Panasonic TH-42PZ700U It's the little things....

that make a big difference....in this case, all those tiny pixels. I'm a
fan of Panasonic TV's for many years. I've just replaced my ageing 34" HD tube TV with the TH-42PZ700. A stylish black frame around a great picture.
For $1700 delivered, you will not find a better TV.

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U Extremely Happy

After doing a ton of research I decided to purchase this Panasonic. Since I was going to purchase the TV online I didn't want to take a chance on a set that had shown any hint of problems in AV forums. I couldn't be happier with this set. The picture is amazing.

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U Much better than I had hoped.

I love this TV. It is exactly what I was looking for. HD programming looks great even though it is only 1080i through my Comcast DVR. Regular definition channels look much better than I feared. If you will be watching regular definition programming through cable or from regular DVDs keep in mind that it may look really bad on some HD TVs. The worst culprits are TVs that are much bigger than this one. (My couch is only about 6-8' from the TV by the way.) My only caution is that you should be careful if you have a really bright viewing room. I live in a townhouse and my living room doesn't get direct sunlight. I would be a little concerned about picture brightness if I wanted to put this TV in a bright room. I love it and highly recommend it.

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U If you have the means, I recommend picking one up.

This 42" Panasonic plasma features a picture quality far superior to any other flat panel display in the 40-42 inch size range currently on the market. Featuring 1080P resolution and deep black levels that only plasma can provide, the TH-42PZ700U is equally at home watching HD and SD programming, playing games on next generation consoles (Xbox 360, PS3) or watching DVDs (Blu-Ray or HD-DVD highly recommended). Coupled with a quality high definition signal, the picture quality is nothing short of stunning. A sleek stylish case rounds out this very complete package. The only weak spot in the Panasonic's game is the decidedly dated and unattractive remote. Though completely functional, the remote looks like an eyesore on this reviewer's coffee table.

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U Fantastic Television. Glad I Did My Research!

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!

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U is the bomb for 42 inch television

I wanted a 42 inch TV for our bedroom. Close viewing distance was an issue
so I wanted a 1080P television. No other 42 inch panel, LCD or plasma can
hold a candle to this one for close viewing. NO screen door effect discernable
at all. Beautiful picture quality, excellent controls, , beautiful
package. One other thing -- The SOUND on this TV is great !!
Highly Recommended

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U Excellent TV

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 had an outstanding 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.
