We like:
Wireless hi-def video transmission is awesome and far more reliable than we expected; good sound; picture quality is impressive for the most part
We don't like:
To afford it, you'll probably have to sell some children, flog your car and maybe auction some organs; styling is confused and we hate the black parts of the bezel
CNET UK judgement:
The Panasonic Viera TX-P46Z1's performance is generally very good, but, given the set's price, we can't easily forgive the few picture-quality issues it has. We like the wireless connectivity, though, and we can't see any problems in using it in most homes. All in all, this is a great first attempt at a 1080p wireless TV. Sadly, it's just too expensive and doesn't quite offer the picture quality that it should

An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive

Great piece of kit, but its price tag will make it unobtainable for most
