Panasonic TH-42PZ700U 42" 1080p Plasma HDTV

Panasonic's line of plasma HDTVs have long been a benchmark for the industry, and the TH-42PZ700U is just one example of how Panasonic built its reputation.

Capable of displaying full 1080p of high-def resolution, the TH-42PZ700U will show you your favorite movies like you've never seen them before. And if you own a next-gen game console like the PS3 or Xbox 360, you'll finally see what all the fuss is about in high-definition gaming.

In short, this is a solid plasma television to consider if you're in the market, and here's why...


The TH-42PZ700U gives you the versatility to plug in a wide array of devices via its HDMI, S-video, component and even PC inputs. And you can watch your digital photos on the TH-42PZ700U when you plug an SD Memory Card into the set and view the pics using Panasonic's GalleryPlayer software.

With a contrast ratio of 5,000:1, you'll be amazed at the lifelike pictures the TH-42PZ700U set produces, along with the deep, rich colors and accurate white and black tones, which are always good measurements for rating an HDTV.



Can we say if the TH-42PZ700U is the best plasma HDTV for you? Here's a mini-test to determine the liklihood that this set will meet your needs:

- Have you already performed a plasma vs. LCD comparison? Both types of HDTVs have their merits, but plasmas are widely believed to produce deeper, richer tones (especially blacks), and the viewing angles are superior to the average LCD.

- Is this the right screen size for your home theatre? At 42", the TH-42PZ700U is ideal for sitting approximately ten feet from the set, according to accepted guidelines for viewing distances.

- Have you examined the merits of Pansonic vs. the other market leaders in plasma sets: Sony, Sharp, Samsung, etc.? Panasonic have traditionally received high ratings and reviews, and each new set the company produces benefits from the manufacturer's growing experience in plasmas.

If you're becoming convinced the TH-42PZ700U is the perfect television for your needs, make sure you check out what actual users of the set have to say. Read their reviews of the set at Amazon.com.
