Panasonic TX-P42S30 review

 

The Panasonic TX-P42S30 may have a plain Jane design, but as soon as its pictures flicker into life, it's clear that this really is a star budget performer, thanks to its smooth motion handling, excellent contrast performance and stunning colour...

Strong contrast and black levels ; Decent Internet features ; Impressive sound quality ; Low asking price ; Excellent motion handling

Glossy screen reflects ambient light ; Brightness levels could be higher

The design might not exactly be beautiful and its menus can look a little old-fashioned, but where it counts -- picture quality -- you really will struggle to find another TV at this price that delivers such rich and engaging pictures.

Expert review by:

Panasonic TX-P42S30

 

Although the P42S30 doesn't have 3D or use Panasonic's top-level plasma technology, it's still a great value TV.

Brilliantly affordable ; Good all-round picture quality ; No motion blur and wide viewing angle support

Not the latest Panasonic panel technology ; Currently limited online features ; Uninspiring design

While the P42S30 isn’t as stand-out brilliant as so many other TVs in Panasonic’s 2011 range, if you can run it in a reasonably low-light environment it’s still better than you've a right to expect for its money.

Before buying this TV, I was undecided. I'd looked at lots of reviews on the net and eventually decided to visit some local stores (Comet, Currys, specialist retailers) to get their opinions. When I explained what was important to me (watching sport,...

Extremely good value

 

So this is the 42" version, as I know Amazon can sometimes put all reviews for a range in one place.
