Panasonic TC-L42U25 42-Inch 1080p 120 HzLCD HDTV Review
I'd never consideredPanasonic as they are knownfor plasma TVs, so I didsome research to includeConsumer Reports. CR had itas a Recommended Buy at aprice of about $300 morethan Amazon was advertising. I then went to the localBest Buy just so I could get a look at it in action. I wasreally impressed with the picture and refresh rates. Istayed long enough to see sports and normal TVprograms. The TV arrived two days ago, so I've just setit up and connected all my components. I wouldrecommend getting a HDMI cable but that's the onlyadditional item I've needed so far. The sound is somuch better than my previous TV (JVC). The picture isoutstanding! I've been watching basketball and footballand the TV keeps up with the rate of play withoutblurring. My daughter watches cartoons on non-HDchannels and they look amazing. At first, I thought the
 
non-HD channels left a bit to be desired, but the more Iwatch this TV, the more I'm impressed. I can't imaginethere's a better deal out there for a TV this size.I was in the market for a HDTV upgrade. After thinkingabout it, what size I wanted, Consumer Reports cameinto mind, so I went there to shop for tvs and readAmazon reviews as well.I was deciding between this tv or a Sony Bravia HDTV(very similiar features). I decided to go with this onebecause of the favorable ratings by Consumer Reportsand some customers.Particularly pleasing to me is the quality of the remotecontrol and 120 HZ REFRESH RATE. I play videogames and I noticed a BIG difference in picture qualitywith most motion blur being removed. THAT, and thenice big screen made playing my old video games funagain, like you were really immersed in the scenes andscenery.
 
But something else that often gets overlooked by theconsumer I think, is THE REMOTE CONTROL!!!!!!In good part, I decided to go with the Panasonic over the Sony, just because one reviewer said the remotecontrol had quality to it.The Panasonic remote is solid feeling and NOTCHEAP feeling like another SONY remote.
