Judging from their spec sheets, the two Panasonic plasma HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 46-inch model to provide a good indication of how...

Panasonic TH-46PZ85U

Panasonic rules the plasma roost, outselling other brands and rolling out a massive suite of models to compete against LCD in 2008. The TH-PZ85U series may be the most exciting of the bunch, thanks to its improved black-level performance, the holy grail of home theater image quality. The 46-inch...

Panasonic TH-50PF11UK

We've always been impressed by the performance of Panasonic plasmas, and it started with the company's professional models, such as the TH-50PHD8UK we reviewed three years ago.
