Panasonic TH-42PZ81 42inch full HD Freesat plasma TV review

Reviewed by Phil Hinton
The PZ81 offers a good out of the box performance with an above average black level and freesat HD on board. Plus, with a price under £1000 on the high street it’s a Credit Crunch Best Buy!

i think it a weak design...why oh why did they design it with the bottom of the case being curved ? with everything else square... and the plastic speaker part at the bottom is just cheap....i really wanted to replace my old W5 with one but i simply wouldnt hang this on my wall, i dont doubt its a great tv for the money but still a weak design.

I got one of these back in the summer when they first came out and i have to say i've been very impressed with it. I've not noticed the curve on the bottom so I guess it does not really stand out to me but I will have to have a look when i get home!

With regard to SD picture quality, I am actually very impressed with it. It seems to handle the upscalling well.
