Product Description
Panasonic TH-42PX60UAmazon.com Product Description
Featuring Panasonic's 9th generation gas-plasma screen, the 42-inch TH-42PX60U features a width-to-height 16:9 aspect ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing a theater-like experience at home. Its maximum of 29 billion colors and over 3,000 shades of gradation provide exceptionally fine detail for outstanding HDTV reproduction. The set's built-in ATSC (DTV) tuner pulls HD signals (480p/720p/1080i) right from the airwaves, and its QAM tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. It also includes a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot, enabling you to take an SD card directly from a digital still camera or camcorder and insert it directly into the TV for quick and colorful photo slideshows.A plasma screen renders vivid colors like you've never seen before (as in, up to 29 billion in this case), extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the TH-42PX60U is a mere 3.7 inches deep, one of the slimmest plasmas around--perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.
The TH-42PX60U features a 1024 x 768-pixel resolution and an amazing contrast ratio of 10000:1. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. Other features include V-Chip parental controls, on/off sleep timers, closed-caption decoding, aspect ratio control, and video input labeling.
The TV's internal stereo speakers are powered by 10 watts per channel (for 20 watts of total power). It features the following connection options:
- Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 2 inputs (with 2 audio inputs)
- HDMI: 2 inputs
- Composite (RCA audio/video): 3 inputs (1 on the front), 1 output
- S-Video: 3 inputs (1 on the front)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any AV source with an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV). HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable.
If a component doesn't have an HDMI connection, you'll also get great picture reproduction using the three-jack component video (Y/Pb/Pr) input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. Component video output is available only for DVD playback.

Had a good picture while it lasted. If I can get the set to turn on, it stays on for about 45 min. then pop! no picture or sound and the little red light flashes 11 times, pauses, and flashes 11 more times. NOT what I expected from a Panasonic product. From what I've read, this is a problem others have experienced with this tv an will cost you $600 or more to be fixed. My solution is to stay away from this Manufacturer and today I purchased a Sony 46" LCD for $950 which includes tax and shipping. Don't be a fool and throw away your $$$$ like I did. I paid $2300 three years ago. You won't pay as much today but do you want to take the chance????

I have had this TV for 2 years and the picture is amazingly clear! For a 720P, I don't know if you will find better clarity. Sounds if average, but you should be using a stereo for surround sound. I have never had a problem and this would be a great buy at todays prices, maybe $600-$700!

Watch out this TV has a ton of problems check out Fixia.com! I have had this less than 2 years and the thing has had 3 major problems. Panasonic has finally given up sending people out to fix it. Now if i want anything I have to pay myself when the TV was a lemmon to begin with. What a joke you pay $1400 for a TV and they rip you off. This TV has 3 common problems 1 The power board (when this happens it will not turn on) 2 The electronics package ( when this happens it give u bar code lines usually the left hand side 3 The plasma screne itself ( when this happens half or all the screne will go black or white) DO NOT BUY THIS TV

I cannot say enough good things about this television. Only wish it had a computer input, but my new comp has component video out, so that is no longer a problem either. Stunning screen, made the super bowl that much better. Highly, highly recommended.
