Panasonic TH 42PHD5

Advantages: Cheap, Great Picture
Disadvantages: No Upscaler, NOt Full HD only 720p

...is not as shiny/ reflective some of the other TV's in the market. This is very essential as during the summer time when you watch TV and lights hits the screen you are less likely to close the curtain as the light does not reflect as much on this surface, and who would want to close their curtains on a sunny day anyway. When the sun shining on the screen when I watch TV not had to get up and close the curtains like I have many times with CRT TV'S. This TV will definitely reduce reflective glare therefore your eye will not strain or need to work harder to see what's on the display. Now compared to a Sony Bravia KDL-40V2500 42" I would go with Panasonic for the looks but that's my personal opinion. Now lest look at size below: Panasonic is 102cm x 70.4cm x 9.5cm Sony is 98.8cm x 10.6cm x 65.3cm These figures show that both these... Read review

Advantages: Good value, good image quality
Disadvantages: Sound quality is probably the major disappointment here, not a true 1080p screen

...the general consensus is that for 42" and above in size - to still go for plasma over LCD technology and that Panasonic and Pioneer were at the front of the fiend. The Pioneers models are generally a bit more expensive so I chose the panasonic. An excellent feature is the 10000:1 contrast levels - the screen always looks bright and images tend to look sharper because of this. Having compared many TVs before purchase, this tv was selected as it is excellent at displaying whatever signal you input - e.g. digital tv, even analogue looks quite good, dvds are shown very well evem via scart and hd signal via HDMI is phenomenal. Surpisingly, many of the plasma and LCD tvs available are not especially good at displaying normal digital TV (not HD). This panasonic does a very good job of this (but I still think the images still look poorer than they did... Read review
