      Panasonic TH-50PZ81

      Review summary: Teaming Freesat HD with a big Full HD picture, this top-spec Panasonic is a bargain way to watch hi-def broadcasting

      Pros: The convenience of built-in Freesat. Excellent off-air performance. Punchy picture with Blu-ray. Proper contrast

      Cons: Sound could be better, as could sharpness next to some rivals. Not as sexy as a few alternatives

      Panasonic TH46PZ81

      By John Archer

      Review summary: Panasonic's latest plasma TV boasts not one, not two, but three TV technology firsts.

      Verdict: Within the Freesat service you can currently find nearly 80 channels, around 50 of which are TV (as opposed to radio) channels. The 46PZ81 can, of course, receive every last one of these channels, including the two HD offerings: BBC HD and ITV HD

      Cons: freesat's limited HD content ; weaknesses in some freesat broadcasts

      Verdict: With most of the hardware support for freesat coming from predominantly budget brands such as Bush, the new digital platform sorely needs some proper heavyweight action. This stunning TV from Panasonic fits the bill perfectly, giving us freesat in its ...

      Award: Recommended!

      Review summary: From preview to review, the first UK TV with integrated Freesat tuner gets the once over from John.

      Verdict: Although it's a shame for the 46PZ81 that the Freesat service doesn't currently carry a bit more high definition content to make the most of its screen's Full HD resolution, that's hardly the TV's fault. In fact, there's very little that IS the TV's ...
