More Panasonic reviews , RRP: AU$4399.00

The good:

  • Effective processing of SD sources
  • Bright, lifelike images
  • Full 1080p resolution

The bad:

  • 1080p processing only applies to 480/576
  • Unable to turn off said processing
  • Poor DVD replay
  • Lack of features such as 24p and 100Hz

The bottomline:

Despite a recent price drop, the Panasonic TH-50PZ700A still struggles in the face of its main competitor, the Pioneer Kuro.

Editors' rating:

7.1/10
