NEWS: Panasonic product-release timeline - including UK model numbers and pricing

While Panasonic is updating its website, we're getting loads of questions about the release dates and model numbers of its new ranges.

So, we thought we'd do a rundown of the manufacturer's TVs, players, recorders and home cinema systems due from now until May.

We've added estimated pricing, too - but please note that in many cases these are pre-order prices that could be subject to change.

OK (deep breath), here goes....
