Plasma and LCD TV Reviews

The Panasonic TH-42PZ80B is a 42-inch flat screen model with a widescreen option. Since flat screens reflect less light and do not curve at the edges, you experience less picture distortion. The widescreen option also allows you to watch movies in their original format just as the director envisioned them.

One of this television’s most impressive features is its long life expectancy. Its plasma panel is guaranteed to last at least 100,000 hours, which totals approximately 30 years of regular television viewing or 11 years of non-stop usage before the brightness of the display fades by half.

Thanks to the Panasonic’s unique panel production process, the picture contrast is also phenomenal. Panasonic’s Real Black system produces crisp blacks with superb contrast. This means that colours are more expressive, and darks have clearer resolution than other competitors’ models. Panasonic also uses next-generation xvYCC colour space which supports almost two times as many colours as existing high definition television signals.

This model’s pixel resolution is also 1024 x 768 pixels. The higher the pixel resolution, the sharper and clearer images appear on-screen. So whether you are gaming, watching fast-paced sporting events, or enjoying blockbuster-action movies, you’ll always get the clearest shots with the most definition. The unit is even conveniently mounted on a pedestal stand for easy movement to line up exactly with your seating positions.

The Panasonic TH-42PZ80B also arrives HD-ready, and it is compatible with many home theatre systems including Onkyo and Yamaha. HDMI cables also make it easy to connect with your DVD recorder, Blu-Ray disc player, video camera, and laptop. This variety ensures that you’ll be relaxing and enjoying theatre-quality viewing from the comfort of your own home faster than you ever imagined possible.

One of the Panasonic TH-42PZ80B’s additional attributes is its easy-to-navigate menu system. The fonts on the menus are crisp, and the options are organised logically so it is easy to locate desired features. A universal remote control is also included, and you can use this same remote to operate your new TV as well as your other electronics.

Additional features include:

• Integrated Freview ReceiverPC input
• 100 Hz dual screen
• Desktop stand included
• Child lock
• Headphone socket
• Sleep timer
