CNET Review
The Good: Relatively inexpensive; produces a deep shade of black; accurate initial color temperature; solid connectivity with three HDMI inputs; handsome, understated exterior.
The Bad: Color decoding accentuates red; inaccurate primary color of green; ineffective noise reduction.
The Bottom Line: Panasonic's TH-42PX80U 42-inch plasma sets the picture quality-to-value standard for entry-level plasma TVs.
