Panasonic TH-42WD4U Review by Alan Schuchman from Colorado on 8.29.01
Q:  Describe the picture of the plasma TV/LCD monitor in terms of clarity, color reproduction, contrast and brightness.

A:  Incredible! Right out of the box with no tinkering I found the picture to be fantastic (I previously had a 35" Sony CRT, and my roomate had a 53" Panasonic projection--the plasma beats both hands down). The clarity is crystal clear from corner to corner--you lose nothing no matter where you look on the screen (unlike most tv's where the edges and corners lose clarity in my opinion). The set comes with three separate picture settings -- they adjust the brightness and sharpness for various viewing conditions (they are also adjustable for personal taste and will save your changes). FYI, I run an S-Video feed for Direct TV and component hookup for DVD. I watched Apocalypse Now for the set's maiden voyage and was duly impressed. This is a movie which has intense colors (green jungles, red explosions) and dark blacks (interior of Kurtz's compound) -- the set performed beautifully

Q:  What are your general comments on your Plasma TVs/LCD Monitors? How do you like it?

A:  I love it. Can't imagine using anything else, except for a 50" plasma. I had also purchased an HDTV receiver thinking I would want even the few channels available to take advantage of the set, however, regular broadcasts (Direct TV) and DVD's look so good I returned the HD box until more becomes available. Filling the 16x9 screen really changes the viewing experience to more of a theater feeling. You can definitely notice some distortion or loss of clarity on some of the aspect settings, but the monitor has a setting that essentially only adjusts the aspect of the sides of the picture and does not distort the center--this works great!

Q:  How would you best describe the design and looks of the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor?

A:  I hung mine on the wall and it changes the look of the entire room. Simply beautiful, on or off. It is like a piece of art and really draws the eye to it even when off.

Q:  Plasma TV Inputs used? A:  1 Component using RCA - BNC Cables

Q:  How long have you had the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor? A:  Less than 1 Month

Q:  What is the Plasma TV/LCD used for? A:  Home Living Room

Q:  Please explain how the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor was installed.

A:   I used the wall mount. It was quite simple to hang. I drilled holes in the wall and ran the cables behind the wall--highly recommend it for asthetic reasons. Gives the monitor a very clean art-like look.

Q:  Where did you purchase your Plasma TV/LCD Monitor? How was your buying experience?

A:   DTV City. Experience was great. They were very responsive to my anxious calls concerning delivery date. The monitor arrived within 3 days of DTVCity receiving it!

Q:  Your Comments About DTVCity.com:

A:   Nothing that I can think of.

Panasonic TH-42WD4U Review by Ernest Breig from Houston, TX on 11.5.01
Q:  Describe the picture of the plasma TV/LCD monitor in terms of clarity, color reproduction, contrast and brightness.

A:  Clarity is unmached of any 42" plasma sets I've compared. The color is rich and deep. Colors pop right out of the set. We have many windows in our viewing room and I was concerned about a washed out picture during the day. With the dynamic setting on, the picture was bright and had great contrast with a wide viewing angle.

Q:  What are your general comments on your Plasma TVs/LCD Monitors? How do you like it?

A:  I can't watch anolog tv now after seeing what the picture can really look like. Well worth the money spent. Our freinds now rent dvd's and want to watch them at our house after seeing a demo run thru component video and full digital sound. We love it !

Q:  How would you best describe the design and looks of the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor?

A:  Sleek and modern. The simplicity of its looks is such that the monitor could fit in to any decor and only enhance it.

Q:  Plasma TV Inputs used? A:  1 Component using RCA - BNC Cables

Q:  How long have you had the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor? A:  3-12 Months

Q:  What is the Plasma TV/LCD used for? A:  Home Living Room

Q:  Please explain how the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor was installed.

A:   Using an articulated wall mount.

Q:  Where did you purchase your Plasma TV/LCD Monitor? How was your buying experience?

A:   DTVCity. Excellent service. They took the fear of buying over the internet away. I would do it again in a minute.

Q:  Your Comments About DTVCity.com:

A:   I don't think it could be improved apon. Excellent from begining to end.
