Panasonic TH-42PX75U 42 inch PLasma Television user reviews

Even though I am a small guy, it wasn't difficult to get it out of the box and position it on my entertainment stand. It has enough weight to keep from tipping over, but not so heavy that I could not handle it. You may want to anchor it with guy wires. It is also easily mounted on a sturdy wall (make sure you have a strong enough wall to handle 80+ pounds!).
The picture quality is outstanding. It is very easy to use, with lots of input and output options. The supplied remote works great (although I programmed it in to a universal remote to control all my AV equipment with one remote). I have it connected to DirecTV and an upconvert DVD player--great picture and sound. Even though I have a 5.1 surround sound system, I often use the sound from the TV for most causal viewing to save energy.
The digital tuner included provides a great picture from an antenna as well as cable or satellite. I live over 50 miles from the local stations, but get great HD pictures with a proper roof-mounted antenna. For what it's worth, it also comes with an analog receiver (which won't be useful after February 2009) which works great with current signals.
I have been very impressed with this Panasonic TV and heartily recommend it."

Pros:
*Picture quality(PQ) is amazing. Panasonic is well known for their high contrast and deep blacks and this TV is no different
*Black bezel looks so much better than the silver one. Something I learned: a black bezel actually makes the picture stick out since it provides a good contrast difference.
*Remembers adjustment settings for each input
*Reflection (lack of) is actually better than my old tube tv. I was worried about this, since plasma's are typically very reflective, but the reflection on this TV did not bother me at all. YMMV.
Cons:
*settings are very limited. There are the standard adjustments for picture brightness tint sharpness etc, but its missing the the fine tuning adjustments that most new tv's have.
*I am not a big fan of the zoom function since it makes the picture slightly pixelated.
*720p(1024x768 rectangular) only. I initially wanted a 1080p LCD but at this size I guess it really doesnt matter. Not to mention the PQ is light years ahead of an LCD in this price range.
*No VGA input. This is a bummer, but i picked up a DVI-HMDI cable from monoprice for a couple of bucks.
*Slight Image retention(IR) (burn in). If a still image is left on the TV for more a couple of minutes, the image can still be seen on a white screen. The good thing is if you watch widescreen TV(without the side bars) for an hour or so, this completely goes away. This is more of a plasma issue, and I feel this TV does a much better job at clearing up IR than what I have read about previous generation plasmas.
I am pretty satisfied with my purchase, and I hope this review helps someone in making their investment! "
