CNET editors' rating:
3.5 stars
Very good
THE GOOD
The Panasonic TH-46PZ85U can produce one of the deepest shades of black we've ever tested; it has punchy color; a relatively effective antireflective screen; and sleek styling.
THE BAD
Poor noise reduction; less-accurate primary colors; fewer picture controls than many HDTVs.
THE BOTTOM LINE
A couple of issues keep its picture out of the top tier, but excellent black-level performance still makes the Panasonic TH-46PZ85U plasma TV stand out from the pack.
