Compare Panasonic Viera TH-42PX60U 42" HDTV Plasma TV to Panasonic Viera TX-L37U3B 37" HDTV-Ready LCD TV

A plasma screen renders vivid colors like you've never seen before (as in, up to 29 billion in this case), extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the TH-42PX60U is a mere 3.7 inches deep, one of the slimmest plasmas around--perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.

Advanced 1080p technology for TV lovers, VIERA U3 series LCD HDTV provides a high-definition 1080p display for your favorite digital photos, movies, video games and TV shows. Brilliant luminance and superb blacks By combining the highly light-transmissive IPS Alpha panel and high-brightness LED backlight, Panasonic has attained both high contrast and low power consumption. Also, by detecting the contrasting parts of the scene, the backlight is adjusted to maintain a brightness that is optimal for each area. Deep blacks are reproduced with no fading. The contrast between the brilliance of diamond-like stars and the deep black of the night sky produces a sharp, crisp image. Easy viewing of photos and videos Equipped with an SD card slot, VIERA makes it easy to view Full-HD photos and motion images that you shot yourself. Simply insert the SD memory card into the slot, and you're ready to view your photos and Full-HD videos on the big screen. Less
