Very good

7.3

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.3 out of 10
Reviewed by David Katzmaier
Review date: 4/30/08
Release date: 3/1/08

The good: Relatively inexpensive; produces a deep shade of black; accurate initial color temperature; solid connectivity with three HDMI inputs; handsome, understated exterior.

The bad: Color decoding accentuates red; inaccurate primary color of green; ineffective noise reduction.

The bottom line: Panasonic's TH-42PX80U 42-inch plasma sets the picture quality-to-value standard for entry-level plasma TVs.

Product brief - Panasonic Viera TH-42PX80U
Hide

Description: The Panasonic Viera TH-42PX80U is a 42-inch, plasma television. Compared to other plasma TVs on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $795. In general, a liquid plasma display can recreate more realistic black-levels than an LCD display can.

Pros: Has a 3D-Y/C digital comb filter. This is more favorable than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price. (A 3D filter is one of the best types available, and is "motion adaptive," meaning it utilizes a special method for clearing up the moving parts of the picture, as opposed to the static parts.) This television can display images that are sharper and more realistic than regular television when connected to a high definition signal. The 3:2 pulldown feature of this set reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: A plasma TV, suited for home entertainment.

Value: In view of its very inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money.

Suggestions: (1) For assistance in shopping for a new HDTV, review CNET editors' <ref type="link" url="http://cnet.com/hdtv-world/?tag=arw">Ultimate HDTV Buying Guide. </ref> (2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics.
