Panasonic Plasma TV - 42 inch Viera One Glass

Advantages: Too many to list
Disadvantages: pricey

...When looking for TV's these days, it helps to have research done as what the TV's are all about these days, what you get for your money, and how technically minded you are, Today, you either get Plasma or LCD with most of the old Cathode Ray Tubes(CRTs) phased out. One such model is PZ800B model 42 inch made by Panasonic. This range of TV is claimed to be the top of the award winning VIERA range from Panasonic. If you do not want to comprimise on quality, then believe this is the TV you want to go for. SIZE This model is 42 inch and also available in 50 inch. So when choosing any TV, make sure it fits! Unless of course you hang with a wall bracket on the wall. APPEARANCE Panasonic call this design 'one sheet of glass' and boy you can really appreciate it when you place it on the purpose built stand...

Review of Panasonic TH-42PZ800B

42 Inches Of Pure Pleasure!

Advantages: Amazing quality images, lots of features, looks great.
Disadvantages: We weren't quite ready to pay out for a new TV.

...of the most recent ones in their range and is actually very reasonably priced considering it's full 1080p HD and a massive 42 inches in size; this model also comes with a pedestal/stand included. We picked it up today and had it set up very quickly and with great ease, surprisingly. To attach the screen to the pedestal was actually no problem at all, the only thing we needed was a Phillips screw driver and the ability to lift the screen (as it is quite heavy) onto 2 metal bits that keep the parts together - I'm sorry I don't know the technical term but if you were rude minded you might think they looked like some kind of metal sex toys that were definitely not for the faint hearted. If you think you may have problems lifting the screen then please get somebody to help you as this is a big purchase that you wouldn't want to break before you...

Review of Panasonic Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ80

Panasonic nearly perfect as usual

Advantages: excellent picture, lots of inputs and very stylish
Disadvantages: not great sound

...The Panasonic Viera is truly a great TV, and as usual, I had looked around many review websites before I finally settled on this product. It really is 42 inches of viewing pleasure, especially with it being 1080p, which really gives a crisp and clear picture. For all the techies out there who love the specifications, it comes with 2 scart inputs and 3 HDMI inputs and a contrast ratio of 30000:1 which makes it ideal for those that like to hook their xBox up to the television. The television itself is extremely easy to set up and is very stylish in appearance and the colour reproduction and black levels are second to none, it genuinely is an excellent television. The only slight downside is that the sound isnt amazing from the television speakers, but this is to be expected i suppose - you really need to invest in a good surround...

Review of Panasonic Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ80

* The PANASONIC Viera Duckworth likes. . .

Advantages: Brill picture, brill sound. Flat as a pancake.
Disadvantages: Price!!!

...This is a cut down, and slightly biased review on the absolute monster Plasma Television, made by Panasonic. Although I am not one for the latest technology, I am in lust with this beauty! I do not actually own one of these outright, but I have the use of one on a regular basis. I feel I am well qualified to review, and recommend this brilliant product. Still over the moon with it, and it really is a doddle to dust. The size of the screen is an amazing FIFTY INCHES!!! Picture quality is fantastic, to be honest, when I heard what size it was, I did expect a poor picture, but this is brilliant. You can fine tune the picture to your eyes, and the list of options in the menu goes on and on. The screen resolution is a massive 1366 x 768. Aspect Ratio is 16:9. It has Auto setup, and a 1500 Page Teletext Memory. Made by Panasonic...

Review of Panasonic TH-50 PZ 70

Another great offering from Panasonic

Advantages: Great black levels, terrific contrast and detail, freesat tuner
Disadvantages: The sound is somewhat average

...television, you should also strongly consider external speakers; either active speakers, or amp and speakers. This is an excellent television and continues Panasonic's reputation of producing the best plasma's on the market (now that Pioneer Kuros have met their demise). If you have the funds to do so, I would definitely recommend purchasing this as it is sure to give you many years of viewing pleasure. Here is a short summary of the key features of this product. Size of television 42 inches Freesat tuner Integrated Digital tuner Resolution 1920 *1080p Full HD Supports 24 fps Allows for the connection of 3 HDMI connections Weighs 25 kg Allows for 2 Scart Connections Allows for a connection from the PC...

Review of Panasonic TX-P42G10E

Panasonic TH-42PX60EN

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

...This Plasma HDTV I have had for a year now and it has not let me down yet. Now I would like to analyse the TV so that the rest of you are convinced on purchasing one.. DESIGN Firstly I would like to say about the design now; it looks fantastic I just love the colour and the sleek design. Now you might be wondering where the hell is the speakers? Well its right under the Panasonic label hidden away under the silver colour. I didn't notice it myself until a few weeks when dust got on it and I was able to see the grills (Speaker holes). I think this is pretty good as you don't have to worry about the speaker making the TV look bad like a lot of TV's I've seed with ugly speakers. All I can say it this saved me a lot of as my living room would not have enough space to have a 42" with speakers on the side. Now the screen of the TV...

Review of Panasonic TH-42PX60EN

Panasonic TH-42PX70

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...

Review of Panasonic TH-42PX70

Wow!

Advantages: Great value, good picture and stereo sound quality, huge screen
Disadvantages: None for me, yet.

...making such a large purchase. So, Christmas morning as I was waiting for the Turkey to cook, I thought I would quickly check my emails. Unfortunately or luckily, depending how you view it, I had a special sale offer email from dixons.co.uk. I have bought from them in the past and so receive the occasional email detailing sale items. This sale, however, was for just three hours on Christmas day, between 3pm and 6pm. It offered an extra 10% on what were already sale prices. So, hubby and I decided to see if there were any bargains to be had, especially in the television department. We bought a 42 inch, HD ready, Panasonic Plasma Television. The code of our model is actually TH42PX80B. * Our new 42 inch Panasonic HD ready Plasma TV....... The sale price of this television was 499.99, English currency, which meant that the 10% discount...

Review of a Panasonic TH-42pz81B

Advantages: good with Xbox console
Disadvantages: price

...Review of a Panasonic TH-42pz81B Not a bad bit of plasma kit, a bit expensive but with panasonic you pay for the name, The picture very good, blacks a quite decent, glare of the screen is very low, in High Def full 1080p the picture is very sharp and coulorful, movies are cool like being in the cinema but without the idoit eating skittles next to you. Sound quality is good but if your paying this for a TV you can afford home Cinema system. I found unlike My Lg 42inch plasma this TV works really well with Xbox360 and Playstation 3 console, well up there with LCD for gaming. Good HDMI connection and other ports, would recommend this TV, the only way your going to get anything better is to stump up sony prices...

Review of Panasonic TH-42PZ81B

Stylish, good value 42 inch TV

Advantages: Size, picture quality, quite stylish
Disadvantages: None found

...This is a great TV. Whilst it feels a luxurious size, it is practical and easy to use. When wall mounted, it is also more subtle than you might imagine, well when off anyway! It is hard to make a TV beautiful ,but the designers at Panasonic have done their best and the TH 42 PX 70 is bevel edged, with black framing of the screen so it does manage to look reasonably elegant. The main feature is of course the screen. In my opinion, this size fits well into a living room. It is a bit of a focal point, but does not dominate the room too much. The resolution is excellent. The picture is clear and detailed (737280 pixels), with good colour balance. Clarity is good, even in poor atmospheric conditions (I live in the sticks). The picture also looks natural and less harsh than on some TVs that I have seen. The flat screen reduces...
