Not the best but not the worst. It is also good to note that you can not find this tv in retail stores. Nothing a cheap home sound system couldn't fix.
I actually had a saleman at Circuit City tell me that the 42pz800u didn't exsist.The only draw back on this Plasma that i could actually complain about would be the sound. This Panasonic gets a 10. I researched this tv for 3 months before pulling the trigger.
I got the HD receiver three days after and thats when I really fell in love with it. I was only disapointed in paying a buck fifty more then what I could have gotten it for but the price has since risen since.I purchased the Plasma on 10/3 and right out of the box it was great. The picture was great and that was just in Standard.
If there's a Plasma better, well.I won't worry about that for some years to come.Tom South Jersey
That one is great and the picture and quality are fantasitc. But my new Panasonic Viera TH42PZ800U 42" plasma 1080p blows my old one out of the water. This is the second Panasonic plasma HDTV that I have bought. Granted my new plasma is 2 years newer than my first, but the picture and colors are great. I also bought a Blue-Ray player (Panasonic of course) and the DVD's play great on the plasma. I bought my first one back in 2006. For the money, you can not go wrong with this Panasonic model.So in short, if you are in the market for a new plasma HDTV, you should definitely consider buying this plasma (or another Panasonic plasma).
In addition to the improved picture quality, card reader and extra HDMI input I chose this because it was crafted from a single sheet of glass and had a swivel stand (the tv sits in a corner and allow us to swivel to face the kitchen if we need).I did a lot of research on TVs and knew I wanted a Panasonic plasma from the outset. The picture quality is excellent (colors and blacks are extremely well defined), menu's easy to navigate and the THX certification was noticeable when you switched - particularly on DVDs. I decided to spend a little more on this model. All in all a great price for this TV and a solid, good looking performer.
I have not had a burning image and not sure if that's a problem anymore. So far, I have been watching this TV on the Custom Mode. If you do not have HD service from your Cable or Dish and do not plan on getting a Blu Ray don't bother getting this TV - stick to your old tube.
The TV is stylish and stands out from the pack. The size, 42-Inch is big enough for my 12 feet away viewing experience. This TV is sharp.
The THX makes me feel like watching TV through polarized sunglasess; in otherwords, too dark - I have yet to watch a Blu Ray movie on the THX mode. So far I only have HD through Comcast. Make sure you use an HDMI calbe; it does not have to be an expensive one - try Belkin.
Another plus is that this tv has an excellent sound and more than likely you will not need a surround system; other HD TVs have very poor sound systems.
in my own home. My new 42 inch Pnasonic HD TV is perfect for that and also my favorite programs on TV. As an older widow I prefer to watch movies etc. The delivery service in my area was also very well managed.
