Reviews of the Panasonic Viera TH-58PZ750U
-
CNET Review
The Good: Produces a deep level of black; highly accurate initial color temperature; clean, sharp image; numerous picture controls; sleek design.
The Bad: Relatively expensive; some color inaccuracies and minor false contouring; less-effective glare-reducing screen.
The Bottom Line: Although we were impressed by the picture quality of the Panasonic TH-58PZ700U 58-inch plasma HDTV, we prefer the value proposition of its step-down sibling.
