Panasonic Viera TH-42PX80U 42" Plasma TV

outstanding picture and value

Strengths: picture

Weakness: no pc input

Only have had this set for a month and I love it. The black levels are outstanding and HD programming comes in crystal clear. My buddy spent twice as much on a 42" 1080P 120 HZ Sony and I actually prefer watching my set. He said he over spent on his TV and rather have my TV and the money he would have saved. My 360 games not only look fantastic but plays fantastic as well. No complaints about the...

Excellent TV

Strengths: Fantastic picture, great deal for price

Weakness: Could use more inputs, not as light as same-size LCD

I got a deal for this TV that was too good to pass up. I had some concerns about plasma -- primarily with glare/reflections -- but those have mostly proven to be unfounded. We have other HD TVs (rear-projection Sony LCoS and Vizio LCD), and I believe the Panasonic plasma has unarguably the best picture. The black levels are outstanding. I suppose I could argue the LCD has just as good a picture...

Great buy

Strengths: Picture quality

Weakness: none for my purposes

Purchased this two months ago. Have wall mounted in my finished basement. Picture quality and sound are tops. I'm glad now I went with the plasma and especially glad I chose Panasonic and this particular model.

My Frist Plasma - Great TV

Strengths: 3 HDMI helped me with Cable, DVD and HTPC

Weakness: HDMI mode does not display close captions TV mode picture quality is not great

Picture - Once you see the cable thru HDMI you cannot go back on the TV mode. Sound - Good enough for my apartment Black Level - Good enough for my lighting No complaints $800 well spent.

Great tv overall for the price

Strengths: Great picture quality and easy to set up and use.

Weakness: The remote looks very child like and cheap to me. I expected a more techno savvy look to it considering the tv that was purchased.

I have mixed reviews on the plasma for only 1 reason... I also own a 42 in LCD 1080p. As for picture quality, it is great even at the 720 on this set. Unless you are watching hi def everything you would never be able to tell. My only problem with plasma is the floating lines. I am very sensitive to light and it is something I would need to get used to as my other tv does not do it. I was told all...

EXCELLENT PANASONIC TV

Strengths: Superb picture quality, low pricing, great sound

Weakness: No PC inputs

I bought this almost a month ago for $899. It is a great TV, I compared it to the other TV's at the store and the picture quality is superb, but the price is very affordable. It also has very good sound. I like the SD card reader in front as well as the component and hdmi inputs infront.

Panasonic TH-42PX80U-Great picture-Great...

Strengths: Excellent picture in both standard or HD programming-Great sound-Easy set-up

Weakness: Other than a minor complaint with the operating instructions I have nothing but praise for this TV. No PC hook-up

One minor complaint was in the operating manual concerning wall mounting.It states that this TV is only for use with wall hanging brackets sold by Panasonic.Initially I panicked as I had purchased a Peerless mount and I couldn't find any mounting holes on the back of the TV.But my common sense kicked in about 5 minutes later and figured out where the brackets should be installed but I called...

Panasonic 42" Plasma TV TH-42PX80U

Strengths: Excellent picture, ease of setup.

Weakness: None noted.

Seems to be a quality product and performs as described. Easy to set up and has a user friendly remote. Produces quality picture at all angles. 720P supplies clarity that I am well satified with. 42" is appropriate for my medium sized family room.

Great TV. Did a ton of research and am thrilled with...

Strengths: Great Picture and Sound

Weakness: Only 1 RCA/S-Video Input Lots of HDMI and other input. I just have some older technology which I haven't replaced.

I bought this TV just last week after reading consumer reports and other favorable ads. It lives up to expectations and exceeds them. Highly recommend. You can't go wrong. Enjoy

Panasonic TH-42PX80U 42" Plasma TV

Strengths: This is my second plama TV purchase after having purchased a Sony 4 years ago. Granted technology has advanced over the years, but I was not expecting the startling images generated by this Panasonic.

Weakness: I have wall mounted this TV and after almost 4 weeks of ownership, I cannot find anything to complain about..

This TV is a beauty, both visually and functionally. My programming is provided via satelite and the normal and HD content is just stunning. My wife appreciated the remote device as it has very large buttons for the channel and volume control functions. The sound capabilities of this unit are very good along with three HDMI inputs and an SD card slot hidden below the front of the screen. TIVO...
