User Reviews about Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-P42X1 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV
I bought this tv almost a year ago and its been a great purchase, the picture quality is stunning for a 720 plasma. The tv will make your room warmer since it puts out a lot of heat i love it for my playstation 3 and bluray movies. -- Great tv
Purchased based on consumer,expert reviews.Exceeds expectation's,great tv for the
price.Have seen posts for black level degedation issue,keeping my fingers crossed,Panasonic should offer an option in event of issue occuring.Think it will
hurt thier rep. -- bargain plasma
I waited 10.5 months to offer as accurate a review as I can. This is the first HD TV that I purchased and am I gald I did. Before I made my purchase on Amazon last July, I read as much as I can from Consumer Reports to CNET to random internet blogs and of course Amazon feedbacks. Because I had a limited budget I wanted the most for my buck, so I went to Plasma instead of LCD last year. I wanted a reliable TV and go with a reputable manufacturer that has been in the TV business, that helped me eliminate Vizio, Samsung, LG etc.
The HD quality is great. I purchased a $10 HDMI cord from Amazon instead of wasting my money on a $99 version at the local retailer. I love the rectangular stand on this set. My parents have the older version with 2 perpendicular "feet." This is much better looking and even a little easier to install. The remote is easy to use, although I rarely use it since everything is available on the cable box remote.
Although this TV only has 2 HDMI inputs, you can solve that by using the 4-5 HDMI inputs that a receiver has.
I do have 1 complaint that kept me from giving this set a 5-Star rating: Glare. This is extremely noticeable at my last house where I placed this set in the corner and hence, it was positioned 45 degrees towards my windows. Bad decision, but that was the way my living room was designed. With my current house, I have the TV against a wall and the problem is 90% solved. But this can be a big distraction.
Overall, it is a reliable, beautiful, quality HD TV at an affordable price. -- Great T.V. for the Price
Judging by the fact that four years ago I bought a top of the line set for three times as much money, the current item almost rates
a 'steal' rating. It is easy to set up, thin, attractive, and light. This makes it manageable, decidedly so.
