Designed to compete with the new raft of similarly sized LCD TV's, Panasonic's TH46PZ85 does not look significantly larger than its 42in sibling, its compact appearance due in no small part to its very slim profile and a frame that curves subtly backwards along the full length of its sides. A glossy black finish completes the effect with the result being distinctive rather than brash, stylish rather than garish.

The TH46PZ85 sports a Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution which allows the screen to resolve every detail of for example, a Sky satellite standard definition (1080i) source or input from Sony's PS3 games console (1080p), rather than scaling these pictures to fit.

Having witnessed the exceptional High Definition (HD) performance of the TH42PZ85 we were expecting more of the same form its slightly bigger 46in brother. In fact, HD performance looked even more spectacular on the larger screen. Again, we can only say that there are good HD pictures, and there are HD pictures which compel you to reach out and touch - the impression of reality being so strong. Every imaginable nuance of detail is presented in a flood of vibrantly rendered colours, a truly involving experience.
