Product brief
Description: The Panasonic TH-42PX75U is a 42-inch, plasma television.Compared to other plasma TVs on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $985.In general, a liquid plasma display can recreate more realistic black-levels than an LCD display can.
Pros: With built-in HDTV compatibility, this unit can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)The 3:2 pulldown feature of this unit reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons: Has only a rear connector location.
Suitability: Designed for those who are looking for a stylish, compact TV.
Value: Given its very inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money.For example, when it comes to viewable screen size, the average price of plasma televisions with similar viewable size is quite a bit more -- right around $1,460.
Suggestions: (1) For assistance in shopping for a new HDTV, review CNET editors' Ultimate HDTV Buying Guide.(2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics.Please explore the following website to find a recycling center in your area Electronics Take Back Coalition.
