Panasonic VIERA TC-P42G25 42-Inch 1080pPlasma HDTV Review
Did my research andfound Amazon had thebest deal and Panasonichas the best plasma tv.Low price, free shipping,finance program, etc,etc.Shipping was within thetime set. Packing wasdone very well. The outer box was rough, but withall the inner packing theinner box was pristine.The tv picture is amazing.Black blacks, brilliant colors, sharp contrast, games aremuch better, can read the small print. Compared to a 26"crt., a 32"& 24" 720p lcd. Set up was easy. Have not triedall the things it can do, but those are just a bonus to thepicture quality I was after. For that, plasma is a better choice. A PS3 and wii are hooked up for games. We get tvprograming through directv. Family is very happy. Onlyhad it a month so will see what long term viewing andplaying with the bonuses provide.
Although I have been working in the AV industry for many years I have been holding back - seen a lot of feature hype and hoopla go by but this is the first flatscreen plasma I liked with a price that was reasonable.For a couple of years now I have been looking for anHDTV with wide viewing angels - worked well in dark or well lit room without too much reflection - rich accuratecolor reproduction - Works well with games or sportsmotion - works well with over the air/cable SD signals or SD DVD play back - ease of use - easy break in - Minimalchance of image retention - Multiple input/outputs -reasonable price.We have had our 42G25 now for several weeks and havebeen very pleased with our choice - did have to buy thecomponent cables for our Wii which improved the picturequality fairly well for an SD video game. We alsopurchased a Panasonic Bluray player with the TV it worksnicely with SD or Bluray playback - The TV's THXcertified picture setting is very pleasing and color accuratefor movies - I use the Custom setting for over the air andcable TV watching with a few minor adjustment tweaks Igot excellent results. Both the TV and player have internet
abilities - I have used utube so far works fine. Also I waseasily able to updated the firmware for both TV andplayer. Bought a Mini DVI to HDMI adapter to use my 2yr. old MacBook computer works fine @ 1920x1080presolution streaming Hulu etc. There is an RGB port onthe TV but only lower resolutions work - since RGB islimited anyway I would use the HDMI port if your computer is 1080p capable. The sound is a little on thetinny side for me but my wife doesn't seem to mind itpersonally I usually use the AV amplifier when watchingTV or Movies. The TV remote is easy to use and lights up.The BR player remote is also easy use but does not lightup not sure I get that - it makes it very awkward to use inthe dark. So I just put everything on our Sony universal2100 remote and the wife was happy controlling allsources with one touch screen remote that lights up.
One last thing - I'm keeping an eye on the alleged "risingblack levels" but I have not notice anything yet. I'll repost if anything comes up. However I do recommend this TV to allit's a good value, sharp accurate picture and a great product.
