1Died too young  Jun 22, 2010
Buyer beware! I bought the Panasonic TH-42PX80U in October 2008. The picture was great and I loved it. Nineteen months later, the set died. Just like that, dead as a rock. Apparently the power supply has gone out and the estimates to fix are more than the cost of a new one. Panasonic has been NO help whatsoever. The manufacturer's warranty expired after one year and they made it clear they will not allow any leeway. Buy one if you feel like gambling, otherwise stay away from Panasonic and their horrible product support.

5Great easy LCD television  Jun 01, 2010
Between work, home and for my parents I have purchased four of these Panasonics. They have a good quality image and easy to use and connect. The SD card player is super slow so don't buy it for that (we rarely use it) and the iPod connector seems cool but we've never used it. Remote control is good and easy, my 70's parents can easily navigate. It get's surprisingly great reception of free broadcast HD Television signal from an antenna, DVD's and Blu-rays look great also. It's a simple 720 HD TV for reasonable price and gives superior image to others out there.

5AWESOME tv for the price.  Feb 12, 2010
I bought this tv for xmas for myself over a year ago, and It has been really a great tv. good for movies, games, and regular old TV. I would recommend it to anyone

5Excellent value  Nov 10, 2009
I have had this tv for close to a year now. I purchased it with amazon's white glove delivery included. The delivery company called to schedule a time, and they actually came out on a Sunday to accommodate my work schedule. The tv is beautiful and has great resolution. The customer service is outstanding. I was a bit challenged hooking up older models of DVD player and VCR and the customer service guy patiently talked me through the connection. There is a very easy to use function to switch to dvd or vcr play. Set up is easy. The only problem I've had (and it's probably that I don't have the connection quite right) is that I have to turn up the volume from the normal 15-20 to 45-55 for dvd play. I am very happy with this tv and highly recommend it.

5Months of Research Resulted in a Great TV  Apr 24, 2009
Not always the first one to jump on the bandwagon, I was definitely leery about spending a bundle of cash on an HD set when my tube TV seemed just fine. This is, of course, until Amazon and other retailers had this baby available earlier this year at a fantastic...unbeatable, really, price.

Now, I warmed to the idea, but again, I need to know what exactly I'm doing with my hard earned cash. I spent countless hours not only deciding the LCD -vs- Plasma -vs- DLP debate (I settled on plasma), but which brand/size/etc I definitely wanted to stick with until the next "latest and greatest" technology craze bites.

I concluded the Panasonic 42" TH-42PX80U was the way to go. Not only do multiple professional reviews give Panasonic props for displaying the truest blacks, but they also produce a plasma which should have the capacity to run approximately 8 hours a day for the next 20 years. For the price compared ot LCD, at the time, it was a no-brainer for me.

So, while I'm not much for opening new credit cards, I did accept Amazons offer to create a credit line for no interest over a period of six months. To sweeten the deal, I also received Amazon's 'White Glove Delivery' service. A1 absolutely fantastic.

Four months with the new TV, and I'm smitten. It looks great and connected nicely with my Denon AV surround receiver. Blue Ray's look great, as do the new episodes of Lost, and as I'm sure it will when the Cubs win the series this year ;-). Can't believe it took me so long to come around and I have absolutely ZERO regrets trusting Panasonic with my television needs.

I should say, I do not use the TV's audio. this is NOT because the sound is poor; its actually outstanding. I just prefer to put my full audio system to use.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!

Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)

The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)

"
Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."

Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
