blurry dvds aren't that great on this thing. the image is slightly blurry.
I compared it side by side with a tube tv and the tube is razor sharp. If you don't compare it side by side it's hard to notice. This is partly because one assumes any blurryness is from the scene.
CRT (tube) is the way to go. It's a shame they're stopping to make tubes.

Hard to believe it's not 1080p I have been researching TV's for the last few months and doing some serious demos of the various types of sets, DLP, LCD Plasma etc.
Today I was in Tweeter comparing 1080p sets. All the sets were displaying the same satellite HDTV signal.
I was studying the Samsungs, Sony Bravias and Pioneer Elites when I spotted this 42" Panasonic. I was amazed with the picture, it was so sharp, had such high contrast with such deep blacks, natural colors and 3D depth of image.

My SECOND Panasonic Plasma This is the second Plasma EDTV that I have purchased. The first was in May of 2005, during which time I did extensive research on HDTV and EDTV. I also looked at DLP's, LCD's and Projection, which none really appealed to my needs. I narrowed my decision to the Panasonic models. I look at other brands, but cost, reviews, and instinct lead me to the Panasonics. Before purchasing, I went into Circuit City to compare the difference in picture quality between the HDTV model and the EDTV model. Now...

Panasonic edtv After much research, I still had some questions regarding the performance of the EDTV vs HDTV, but since my purchase of the Panasonic 42PD60U TV, I couldn't imagine the HDTV version being "that" much better. This TV has an incredible picture and is very user friendly. A great value!

Plasma The TV is perfect and the delivery time would have been perfect if it wasn't through Global Eagle or whatever the co's name was. It took them eons to find an availbale delivery date, then I waited 4 hours and stayed home from work, then it finaly was delivered 4 hours after that. Thank goodness my roommate was home by chance.

Great picture Outstanding picture from Dish Network. Really loved the golf pictures from Hawaii, one even looked 3-D. Great pictures using the antenna, even though some distance away.(rural area) Love the HD shows received, even the non HD's have super color. Find ourselves watching more of the HD sites than the non sites. Viewed a newer LCD and it wasn't even close. Brand of the LCD was not good(Polaroid) but still much,much better picture on the Panasonic. Sound is very acceptable. Not being an audiph...

Great for movies on DVD DVDs look fantastic on this set. The blacks are extremely black and the colors are gorgeous. The 852x480 screen resolution makes the set less than ideal for HD content, but it's hard to beat for standard content. If you're going to be watching standard DVDs and TV anyway, definitely consider it.
Other Pros: Excellent contrast. Solidly built. Decent speakers for casual use. Easy setup.
Other Cons: Price advantage of EDTV vs. similar Panasonic HDTV plasmas has eroded. Rem...

Great set, but potential problem if you use both cable and antenna This TV has a great picture rivaling many true HD sets. I agree with most of the comments in the other 4- and 5-star reviews in this regard.
The only complaint I have is one which probably won't affect many other people. I have analog-only cable plus an antenna for local HD broadcasts. While the set has tuners for both cable and antenna, it's an either/or choice, and it is not easy to switch back and forth. I have an A-B switch to switch the antenna input on the set between cable an...

480P is not HDTV but LOOKS GREAT this is the 9th generation of plasma screen technology for Panasonic...which scores just second to Pioneer according to leading editorial reviews...the Digital Mandate will occur in 2009...the 4 major networks are the only ones federally required to go digital...if your like me and you have DirecTV sattelitte...i know i enjoy about 100 other channels...these other channels are no time soon going to be airing anything HD programming that is 720p or 1080i...but they will be at least required to st...

EDTV isn't HDTV by any stretch of the imagination... If you can't see the difference, get your eyes checked. There is nothing you can do to make a non-HD signal look anything like HDTV; garbage in, garbage out. And no, turning your sharpness to 100 doesn't count as HDTV. A friend had his new HDTV hooked up wrong, using s-video from his HDTV reciever - was very excited at how great his new tv looked. I pointed out, that, no offense, that isn't HDTV. He was confused - we got some component cables, hooked it up right, and his jaw was to the floor. Th...
