Amazing color reproduction

The incredible black reproduction of a Panasonic High-Definition Plasma TV results in impressive contrast and beautiful, natural colors. So you'll get warm, accurate skin tones, gorgeous greens, breathtaking blues and vivid reds. For color that's as rich and bold as life itself, look to a Panasonic Plasma TV.

Consistent brightness from any angle

A Panasonic Plasma combines anti-glare and anti-reflection technology with the natural light-emitting properties of plasma, to give you a super-wide viewing range with a crisp, beautiful image from almost any angle.

Smooth, graceful motion

When you're watching sports or movies with fast-motion graphics, you want a TV that can keep up with the action. With over 900 lines of moving picture, self-illuminating plasma displays eliminate afterimages in fast-action scenes. So whether you're watching a sporting event or an action-packed movie, you'll always get the most impressive viewing experience possible.

1,000,000:1 Contrast

The Panasonic's Real Black system (a pre-discharge suppression system) and improved panel production processes combine to reproduce outstanding blacks with superb contrast. Each image is richly expressive, from bright scense, like scorching desert landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Compare the image produced by conventional HDTV on the left to the Real Black image produced on the right

More Colors

Viera HDTVs support the xvYCC color profile (Extended YCC Colorimetry for Video Applications), or "x.v. color" for short. Standard RGB color space allows the display of a portion of the colors that are viewable to the human eye. The next generation "xvYCC" color space actually offers an available range of colors that exceeds what human eyes can recognize.
  • Next-generation "xvYCC" color space supports 1.8 times as many colors as existing HDTV signals
  • Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately
  • Enables displays with more natural and vivid colors

deep color eliminates visible color banding

Deep Color

Where x.v. color expands the available range of colors your HDTV can display, Deep Color increases the number of colors your HDTV can display within that range, for smoother transitions from color to color.
  • Lets HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to billions of colors
  • Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors
  • Enables increased contrast ratio
  • Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white.

Connectivity

Viera flat panel HDTVs interact with an array of high-definition devices and services, making it easy for consumers to access and enjoy content as never before. As of 2008, Viera Link is compatible with Onkyo and Yamaha home theater systems.
SD Cards Videos and stills recorded on SD cards can easily be viewed via the SD slots on Panasonic Blu-Ray Disc players and Viera HDTVs.
Viera Link Viera Link means easy connectivity via HDMI cables. Finally, consumers can easily operate their Blu-Ray Disc players, DVD recorders and home theater systems with a single remote control device.

long life

Long Life

Panasonic plasma panels are rated to last 100,000 hours, which is about 30 years of regular or 11 years of non-stop usage before the brightness of the display is halved.

Blu-Ray disc player

Get Full HD with Blu-Ray Disc Players

A Panasonic 1080p plasma television is able to render 1920x1080 pixels, but standard DVDs have a resolution of just 720x480. Blu-ray discs output true 1080p High-Definition resolution and have a storage capacity ten times greater than standard DVDs, so no pixel gos to waste.

  GREAT PRICE AND GREAT 1 ST PLAMA   January 7, 2009
Tim Bryant (LOS Angeles)
I didnt know where to begin in lookin for a new tv to replace my old 17 year old tv for my living room. I did know that I didnt want to send a whole lot of money on my first tv but I wanted a great quality tv. After looking over 20 websites and over 6 months I finally settle on this Tv. I must say that so far Im very happy with the tv and the white glove service that I recive from Ceva and Amazon. I order this TV around 10 at night and the very next day it shipped =) I also tracked my package on the amazon and ceva website which always was undated daily somethime twice a day with info about the progesses of my package. I was not to recive my tv till fri but I ended up getting it 4 days ahead of the date that was posted on the site. I read about other people experenice with white golve but mines was nothing but the best. They called me to set up a appt the same day between 11 and 1 and they came out around 1130 set up the tv on the stand and even took away the box. The guys was very nice and i wish i could have tip them i think ill will contact them later. as for the tv the picture is great out the box. Ill add to this review later after direct tv comes on sat to install the HD channel and I will really get the full effect of this plasam. Overall I happy as of now and I love this Tv.



  A to Z Guarantee is Worthless   January 7, 2009

I have ordered many items on Amazon.com and have always had an excellent customer experience until I ordered a 42" Plasma TV that was offered by Adorama Camera, an Amazon.com vendor. I purchased the TV for my aging parents as a Christmas gift. The TV was delivered damaged with a shattered screen. Delivery was rejected and returned to seller. Adorama said they had no more TVs in stock and would return my purchase price through Amazon. I submitted an A to Z Guarantee claim to Amazon. Amazon said it was my fault because the seller included a disclosure that said I had to submit a claim to the manufacturer for warranty replacement or repair. THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY CLAIM AND THE ITEM WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. I'm in the middle still trying to get my money back from Amazon. What a nightmare at Christmas! PLEASE HELP ME!



  Great Product   January 6, 2009
Roderick P. Aquino (NORTH CANTON, OHIO United States)
Received my Plasma TV within 8 days from placing my order. Delivery service was very friendly, bringing into my home, unpacking to inspect for damaage. White glove service at no cost. The Panasonic HDTV Plasma is great. The picture quality excellent and easy setup. The only draw back is the TV remote only operates the TV not the cable box or other
components. Consumer reports rates this unit # 1 for quality 42" Plasma
TV. Gread price, great service and entertainment!! Recommend.

I had been searching and doing the research for a while on Tv's. Fell in love with the plasmas. The 720 is a great picture. The presentation and overall look of the tv is awesome, updating any room. Easy set up. Couldn't be happier with this purchase, and with the price. I got a fantastic deal on an incredible electronic.

Ordered the Panasonic Plasma TH-42PX80U on 12/3/08 and it was delivered within the dates promised by Amazon. White glove service was excellent - unpacking and making sure the set turned on as-well-as removing boxes etc. The white glove service doesn't included attaching the stand (if not already attached) nor the tuning and set up of the picture. Both were relatively easy for yours truly (a non-techy) to do. I'd suggest you try to setup the set yourself versus spending bucks to have a 3rd party do it.
The picture quality of the Panasonic is excellent and believe a plasma 720 is the best way to go. The anti-reflective technology reduces any glare issues to almost zero. Compare Amazon pricing before buying any place else! Track pricing over a period as their price changes almost daily. Bottom line the Amazon pricing was the best value and their shipping and handling was excellent.
