made by Pioneer

Panasonic has another addition to their line of high-definition televisions. On their 1080p line, they introduced the 58-inch Panasonic TH-58PZ700U. The Panasonic HDTV outperforms many rear-projection sets and nearly all jumbo plasmas out in the market to...

We were particularly impressed with this plasma's 'SmartSound' stereo speakers

Brilliant picture quality; Sensible connectivity; Cinematic feel

Not the deepest blacks available from plasma

Overall, the Panasonic TH-58PZ700B is a superior plasma television, perfect for big-screen movie viewing
