Panasonic VIERA TH-42PX8A

 

Sharp picture, great colours, strong performance across both HD and SD, bright picture, good PC performance

Contrast in dark areas a little lacking, not full 1080p

Panasonic's Viera TG-42PX8A is a stunning television and is definitely one of the best 720p units on the market right now. Its image quality is excellent and it performed well across a broad range of sources including HD, SD and PC.

Panasonic TH-42PX8A

 

The Panasonic TH-42PX8A is a marked improvement on the 700 series, which is quite an achievement for a budget plasma. Pity it's not true HD, though.

Decent colours and excellent black levels ; Very detailed picture ; Cheap

Not true HD ; Occasional vertical fly-screen effect

If there's any faults with this plasma, the ones you'll encounter with the most are: off-axis viewing can result in image doubling, due to the outer glass screen reflecting the images underneath; and less-than-optimal performance in a bright room as...

Panasonic TH-42PX8A

 

Brilliant panel easily beats sony full 1080p LCD panel for pure picture processing and colour depth. Too much made of native resolutions these days (1080 V 768) but truth be told contrast, speed, colour are all much more important in a television and...

Picture processing and colour depth

none to speak of

Panasonic TH-42PX8A

 

Probably the best entry level plasma. It's 100Hz and 24 frames/second - The base LG and Samsung don't offer both of these together

Panasonic's reputation ; Great Picture ; Cheap - only paid $985 ; 100Hz AND 24 frames/second

Hard to fault - had mine for a few months now ; Should have really got the 50inch
