Panasonic TH-65 VX 100

Having spent my second review in a row splurging out a breathless stream of excited positivity, I'm kind of feeling like I ought to have found something nasty to say about the 65VX100E. So here goes: in case you somehow hadn't noticed, it costs £8,000....

Black levels are sensational ; Fine detailing is spectacular and colours are immaculate ; Standard-def performance is first-rate ; An option to turn the internal scaler off is good news for those with dedicated external pixel-tweakers

£8,000 is a serious investment and there's no tuner or speakers built-in

An extremely pricey option for the average TV buyer but eight grand can't buy you a finer TV. If you are looking for the best, look no further

Massive screen ; slim frame and smart style ; modular connections ; fine attention to detail and beautifully balance colours with SD and HD

Some hints of noise at times ; smaller screens will be sharper ; expensive

Yes it's expensive but the performance is very good – if you want something this big, then look no further

Huge and hugely expensive, but if you’re a home cinema fanatic with the space and the money, you won’t be disappointed
