Date: 2008-12-31 The best 42 inch TV overall, skip LCDs This TV provides a great value for what your pay. I bought it on amazon for 700, and not only was it the cheapest option I could find, it has plenty of pros that put it over almost every TV. I was pro LCD for a time (thought it was the way of the future). After looking, reading reviews, I honestly can't find a single reason to choose another TV. LCDs have a longer life span, usually weight a bit less, and possibly better color. Plasmas have a better speed (480 hz), darker black level, better contrast, better viewing angle, and better pricing. Therefore, plasmas have an overall edge in picture quality (especially if you go dollar for dollar on pricing). I was worried about the heat a plasma may generate. My 26" LCD Olevia raises the room temperature a couple of degrees, my plasma doesn't. Big plus. Screen doesn't feel hot either. CEVA delivery was excellent, they take all the worry about you screwing up moving and installing the TV. Extremely timely deliver too. Oh, 720p vs 1080p has been documented on the web to not matter in TVs below 50", just google it. It was going to buy either this TV, the samsung 46" A750 Samsung LN46A750 46-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color, or sony 46" XBR6 Sony Bravia XBR KDL-46XBR6 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV. Save like 800 dollars and actually have money to afford cable HDTV or a blu-ray player with movies. Date: 2008-12-30 Plenty of Set, for US Ours was an early Christmas present. It was simple to un-box and set up. Even after connecting it to our Stereo, Digital Cable, VHS player and a DVD/CD changer, we have inputs to spare. The front panel input for Picture Chips got a workout when we hosted a Family Christmas. We are "empty nesters", our sons and their wives made it here for the Holiday. They were delighted to share their pictures on a 42 inch screen. Next Time; they'll bring along their Game Systems. I doubt that WE will outgrown this set. Date: 2008-12-28 Panasonic 42 inch, 720 plasma Price was right with white glove. Ceva delivered the unit, unpacked it, mounted the table stand and placed it on the console. No problems. Excellent picture/sound and easy to hook-up.I subscribe to Dish Net./HD and all is well. I have both the audio/video and HDMI cables hooked up and cannot really tell much difference. The picture is equally clear with both. Only thing that's a nuisance is changing aspect(size) of picture when changing from hd to sd channels to fill the screen. Other than that, it's a great TV and is really enjoyable, especially for football/sports. Date: 2008-12-27 PANASONIC VIERA 42 INCH PLASMA HDTV 720P HAVE HAD THIS TV FOR 1 MONTH AND CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT IT IS EVERYTHING IT WAS ADVERTISED AS. THE PICTURE IS GREAT AND IT WAS VERY EASY TO SET UP. Date: 2008-12-26 Super picture and sound I don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about. I own this TV and use HDMI to connect my Bluray player. I output digital audio in full 5.1 surround sound to a Sony receiver. It doesn't "downconvert". I "stole" this TV from J&R for $599, paired it with a $250 Panasonic Bluray player and $199 Sony receiver and surround speaker system. Full home theater for $1,000! (and at 42 inch, it doesn't matter that this TV isn't 1080p, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway)
