| This was my first high-definition, flat panel TV. I was very picky when doing my research. My requirements were: 1080p, Plasma, and at least 40". After doing research on several sites (especially [...]) and reading countless reviews, I settled on this Panasonic.
I found out that this is pretty much the smallest screen size that you can get while still realizing the benefits of 1080p. This worked great for me because I didn't have a budget for the 50"+ TVs. This is a fantastic TV and looks phenomenal when playing HD-DVDs in my Xbox 360 HD drive (using component connections). I haven't had a chance to try the HDMI connections, but I'm sure those will look great as well. Highly recommended! This TV has the best picture of any TV I have ever seen. I build homes for multi-millionaires and I have seen some incredible TV's, theater rooms, with $50K audio systems wired in; and I have never seen a TV with a better picture. I bought this TV within a week of Consumer Reports rating it as the best picture they had ever tested, and I was still surprised at how breathtaking the picture was. You cannot overrate this TV and its capabilities to deliver a picture like none you've seen before. I do implore you, however, to invest in a blu-ray DVD player and a high quality HDMI cable for the full effect. The picture, when playing a blu-ray DVD on the new Panasonic blu-ray DVD player, along with a high quality HDMI cable (Panasonic makes maybe the best available for only $25) is unbelievable. The definition is so amazing that your opinions of beautiful big screen actresses may come back down to earth after seeing the the blemishes in their complexion that you never would have seen on a regular TV. This TV is the pinnacle. There is no TV better. For myself, it came down to a few important items. First, LCD was not going to be adequate given the problems with watching highspeed programs like sports or action movies. Secondly, I needed a screen that was capable of producing an excellent picture both in HD and on non-HD. Finaly I wanted to buy from a corporation that was at had an excellent reputation and produced excellent products. With that said, this plasma television has been all of this and more. I am extremely impressed by this product. The picture is outstanding on non-HD, and it is exceptional on HD. I have a PS3 and the 1080p picture is surreal. The clarity of the picture and the sound is excellent and I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an new flat-pannel television. Being the only 42in 1080p plasma on the market singles this product out, but after owning the item and observing it's capabilities, it definetely lives up to it's hype. |
