Panasonic TH-42PX80 review

 

A superb 42 inch talent from Panasonic

Outstanding pictures ; Good connectivity ; Price

HDMIs not v1.3 ; Colours could be more vibrant ; Occasional orange tone to rich reds

Panasonic’s seemingly unstoppable plasma roll continues apace with this stunner despite LCD’s best efforts

Panasonic TH-42PX80 review

 

This is the kind of TV people will move house to accommodate – available at a bargain price

An excellent big screen with big-name cachet for under a grand. What else do you want?

Panasonic TH-42PX80

 

The 42PX80 is also the only TV in this group not to carry a full HD resolution (something plasma finds hard to achieve on relatively small screens). But happily that appears to be the only area where the 42PX80 falls short of its rivals in cold...

Great value, excellent picture quality, good feature count

Red colours can look a touch orange, HDMIs can't handle Deep Color

Panasonic TH42PX80 Review: 42" Viera 24p 100Hz Plasma

 

Update: The Panasonic TH42PX80 has now been replaced by the Panasonic TX-P37X10 & TX-P42X10.

Excellent black level and shadow detail ; Fluid motion handling with minimal blurring ; Displays 1080p/24 video signal without telecine judder

Native resolution only 1024 x 768 (i.e. not true HD) ; Does not deinterlace film-based material properly ; Exhibits posterisation particularly with poor source

Armed with native 24fps playback and marginally better blacks, the Panasonic TH42PX80 represents an evolutionary rather than revolutionary improvement over its predecessor the PX70 series.

Panasonic TH42PX80

 

Excellent value plasma now with even more features ..

With some additional features, the TH42PX80 still represents an excellent value plasma package. Full HD models from Panasonic with the latest image processing technology are more accomplished, but the price to performance equation in this case is hard...

Panasonic Viera TH-PX80U review: Panasonic Viera TH-PX80U

 

Panasonic Viera TH-PX80U

Relatively inexpensive; produces a deep shade of black; accurate initial color temperature; solid connectivity with three HDMI inputs; handsome, understated exterior.

Color decoding accentuates red; inaccurate primary color of green; ineffective noise reduction.

Panasonic's TH-42PX80U 42-inch plasma sets the picture quality-to-value standard for entry-level plasma TVs.

Terrific value and a high-quality set – it's not Full HD, but at this price, you won't miss it

Panasonic TH-42PX80B

 

Price. Looks. Build Quality. Stability of stand. Picture quality - inc 100Hz. Sound.

Not full 1080p HD (which I knew when buying) but at this price its well worth the money

Picture, design and operation are very good. Out of the box and it works.

Basic sound menu.
