Pros Price, looks, features, picture quality, ease of use, good remote, great black level
Cons "Only" 720p (but I don't care)
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the 42-inch 720p plasma Panasonic TH-42PX80U for my mother's bedroom, where it has been hanging on the wall for the last 18 months (as of 03/2010). The TV was less than $700 delivered (after the Live! rebate). Obviously, it is smaller than the 50-inch 1080p Panasonic TH-50PZ800U I... Read full review »

Pros Good price, good product
Cons None so far.
Recommended it? Yes

Hubby and I decided to buy a new flat screen television. We'd seen the test on tv determining whether or not a box would be needed for the television in our family room once transmission methods were changed in February. 




I read several Epinions on the site and printed them out... Read full review »

Soon after buying the 2008 Samsung 42" 720P PN42A450 plasma HDTV I moved it to the children's room and bought the directly competing Panasonic TH-42PX80U to replace it. My hope was that the Panasonic would program in and save more cable channels than the Samsung. Sadly, neither one is able to... Read full review »

A little background to the purchase.........

I know this will sound sad but, on Christmas Day afternoon, I went on-line and bought a television. I had not really planned to do this but Hubby and I had been thinking about up grading our old television for quite a while. Actually, Hubby was... Read full review »

. Why TH-42PX80U?

An HD TV was in my mind but not on my agenda.  So I had time to do research (including reading reviews on Epinions).

.. Plasma, LCD, or DLP?

The first consideration has to be technology.  Plasma is about the oldest consumer HD technology.  Then... Read full review »

I bought the Panasonic VIERA TH-42PX80U 42 inch HDTV Plasma TV about six months ago and have no regretted it at all.  These are not the greatest HDTVs out there, but for the price (mine was under $700) you can't beat the quality that they do give you.  If you want a top of the line TV, you will pay...

Intro - We bought this product because my wife wanted a big screen, flat panel TV. I was happy with our older 27" tube TV. (also a Panasonic, by the way) She likes to wind down at the end of the day by watching HGTV and sitcoms that are in syndication.

Surprise Fan - I'm surprised how much... Read full review »

Pros Great black levels.  Good color.  Very user friendly for the less technical consumers. 
Cons Doesn't have a swivel base.
Recommended it? Yes

This is my first HDTV purchase.  I am very happy with it.  Purchased in April of 2008 for $950.00.  I sell HDTVs for a living and could have gone with any set I wanted.  Six months later I still think I made the right decision.  It is still (in my opinion) the best "value" HDTV on the market. ...
