Good TV/Great Price by RonBo (New Jersey)

For $600 -- no tax and no shipping charges -- this is a great entry-level HD TV. I had a sony 27" tube TV for 9 years and wanted to get into HD without spending too much because the tech changes so quickly. Once I get used to all the particulars of HD watching, in a couple years I'll take more of a risk with something cutting edge. Probably the only change would've been to jump up to 1080, to really take advantage of HD, but that would have been another $200. This Panasonic 42" is a good, solid buy, so don't get too bogged down in research like I did. The picture, sound and use are all very good. If this is your first HD TV, you won't be blown away, but you'll be pleasantly satisfied, which is a great place to start. Also, the white glove shipping service that Amazon gave for free was great.

I bought this TV as a second TV. Its a little big for the use but at the price, it was too good to pass up. It is a 720 not 1080 but at 42" and our viewing distance I can't really tell the difference. Our viewing is mostly all HD/satellite and we are very happy with this TV. The only negative, and its a nit-pick is that the stand does not swivel, but we have ours a separate swivel that also holds the satellite box. A great choice for saving some money if, like me, you can't stand the motion blur of LCDs.

Excellent picture and features and great price. Although I still prefer my JVC rear projection TV for its picture and size, this TV is an excellent choice for a smaller room than our den. The only downside to this TV is the 720P limitation which would be an issue if you want to use it with Blueray or other high definition sources. On the plus side, it has an SD card reader that allows you set up a slide show with digital pictures. This TV replaced a smaller Vizio LCD TV and has a much better picture than the Vizio.

TV is good, but shipping is not. by lemonsky (santa clara, ca, USA)

Yes. 720P is enough. 42 inch is also enough for me (less than 3 meter distance). CONS: But the channel scan is not perfect. 1st, each time you scan auto, the previous result is remove all. Because now is digital TV broadcast, so you may not scan all channel at one time due to antenna direction(if you haven't cable service). That's a problem for me. Sometimes I could found channel 4 and 11, but now I couldn't while almost 44 channel are scan out. Shipping is not so good. Pilot customer service seem to lie to me. They didn't call me by shipping date. I called the customer service and she said they already called me but no answer. But my wife stayed in home all day, and there is answer system with my home phone. I really doubt they always play this tricky. Also the guys take the TV into my living room and mount the TV. But they left the package box.
