Reviews of the Maxent MX-42X3
-
CNET Review
The Good: Inexpensive for a plasma; relatively deep blacks help achieve a high contrast ratio; accurate color decoding; video processing includes 2:3 pull-down.
The Bad: Some visible false contouring artifacts occur just above black; lacks an HDTV tuner and a CableCard slot.
The Bottom Line: In its MX-42X3, Maxent has assembled a bargain 42-inch plasma that performs quite well compared to the higher-priced competition.
