Panasonic TH-42PX80U Plasma TV
  • 720p HD Plasma Panel (1,366 x 768 pixels)
  • Contrast Ratio: 1,000,000:1 Dynamic
  • 480hz Sub-field Drive Technology
  • Equivalent to 4,096 Shades of Gradation
  • NEW AR (Anti-Reflective) Filter
Description
With an incredible depth of crisp, clear, real-life colors created by a wide range of black gradations, VIERA flat panel HDTVs truly usher in a new VISUAL ERA. Improved resolution delivers theater-quality reproduction, and sporting events such as the Olympics, plus season premieres and other programming are displayed in exciting, vivid color—no matter how lively the movement in the action. Outstanding picture quality, connectivity and service. That's VIERA.

Over 900 Lines with 480Hz Sub-field Drive
Even subtle movements are clear and easy to judge. Self-illuminating plasma displays feature high moving picture resolution, so there are no more frustrating afterimages in fast-action scenes. You enjoy smooth, clear motion in sports scenes, like Olympic competition and in the action scenes of movies.

Digital Optimizer
A digital noise detection circuit detects the areas and amounts of noise in each scene and then applies the optimal noise reduction to combat it. All types of images come through noise-free.

Motion Pattern Noise Reduction
This function detects motion patterns that tend to generate noise and makes adjustments to maximize image quality. Even scenes with a variety of motion images are crystal-clear.

High Contrast 1,000,000:1 [Native 15,000:1]
Every image is richly expressive, from bright scenes, like scorching desert landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Contrast is enhanced by the new Real Black Drive system (a pre-discharge control system) and a higher base luminance from improvements made to the panel production process. The high contrast creates deep, robust blacks and faithfully reproduces scenes with a delicate balance of light and shadow.

Deep Color
Deep Color (HDMI V.1.3) is an image enhancing technology supported by HDMI 1.3. Its outstanding color gradation exceeds the capability of current 8-bit/color systems.

      Comments about Panasonic TH-42PX80U 42-inch Plasma HDTV:

      This TV is for our main viewing in the family room. Great picture. We watch movies and sports, which is why I bought the plasma, for clarity in quick action. It performs up to my expectations from all the reviews I had read.

        I have nothing bad to say about this TV. I like the ability (and that its simple) to zoom so the picture is not stretched but I doubt that is unique to this model. I like the easy front HDMI hookup for watching movies from the computer.

          99% thrilled. Only negatives are that the channel antenna strength is buried in the menu, and the occasional computer-like glitch such as briefly forgetting channels.

          Comments about Panasonic TH-42PX80U 42-inch Plasma HDTV:

          Great TV -- but you will probably want to link it to a surround sound system for any movie watching you plan. Not to say the speakers aren't normally adequate -- they are, just nothing special to keep up with the rest of the TV's quality.
