Panasonic VIERA TX-P60ZT65B Pro Reviews

Simply the best plasma TV available today; it’s expensive, but its picture quality is second to none

So, there you have it. Panasonic have hardly set a foot wrong with their 2013 plasma range (and given the intensifying competition, that’s just as well), and the Viera ZT is the very best product that they have to offer. In 2013, gas and phosphor still rule. If you want lucid, emotive images that are of the highest quality available in your home today from a flat-screen TV, then there’s no better choice than the Panasonic TX-P60ZT65B.

As you would expect for a flagship TV the P60ZT65 certainly looks the part, with a beautiful appearance that combines both the contemporary and the classic. The elegant glass fronted chassis is complimented by the black styling and silver trim, whilst the chrome and brushed metal stand finishes the design off nicely. The build quality is excellent and despite the large screen size, the entire chassis is only 3.5cm deep. At the rear are a decent set of connections with gold coated terminals, although like all of Panasonic's other plasmas this year, there are only three HDMI inputs and they're too close to the edge. In comparison, the KURO looks decidedly chunky and old-fashioned. The P60ZT65 comes with a very attractive high-end remote, along with a touch pad remote, two pairs of 3D glasses and a somewhat pointless Touchpen.
