The Panasonic TH-58PZ700 is very large TV at a very reasonable price. Yes, almost £3,000 is a lot for a TV, but value for money isn't about a price tag, it's about what you're getting for that price, and here you're getting a lot. The picture quality from this Full HD panel is superb, and unless you really know what you're looking for, you're unlikely to notice that converts 1080p 24Hz signals to 60Hz. Read more

Panasonic's VIERA TH-58PZ700A is a 58-inch 1080p plasma, capable of delivering some incredible images, and perfect for any movie lover. Its excellent high-definition capabilities combined with very respectable standard definition and gaming performance make it a great choice for anyone looking for a well rounded and high quality display. We tested high-definition playback with a range of HD-DVD and Blu-ray movies, and were delighted with the results. Read more
- Excellent high definition and gaming performance, great integrated speakers
- Some issues with standard-definition scaling, small amounts of pixelation in PC mode

I have had the Panasonic TH-58PZ700U for over 4 years now and it offers stunning display for movies, HD television, and gaming. The internal speakers are good, but I use a sound bar and receiver. I have had zero problems with the unit and it is still running like a champ. Read more
Sharp picture, nice blacks

The black levels on this set are better than most competitors (certainly better than my 50" LG). My only complaint is that the mounting points on the back of the frame are not very compatible with universal wall mounts. Read more
- Attractive Design, Fast Setup, Great Picture, Simple Controls
So far, so good

Just ordered this unit from newegg. Was hesitant about ordering on-line but newegg was fast and efficient as always. I ordered on a Thursday and it arrived on Tuesday AM. Great picture - although the burn-in period is a pain (you will have to do this with any plasma though). Read more
- Beautiful picture
- Some reflection from windows (less than most other plasmas though)
Awesome Plasma, best for the money

After two weeks we love our new Panasonic 58” plasma set. I spent two weeks researching 50” and 58” LCDs and HDTVs and two days in five stores comparing pictures after our RPTV died on New Years Eve. The winner is this outstanding plasma Panasonic 58”. It’s got the best blacks, contrast, and color accuracy of any plasma or LCD TV. The color accuracy is better than the Samsung 58/50” plasmas. Sharpness is ever so slightly better on the Samsung plasmas. Read more
- Best Blacks for the Money, Best color accuracy, Durable, Good Value, High Quality, Outstanding Color
- Sound is average
Rate it all!

Panasonic TH-58PZ700U 58-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV 5 I am continually amazed by the picture quailty of this TV. I'm using generic HDMI 1.3 cables with an HDMI 1.3-compliant AVR, a HD DVR, a PS3 and an upscaling DVD player. In 10 months, I have had no problems with the TV (yes, the built-in speakers don't have decent sound, but if you can afford this TV, you shouldn't be using the built-in speakers). Read more
