Panasonic TH-46PZ81

100% of the reviews on Amazon.co.uk give this product a positive rating.

Although it's a shame for the 46PZ81 that the Freesat service doesn't currently carry a bit more high definition content to make the most of its screen's Full HD resolution, that's hardly the TV's fault. In fact, there's very little that IS the TV's...

Panasonic's PZ81 Freesat enabled range will launch in 42 and 46in sizes in June, with a 50in model shipping in July - it was the 46in TH-46PZ81 that I got my paws on. First impressions of the set are very good, which is unsurprising considering that...

Easy to use and set-up, fantastic picture quality, good connectivity, good built-in audio, Freesat

Distractingly reflective screen surface, no record to SD card, only HD playback, reds a little flat

Yes, we’re still waiting on Freesat to deliver both the service and range of channels a TV set like this deserves, but as that’s out of Panasonic’s hands, products like this will help build a groundswell for improved HD programming.

The TH46PZ81 excels with HD material and produces a better than average SD performance for such a large screen. Add the convenience of integrated Freesat and you have a very desirable, albeit a slightly expensive flat panel TV.

Image quality excellant well laid out menus.

Not being able to use freeview when recording from freesat to an extranl source The search feature for particular types of program could have been better. I have see better results from other Pansonic products.
