Panasonic Viera TH-42PX80U 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV

I bought this TV from adorama through amazon. After connecting to power outlet, I watched this TV only for 10 minutes. After that, it turned off automatically. I tried connecting to different power outlets and it doesn't work. Once, it turns off, the remote also doesn't work. I requested for an exchange/return to adorama and they said they cannot take it back because of their return policies. So, I called panasonic customer care, and since they couldn't help me in fixing through phone, they sent their authorized dealers (Advanced Electronic)to pick up the TV to fix it.

They came and took the TV by Oct. 20, and still now they have not fixed it. I tried calling them several times and they are not picking up the phone, and I called panasonic customer care center to get the status. Even they couldn't help me for last two weeks. It's been around a month, I bought this TV and not even watched it for 10 minutes. I will not suggest this TV to anyone. It's horrible experience.

If you're purchasing (or thinking about purchasing) this TV, chances are, this is your first venture into the wonderful world of HDTV's. This was the case with me. I'll keep it short. I got this tv for around 765, shipping included. This TV was SO worth it. I haven't regretted the purchase for 1 moment. The black levels are deep, the colors are vibrant, and there are no false contours that I have been able to perceive. All things I was worried about before the purchase. I could not tell you the difference between a 1080 and 720 on the 42" screen. The picture is impeccable. If you have the money and are wondering if the purchase is worth it, just know that this TV completely satisfied my needs. And if you're new to the HDTV world, it will satisfy yours, too. (Just do it... )

THIS NEW PLASMA PANASONIC REPLACED A 1 YR OLD VIZIO LCD 32 INCH AND WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE! IM NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE SPECS OF THE PANASONIC(WHICH YOU CAN FIND EASILY BY OTHER REVIEWS AND PRODUCT DESCRIPTION), BUT I MUST SAY I LOVE THIS TV. IT HAS A MUCH BETTER, BRIGHTER, CLEARER PICTURE THAN MY VIZIO. THE SET UP WAS EASIER AS WELL...I TOOK IT OUT OF THE BOX, PUT THE STAND ON, RUN A HDMI TO MY HDTV CABLE RECORDER, PLUGGED IN TO ELECTRICAL SURGE PROTECTOR AND PRESSED THE POWER BUTTON...I DID NOT ADJUST ANY SETTINGS...AND WAS AMAZED AT THE QUALITY OF THE PICTURE. I CAN STOP WATCHING TV NOW...WHICH IS THE ONLY DRAWBACK(LOL). I RESEARCHED HDTV'S FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND ALMOST BOUGHT THE SAMSUNG, BUT THE PANASONIC HAD A BETTER PRICE. GET THIS TV AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY REGRETS. BTW, I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND HAD NO PROBS AT ALL.

I am not really a Plasma TV guy. I had heard bad things about them (burn in, dimming bulbs, etc.)and I already own a Samsung 40' LCD. After viewing this TV, I can honestly say that this outperforms my Samsung......and I LOVE my Samsung. This is now in my bedroom, but I am thinking about moving this to the Living Room and putting the Samsung in my bedroom.

At 650.00, I got an absolute steal. I def. recommend this TV. After reading reviews, it seems that most people share my opinion

I researched flat screen TVs on CNET and Amazon before deciding on the Panasonic 42 inc 720p plasma. After a month of viewing, I am very happy w/ the picture, color, and sound. This TV is now in our family room but will eventually find a place in our master bedroom. I chose Amazon over Best Buy or Costco because the price was compeitive and included delivery. The folks who delivered the set were quick and courteous. They delivered, unpacked, installed the base, placed the set where I wanted, connected the cables, and turned the set on before leaving w/ the packing materials. The 42 inch 720p is fine for our bedroom since I don't plan to watch dvds and the set is over 10 feet away. Our experience w/ Amazon is a positive one; I would buy my next TV from them.
