CNET editors' take

Reviewed by:
CNET staff
Reviewed on: 05/23/2008

Although CNET did not review the 42-inch Panasonic TH-42PZ800U, we did review the 50-inch Panasonic TH-50PZ800U. Judging from their specification sheets, the two Panasonic plasma HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the review of the 50-incher to give a good indication of how the 42-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U.

Summary: In my hands-on tests, the Panasonic's audio quality was phenomenal when matched against competing sets' built-in speakers. The audio strained when I turned the volume all the way up, but at two-thirds of maximum volume, I could hear every quiet detail ...

Summary: Another great plasma from Panasonic. The TH-42PZ800A produces a great picture with some of the best blacks we've seen; it only suffers from a few niggling issues.
