5.0 out of 5 stars Great lower-end hdtv, July 9, 2009
I've had this t.v. for a week now and I love it. I bought this Panny to replace a Sharp Aquos 1080p LCD that I returned. The LCD was terrible, any fast movement across the screen would cause mass pixilation. Also, blue-ray movies with heavy contrasting scenes looked grainy. I was so disgusted with the picture I returned it. Anyway this Panasonic Plasma is sooo much better it's like night and day. Even though this t.v. is only 720p, it looks much clearer and sharper than the LCD. No pixilation whatsoever. No graininess. Dark blacks and bright whites. The only con for this t.v., which I think goes for most plasma t.v.'s is that the screen is so glossy that it's hard to watch in bright rooms. I think that is the one and only advantage the LCD Aquos had over this t.v. Hope this was helpful and oh p.s. when you're comparing hdtv's in a store make sure whatever you're watching on there isn't a cartoon because cartoons make any hdtv look good. I learned that the hard way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great set!, April 27, 2009
By Timothy M. Smalley (Apple Valley, MN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Picked the Panasonic TC-P42C1 42" plasma TV set a few days ago at Target so I haven't had it very long. So far I am VERY pleased. I have always had great luck with Panasonic TVs in the past, so I was pretty confident with my selection.

The Target guys helped me get it loaded and I was able to move it by myself from my van to the house with a small dolly. Setup couldn't have been easier. I decided to go with plasma since my living room has very low light most of the day and everything I have read said that plasma was better than LCD under those conditions.

The picture is stunning! There are several different picture settings, including the ability for custom setups. Sound is better than average for TV speakers, but I will be getting a home theater setup soon for full enjoyment.

I love this TV!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tv, August 7, 2009
By C. A. Smith "Shnibz" (Virginia Beach, Va) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this Panasonic Plasma T.V. a Week ago(not from Amazon but from Target) and i have loved every minute of owning it. I purchased a Vizio origanlly under the impression that it wasn"t White tube backlit but it was and it was crap. I returned and for 60 dollars more got this. Amazing picture right out of the box on HD channels PS3 everything looks great. Well worth the money and would recommed it to anyone. While I am certianly on a budget its worth every penny of 60 dollars for such a huge difference.
