Panasonic - 42" Plasma 42PX60U Television Review

I did lots of research before I bought this TV for my family.  I was looking for a reasonable price for an HD TV.  I did not want to pay the price for a "cutting edge" TV.  This TV has met all my expectations. The picture is noticably better than a standard TV, the colors are deep and vibrant, and the screen is big! Yes, there are bigger, better TV's on the market, but I think this one is a great value.

I picked plasma over all the other HD TV types like LCD TV or projection TV based mostly on the price.  The other technologies were more expensive, or did not offer the same features.  Some reviews say that plasma TV's can fade over time, but I think you would have to leave it on non-stop for that to happen.

I looked at plasma TV's from other manufacturers like Sony, but they were more money, and the picture and features were the same. I also looked at some brands I head never heard of, but I worried that the customer support would not be good if I had a problem.

This TV was easy to set up. I did it all myself, with some help from my son. It is heavy, but two people can lift it without much trouble. We bought a TV table at Costco that was strong enough to support the weight, about 65 pounds. We assembled the base, and the TV fits easily on the base. It is sturdy, but a hard push might knock it over, so be careful where you put it. We hooked it up to our cable, and also hooked up a surround sound system. The instructions that came with the TV are clear and tell you all the steps.

We love this TV, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good value in HD TV!
