Panasonic TX-P42X10 Reviews: Viera, 42" Screen Plasma HD Ready TV

+ An excellent picture that is as good as most Full HD televisions. At this price you just can't go wrong. As easy to set up as any TV I have ever purchased. Looks great too.

- None that I can think of at thye moment of writing this review.

+ excellent allround package for the average viewer.Great value when bought online.Easy setup,and ease of use,
Brilliant picture,especially in sky hd,and better than average sound.Recommended.

- None really,not full hd,but ordinary dvd playback is fine.Xbox is fine also. Bluray and console nuts,may want a full hd tv but I would buy this and save yourself 300 quid.

+ Very good freeveiw picture, easy to set up, very good value for money.

- The picture is not too good when being used as a pc monitor. Other tvs have in-viewing tv guides, this feature is missing..

+ Picture and ease of use

- Sound is a bit weak and the 'N' (reset) button on the remote makes it far too easy to reset all settings.

+ Easy to set up
Large remote buttons

- No button to jump between previous and current channel.
The page down (on menu) button is far from the menu/guide button

+ free sat built in,picture quality,ease of use,slot for sd card

- none i can think of

+ as above all good.easy to unpack.easy to install.

- none

+ Picture, Value for Money.

- None

+ Price, screen size, you wont miss 1080p, no issue with playing PS3 on a plasma

- none

+ Picture quality is excellent with both SD and HD. It may not be full HD but Bluray looks brilliant. Colours are vibrant contrast excellent and motion handling when watching sports is also very good, better than my previous LCD HDTV.

- Sound can be a bit indistinct when at high volume, then again this is the case with most TVs, I output the sound through my hi-fi amp and no problem with big action movies!

+ Great mid-price model TV, with really good quality sound and picture for the price. Plenty of external outlets for running extra kit like sound surround, DVD, videocam, digital photos, etc. etc. Very straight forward to install and set up with a sensible instruction booklet that doesn't require a PhD in electronics to understand!

- Wide, shiny black screen surround and stand, which in my view, cheapens the look of what is otherwise a great mid-price TV that does exactly what it says on the tin.

+ Overall well designed television with easy to use controls.

- Sometimes the screen has 'waves' in it usually on Sky.

+ picture quality
easy to use with other equipment ( CD player, virgin

+ Great picture and sound. Read some reviews which stated that the sound quality was not good but in my experience it is fine. I am very pleased with this TV, if you're thinking about buying I would suggest you think no more, it's a real bargain.

- Once or twice the screen has frozen when first turned on. But turn off and on again and all is fine

+ Excellent picture quallity, Jet Black colour which happens to match the Stand. Good remote control after you get the use of it.Could not of Purchased a better TV for the price i paid.

+ Clean modern look with great visual and sound. Plenty of plug slots and i really liked the fact you can attach your PC to the TV and also you can put your camera memory card in the TV to view your pictures.

- What i dislike and can be very annoying is you have to use the TV remote to turn the sound up, change channel etc. It will not accept the SKY remote as a default.

+ Sleek, excellent picture quality and easy to set up with automatic set up facility

+ ease & speed of installation . I was so impressed I purchased 0ne for my brother-inlaw .

- havent found any yet

+ Excellent quality picture, very easy to set-up and use, great value for money - you'd struggle to find a 42 inch plasma of this quality for this kind of price.

- The stand is fixed and doesn't swivel (predecessor models did have a swivelling stand).
Annoying adverts appear on the Electronic Programme Guide (I gather this is the case on all recent Panasonics).
The finish is a little plasticky (though this model isn't aimed at the top end of the market, and it certainly doesn't look cheap).

+ Great looking! Easy set up and great picture and sound quality.

- None.

+ Great picture and overall ease of use.

- So far I have owned the TV for 5 weeks and there are NO bad points.

+ picture quality

- mediocre sound

+ Great picture quality at a very reasonable price

- Non-swivelling stand

+ Everything one would want in a large plasma TV, the full range of inputs and outputs.
Simple to configure the various options but largely uneccessary to make adjustments.
I love the very very low power consumption whilst on standby.
Looks as good as any of the other large plasma TVs
Works great with Sky+ and it's remote controll.
Works great with the Panasonic Surround sound throughthe Viera Link
Really sharp image from a Blue Ray DVD player

- The only small "niggle", if I had to find one, is the slightly slow speed of screen mode switching when going from standard resolution to HD resolution or vice versa.
The set displays an interim screen whilst switching for about 1.5 seconds.

+ Lovely clear picture good quality sound easy to use

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Looks fantastic, picture quality better than the rest of its kind and sounds superb

- i think it would benefit from a swivel base..................as we dont all want to wall mount t.v.'s

+ Excellent product in all respects. Sound quality perhaps it's weakest point but nevertheless perfectly acceptable. Extremely good value for money.

- None of any significance.

+ Very slim and attractive fits in with the decor

- None

+ Overall very pleased with the purchase. The design is nice ,and a good feature of the set is that you can turn off the stand by from the front of the TV. Most sets on the market don't have this feature whereby the set remains on unless you take the plug out completely.

- Nothing as yet.

+ The tv was easy to assemble and a good price for the make although the picture is quite fuzzy if you look close to the tv but perfect if away from it this isn't something i expected from a plasma it's not a problem but i just wandered why this happens!. The sound is good although the design i expected there to be silver in it at the bottom this is not the case so the picture looks a little different it's more sutle grey and that did disappoint me although i am happy all round with the tv and price and got the stand to go with it at half proce so was happy at that.

- Fuzzy picture when close up

+ Nice looking tv. Good value for money. Nice clear picture.
