Costumer Reviews

I spent a extended time reading evaluations from owners of TVs and also a couple of the extra technical evaluations ahead of taking the plunge and spending my difficult earned money. I was seeking for a receiver of about 40", not too concerned regardless of whether LCD or Plasma though I gather that both have their merits. I wanted to devote no extra than about £400 and finally opted for this model. I have been utilizing it now for a week and have to say that I am extremely impressed. It was incidentally bought to replace an wonderful but enormous Philips CRT. A buddy of mine who owns a leading of the range Sharp Aquos says that the Philips from time to time looked like it was receiving HD transmissions via Sky (non HD) or when watching DVDs. It was undoubtedly superb (I have a new smaller Samsung LCD also for comparison also) and so the new Panasonic had a fair normal to reside up to.

I think that the Panasonic Plasma is terrific and I am pretty pleased with the acquire. I use it for Sky reception (nevertheless non HD) and watching DVDs and some old tapes. I have never ever played a video game in my life and do not intend to, and so performance of this medium I cannot comment on. The image is pretty a lot as great as I've observed and the sound is also remarkable (compares well with the Philips CRT which had substantial, deep speakers) - note that the speakers are forward facing on the Panasonic, rather than downward or rear facing as with countless LCD models. There are many settings out there for picture and sound and I'd be amazed if the typical viewer was unable to locate settings to their satisfaction. The colours tend to be slightly muted compared to my Samsung LCD and this I choose, it looks even more natural. The set is also very solid and well made, the rear panel is metal rather than plastic as with a large number of other TVs, particularly at the lower finish of the value range. The stand is especially solid, again with a metal/steel upright section and so the receiver sits particularly securely.

A single point of interest to prospective purchasers - it has only a single Scart socket (while a lot of other connections) and some owners on the web have commented that they have had issues connecting both a regular (non HDMI) Sky box AND a DVD recorder/player. I followed the configuration instructions that came with the Panasonic handbook and it all functions totally fine, no need to have for Scart switches or something complex. Double check that your Scart connections are as advised if you are having concerns - Sky Box out to the DVD recorder, recorder out to the Tv.

My only criticism is that the glass screen does suffer reflections in vibrant sunlit rooms. I am employed to this to some extent as my earlier CRT Tv has a glass screen also, but it can be distracting in vivid daylight. This is the only cause why I've not given the Panasonic 5 stars. Otherwise this is an exceptional Television set and truly beneficial value for revenue, highly recommended.

Bought this set getting observed it in John Lewis, at a bargain £[]! So anybody reading this and has the cash should SERIOUSLY look into it - then purchase it on Amazon as JL has sold out! I agree with all the other comments on this set - its superb! I was replacing a Panasonic 26" LCD with this 42 incher and so connecting it up was a two minute job. Auto tune then took 6 minutes and we were away. It is just a question of setting the colour, sound etc to private taste which is particularly easy too. I have a panasonic DVD recorder and Sky+ box conencted to the 2 x HDMI sockets and it all works perfectly.
