Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Puntos Fuertes: Nice styling, looks great on the wall

Puntos Débiles: Sound is not the greatest but running it through a Bose system and it sounds as good as it looks

I have been researching for about 2 months and finally took the plunge. Consumers reports actually had a great write up in there October and November edition. The comparisons that they did actually had a much higher price then I paid. ED is very good running through digital cable. I was able to get price that was about 800 below the national retailers, the TV has been back ordered so expect to...

Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Puntos Fuertes: Price, picture clarity and sharpness, ease of purchase from Butterflyphoto.com, ease of setup and instalation.

Puntos Débiles: None found as of yet. Very straight forward plasma with the best picture I have seen yet.

I researched this and other plasma screens for more than a month before purchasing. I read all the reviews and positive comments and wondered if it could really be that great. Then I was fortunate enough to get to see the real thing at a friends house and judge first hand for myself. I had almost made up my mind anyway, but seeing it in person with my own eyes sealed the deal. Take my word for...

Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Puntos Fuertes: Great picture, great price.

Puntos Débiles: Does not have memory to associate different settings with each input.

This ED unit does some things better than the more expensive HD models. Blacks are better. Colors are slightly richer. There is no noticable "screen door" effect. DVDs also look sig better because there is no scaling of the DVD output that has to be done with the HD units. The HD version of this product currently costs $1500 (about 75%) more. Untill HD truely becomes the standard (including high...

Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Puntos Fuertes: Complete and up to date in every respect out of the box, with built-in HDTV tuner, cable card, HDMI interface, etc. Critically acclaimed picture quality.

Puntos Débiles: Speakers are not detachable, default picture settings too high.

I researched HDTV’s for more than a year before taking the plunge. There are pros and cons to all available formats, but I decided I liked plasma best. Plasma TV’s are like puppies: If you like them, they are all good. Nonetheless, Panasonic leads the market and this model is the most universally well-reviewed plasma available, at least at its price (Consumer Reports to the contrary). The...

Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Puntos Fuertes: Clear pictures compare to HDTV plasma, has ATSC tuner for viewing HD, just add the HD antenna and have a viewing pleasure. I could not tell differences from 10 feet away from Pioneer 43 HDTV plasma

Puntos Débiles: On screen menu, remote. I used to Sony products for the last 15 years

I bought it at BestBuy for $2429 after 10% of $2799, it is local and has cheaper extended warranties ($349 for 4 years). Circuit City, Sears, Tweeter, CompUSA are about $500 or more for 4 years.

Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Puntos Fuertes: A plasma TV with every option you need. Amazingly sharp pictures. Hard to differtiate from a HDTV.

Puntos Débiles: None so far

It gives amazingly great pictures with my Progressive Scan DVD player and component video cables. I compared this TV with a HD kept next to it at Bestbuy and I could not find any difference in picture. Its the best Plasma to buy. Even the speaker placements on the either sides gives the TV a better theater screen appearance.

Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Puntos Fuertes: Comes with everything you need. Great Picture Quality.

Puntos Débiles: Still expensive compared to Rear projection and CRT TV's.

I debated between the ED and the HD version of this TV for awhile. Until i found out that Standard Tv looks worse the higher the resolution of TV you have. My main purpose was watching Standard definition tv (maybe digital) and DVD's. The deciding factor was that the DVD's do not have a resolution past the ED TV's. I beleive the resolution of a DVD is 720x480, might not be exact. So I decided to...

Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Puntos Fuertes: Built-in HDTV tuner, Excellent contrast ratio, best value in its class

Puntos Débiles: Long delay when changing channels or video inputs, built in speakers have poor-sound

All the other reviews say it all. I got this TV for $2350 shipped and I personally think it blows all others away - even HDTV sets that are twice the price. Contrast ratio is probably best in its class. Built in HDTV tuner is really handy unless of course you subscribe to HDTV via cable, then its pretty pointless. However I personally like receiving all of the local channels in HDTV. Unit also...

Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Puntos Fuertes: Great picture, nice design, numerous inputs, univeral remote.

Puntos Débiles: Built in speakers.

This plasma is great out of the box. Easy to setup and watch. I have analog cable without a digital box and the picture is quite good. Football and baseball games look amazing. I've seen this set with HDMI setup and it has the same clarity as a HD set. DVD's look even better. The fiber optic digital output works great and the pre-programmed universal remote is an added bonus.

Panasonic TH-42PD25U Televisión de Plasma 42"

Puntos Fuertes: Known name brand; relatively cheap price

Puntos Débiles: EDTV, not HDTV

At less than $2500, this is a pretty good deal. For $2700, I got the TV shipped and a four year warranty from Big Deal TV. The lack of HDTV is a negative, but unless you have the extra $1800 to shell out for the HDTV version of this model, this is your best bet. Make sure you buy component or a DVI cable to ensure the best signal quality from your DVD player.
