"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
looks, picture initially
What I don't like:
Purple haze, or "purple snakes" as is commonly known as
Review:
Loved the TV initially, brilliant picture, easy to use, looks great, but after 8 months or so the picture started to contain what i can only describe as a purple haze around certain objects. On further investigation it seems there is a software issue with this model (and others) that panasonic have acknowledged that requires an upgrade, which according to some who have had it doesnt always work and can have an even more negative effect. Doesnt start to happen until you have had TV for a while. Im disappointed.

Philips 9000 (47PFL9664H/12)
Beautiful styling, superlative performance and an endless feature set make for a truly premium experience
Sony Bravia Z5800 (KDL-40Z5800)
Sony's first freesat set is one of the best-performing TVs we've seen from the company so far
Toshiba Regza SV (46SV685DB)
It's a very good TV indeed, but we're not convinced the price is justified
Samsung B7020WW (UE55B7020WW)
Could have been one of the best TVs we've seen were it not for the serious backlight inconsistency
