With its low profile frame its the perfect solution for those that have invested a little too heavily in entertainment centers for their old 36" direct view TVs. The only downside is that you may have to remove the doors but it will usually fit, and you'll need the optional stand to make this work.

Like all Panasonic plasmas, this little unit offers an amazing picture and color reproduction with more settings and display options than you could ever use. The TV also has a built in Zoom feature which comes in handy on special occasions. And the "A" specific industrial model was upgraded with 2 HDMI ports but still has an available slot for adding more HDMI, DVI, or other inputs your system may require. It does have built in component video inputs but they are BNC type connectors so you will need 3 adapters for your RCA type cables before connecting.

All in all its a 5 star product from Panasonic. The remote is easy to navigate, the manual is well written and easy to translate, but as you may already know this plasma does not have a built in tuner, so you'll either need a cable or satellite tuner which is not a problem for most people making this a centerpiece in a home theater setup.

A word of caution though, HDTV is addictive.....just when you get comfortable with your new 42" Panny you may be struck with a deep regret you didn't go for the 50" model. That happened to me twice, and I am now the proud but TV poor owner of a 42", 50", and 58" Panasonic plasma. 5 Pixels
