Abstract: While LCD displays may dominate that video wall at your local Best Circuit Shack these days, don’t dismiss the benefits of plasmas. No company has put more R&D into plasma development than Panasonic, and it’s paid off. People may disagree abou...

Abstract: Hot on the heels of the TH42PX80 HD-ready plasma television I reviewed just last month, the Panasonic TH42PZ85B – boasting their Intelligent Frame Creation (IFC) and 24p Real Cinema technologies in addition to full HD native screen resolution of 1920 x...
Abstract: We've already looked at - and very much enjoyed - two of Panasonic's 42in Full HD plasma TVs, the TH-42PZ80 and TH-42PZ800 . But that's not the end of Panny's Full HD 42in story, for there's one further model tucked in between: the TH-42PZ85. Probably th...
