Panasonic TH42PZ85/PZ81

[Garth Man]

Any chance WHF can do a review on these two models please??

I am in such a confusion as to which one to get. Not too fussed about Freesat, though as the PZ81 has more features, and i can get this for the same price as the PZ85, it makes more sense to get that model

HDTV Org rated them both very well. Though Which rated the PZ81 as average overall, and the PZ85 brilliant with HD but average with SD

Any advise please as I'm going nuts!!!!!!!

Plus should i wait till the sales for a TV??

many thanks

Theyre the 46 inch sets but apart form the size, the tech spec is exaclty the same as the 42 inch sets youre interested in.

All i can say is i have had the PZ81 since may and im delighted with it!
As for th sales? get yourself to JL and you can pick up a PZ81 for under a grand-(£1300 when new)which is a fantastic price IMO, so the jurys pout as to wether you would get much of a reduction on that.

Thanks CliveJ, I am leaning over to the PZ81, saw it at EmpireDirect with 5yrs warranty and 10% off total: £900. Bargain??

Does it have 24p Real cinema as opposed to the 24p Playback feature?

I know the 85 has 24p real cinema, but dont think the 81 does but dont quote me on that!!
