Panasonic TH 42PX600U - 42" VIERA plasma TV - widescreen - 720p - HDTV Reviews

Summary: Great picture, deep blacks w/ minor flaws
Comment: I love my TH-42PX600U. It has an amazing picture and deep blacks, which is great for movies. The picture is fantastic when watching sports in HD. AND, amazing sound! Only a couple of small down-sides to this:

1. Only one tuner, so to watch split-screen or picture-in-picture, you need to have an external tuner (like a VCR)

2. Takes about 5 seconds to turn on. I think this maybe some power-saver mode.

3. Remote is a bit clunky. Not the nicest remote in the world. It gets the job done, but I find the round nav a bit difficult to use.

Overall though, I dig it. If faced with the option to buy again, I would.

Summary: Completely satisfied.
Comment: The product was delivered on-time by a professional delivery service. He even helped me carry it into the house. Hook up was fairly easy - you'll need a buddy to help lift and fit into position on the stand - it's feakin' heavy. The picture quality and sound quality are very nice. Not one complaint.

Summary: Provide flexibility
Comment: I've had the television for a few months now, and it performs fine. Picture quality is good and having the extra speakers provides an excellent option when you don't feel like powering up you home stereo amp. Flexibility is actually the keyword here, especially regarding all the input/output options. My experience in the past has been this type of flexibility will pay off years into the future when you're trying to piece together a configuration for a secondary setup (e.g., in a guestroom) using odd bits of equipment lying about the house.

The cablecard is also a valuable and flexible option. I'm using one and it works fine. It allows the superior Panosonic tuner to do the tuning without the STB clutter (or you can use the STB somewhere else).

Summary: even better than I expected
Comment: I have only had this tv for a little over a week and I have to say I am very pleased so far. The colors are every bit as good as my old CRT and the picture quality is superb even though my cable signal is still analog(I am working on this). I love watching everything in 16:9 instead of the old 4:3(which by the way you can select this option if you still like watching a boxy picture. I have my DVD recorder hooked up using HDMI connection and it is wonderful only having one cable for sound and picture. I also have my computer hooked up using the RGB connection and this works great. Now I can watch tv and surf the web all on one display. My only gripe is that even though this tv has picture in picture, you cannot use this fuction in the PC mode. I was very disappointed when I tried watching tv and the computer at the same time and figured out that I couldn't. I recommend getting this plasma while you still can because the new models for 2007 does not have PC connection, or TV Guide and from reviews found elsewhere the sound is not as good as it is on this model. I was blown away by the sound quality. I find that I don't need to use my home theatre as much because of the bass that this tv puts out.

Summary: 10 out of a possible 9
Comment: Bought this TV some weeks back from Amazon (subcontractor was Vann's). The TV is absurdly good. Vivid colors, great sound, easy remote, nice looks. Service from Amazon and Vann's was terrific. May buy a second in 50" for another room.
