We like:
Superb picture quality; aggressively priced; features galore
We don't like:
Not particularly attractive; some of the video-processing tech can be unhelpful
CNET UK judgement:
Once upon a time, really big TVs tended to do little more with their size than emphasise how inherently poor their pictures were. But, with the Panasonic Viera TH-65PZ800, those days are emphatically over. This screen looks nothing short of sensational with HD material, making it the perfect option for anyone wanting a cinema-scale experience without the hassles associated with projectors
