Svelte and with decent audio and a versatility that extends even to impressive 3D, this 51-inch plasma makes for an excellent value home cinema screen. It might not be up there with the very best from Panasonic’s arsenal of 3D plasmas in terms of...

SD & HD picture quality; Response time and very low phosphor trailing; No significant retention; 3D picture quality; Multimedia and Smart TV functions; Inputs facing down and to the side

Out-of-box settings ; Not buzzing-free; Movie preset not as accurate as THX presets; Black depth not on par with Panasonic
