Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ700B 42in Plasma TV

 

Panasonic breaks new ground with a 42in 1080p plasma TV.

Panasonic has created something very special with the TH-42PZ700B. Not only is this the first 42in plasma TV to sport a 1,920 x 1,080 panel, but it also exhibits superior picture quality to any 42in HDTV I’ve seen. Feed this screen high quality, high...

Panasonic TH-42PZ700 review

 

A sublime example of plasma enriched by a 1080p resolution

Great pictures ; Plenty of inputs ; Compehensive futureproofing

Some negligible plasma niggles ; A bit pricey

This superb and impeccably specified performer justifies every penny of its hefty price tag

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U 42in 1080p plasma TV

 

The Panasonic TH-42PZ700U is a 1080p 42in plasma that outshone all competitors in image quality. Indeed, our jury rated its picture higher than that of any other TV.

The Panasonic TH-42PZ700U isn't cheap, and you don't get a lot of neat extra features for your money, but it does have an excellent picture.

Panasonic TH-42PZ700

 

Also, as one of Panasonic's premium plasma range, the 42PZ700 is impressively specified. The full HD pixel count is driven by Panasonic's excellent V-Real Pro image engine, for starters, complete with 1080p handling, 12-bit colour processing resulting...

Great picture quality, features galore, full HD resolution

Panasonic's non-HD models have slightly deeper black levels; the advantage of full HD is only marginal, making the price look slightly high

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U

 

The world leader in plasma display panel (PDP) manufacturing, Panasonic currently has the largest selection of plasma televisions that offer 1080p screen resolution (1,920 by 1,080 pixels, progressively scanned). The company's $1,995 TH-42PZ700U is the...

Full 1080p resolution. Very good standard-definition video processing. Good video-noise management

Overscan with 720p video sources. No 1080p input with VGA or component video ports

Panasonic's 42-inch plasma uses full 1080p resolution and effective video processing to keep its picture clean and sharp.

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U

 

You might expect the only 1080p plasma in our November issue's HDTV roundup--and the first 42-inch 1080p plasma ever--to outshine its eleven competitors in image quality. It did: PC World's jury rated its picture higher than that of any other TV, with...

Terrific picture First 1080p 42-inch plasma TV

Confusing onscreen controls Light on extra features

Panasonic's large, heavy, programmable remote feels clunky, and the lower half has too many buttons, but your fingers go naturally to channel surfing and volume controls

Panasonic TH-42PZ700A

 

The Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ700A is an excellent 1080p 42-inch plasma going for a bargain price, but is a little short from the benchmark product we expected.

Full 1080p resolution ; Great picture quality ; Anti-reflective filter ; Three HDMI ports ; Cheap

Some minor picture defects

Conclusion Despite some very minor problems, this is still an excellent television for the money. Detail, contrast and colour are amazing, and little touches such as the glare-proof panel make this an intriguing proposition. It may not appeal to the...
