Panasonic TH-42PX50U Review: Almost Picture-Perfect!
Filed Under: Home Theater Reviews, Plasma and LCD Displays
Here is another review of this popular Panasonic 42″ Plasma. There is also another earlier review here. This time, Businessweek gives this unit a once over, and stamp her with 4 out of 5 stars.
Here’s the rundown:
The Good
Excellent picture, with near-3-D imaging
The Bad
Visual “noise” when transitioning from black to lighter colors
The Bottom Line
One of the best plasmas in its class, with a relatively low price
“While there are some noticeable omissions from the Panasonic TH-42PX50U that make it less than ideal for people worried about future connectivity, it’s an outstanding performer in terms of image quality — and at a price that won’t break the bank. Few would be unhappy adding it to their home theater, or using it as a second set in the bedroom.”
Yep, this is easily one of the most popular 42-inch plasma screens available. It’s not perfect, but it would be a great way to get into the home theater game now, without having to sell your children.
I have seen this unit priced very competitively online:
