  • "Good as secondary TV"
    3.5 stars

    Pros: Price
    Size - not so many plasmas in 42"
    HD 1080p
    3D ready
    HDMI 1.4 w/ Audio Return Channel - very convenient
    Viera Cast
    Wireless Connectivity
    Easy remote control
    DLNA Support - good feature but buggy.
    Sturdy tilted stand.

    Cons: Quality is ok but not the greatest for the price.
    Limited brightness (best use at night only).
    Produce lot of heat and consumes more power than LCD.
    Viera Cast is very slow and choppy. Limited number of apps.
    Netflix audio is buggy.
    DLNA is buggy, it's hi

    Summary: It's a good value TV if purchased for bedroom, kids room, secondary TV etc
    If you need a decent home theater setup look somewhere else or at least for bigger models. Not good for a sunny or highly illuminated environment. 42" for 3D feature is too small and does not justify the price paid for 3D glasses.
