The best TV ever

by sean-c , Feb 24 '03
Pros: Slim design, Versatile display, brilliant picture
Cons: not native 1080i or 720p
I bought my PT-42PD3-P online for about $3700. It's a sleek 3.5" thick and weighs less than my old Zenith 27" CRT TV.(only 65 lbs.) I found that it has really opened up my room by taking up less real estate. (a hot commodity in a condo)

great value and engineering

by patrickthickey , Mar 27 '02
Pros: Style, depth, quality of image, price
Cons: gradually increasing buzz from transformers, "auto" aspect mode is quirky.
It is important to draw a distinction between the commercial and the industrial versions of this unit. The image associated with this review is the shiny chrome version - the commercial one. It is marked up 2-3 thousand over the industrial version which ...

Very Good. Recommended wholeheartedly

by qb_receiver , Dec 18 '03
Pros: Colors, Contrast ratio, picture quality, frame-like simple design
Cons: lack of inputs, not the real thing (HD)
Now that I have owned this TV for almost one year, I think I am qualified to write about my experience. It is not an HD TV but frankly I can not tell the difference. The few sporadic HD programs I get through cable look absolutely awesome. Especially ...

New Panasonic Owner's Review!

by sxgautam , Feb 07 '03
Pros: Affordable, Picture quality, Great contrast, colors, Simple remote operation.
Cons: Almost too easy to set up!
INTRO: After much deliberation and countless visits to area retailers, finally settled on Panasonic's PT-42PD3-P. Boils down to price vs. features. Since my condo receives free basic cable, hence poorer signal quality, I had fears that a plasma monitor...

Amazing display

by plange , Dec 09 '02
Pros: Beautiful picture, stylish design
Cons: None
Just bought the commercial version (TH-42PWD5UY) after extensive research and am pleased beyond already high expectations. Set-up is a breeze (commercial model requires BNC connectors), but the all important factor is the picture quality. DVD is...

State of the art in plasma

by Alpers , Jun 13 '02
Pros: Crystal clear picture, light weight, good value
Cons: few; slight (barely audible) hum from fan
This monitor is not the first generation produced by Panasonic, and it shows. I have read several professional reviews (good source is plasmatvbuyingguide.com) and this one is the favorite.

First picture quality: I ran it first with a VCR as...

A New Age in Televisons

by buysalot , Mar 03 '02
Pros: Size/Weight, Flat Screen, Quality of image.
Cons: Lack of inputs, screen reflectivity
This is a review of the Panasonic TH42PWD4, which replaced the 42PD3P at the end of 2001.
I purchased this 42" Plasma HDTV set from DVDT for $5499.00 plus $299 for a table stand and $169 for shipping. They shipped quickly through an air cargo...

Panasonic PT 42PD3P 42" Plasma Panel

by le71 , May 14 '03
Pros: Quality of picture
Cons: It's just a display pannel, not a TV. Price.
I bought this from a local store after 6 months of researching. I chose Panasonic b/c it has real black drive system. Unlike tube TV, plasma panel often has difficulty in producing blackness color. Brightness is often not a problem for plasma TV. ...
