Panasonic TC-P42S2 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV Specifications

Building on its award-winning 2009 Plasma line, Panasonic’s 42-inch VIERA TC-P42S2 Plasma HDTV features a new panel with NeoPDP technologies that provide the best balance of black and white under brighter environments while also offering higher energy efficiency. The new NeoPDP Plasma panel also further reduces reflections and creates sharper pictures with higher contrast in brighter environments. This S2 series model provides 1080p resolution, full-time 1080 TV lines of moving picture resolution, and 600Hz Sub-field Drive for superb motion clarity. ptable width=900 cellpadding=5trtd valign=top width=450img src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/Panasonic/panasonic-10viera-logo-1080p.jpg” alt=”" width=”80″ height=”78″ align=”left” hspace=”15″ vspace=”5″This and other models in the S2 line offer Panasonic’s VIERA Image Viewer feature, which enables you to play slideshows of JPEG images stored on SD memory cards, as well as the VIERA Link feature for controlling a variety of compatible components–from Blu-ray Disc players to digital cameras–through a single remote. This model also includes Panasonic’s Clean Touch Bezel, which resists fingerprints to help keep the surface clean. p Adhering to Panasonic’s commitment to the environment, this VIERA model–as well as all 2010 models–features improved power consumption and meets the new, more stringent Energy Star 4.0 requirements. And you’ll get a long Plasma panel life of up to 100,000 hours–more than 30 years of viewing when watched 8 hours a day–before the brightness of the panel decreases to half. p/tdtd valign=topimg src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/Panasonic/panasonic-plasma_10-S2-hero-420.jpg” border=0 align=top width=420 height=330brbrsmallibPanasonic’s VIERA S2 series Plasma HDTV./b/i/small/td/tr/tableph2Key Features/h2table width=”100%” cellpadding=10trtd valign=toptable cellpadding=5trtd valign=top width=85 align=centerimg src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/Panasonic/panasonic-10viera-logo-neopdp.jpg” border=0 align=top width=80 height=47/tdtd valign=topstrongNeoPDP:/strong By redesigning the Plasma panel’s cell structure and developing an innovative new filter, Panasonic has tripled the luminous efficiency (compared to 2007 models) of its VIERA Plasma HDTVS–resulting in stunningly beautiful images while also reducing power consumption. p /p/td/trtrtd valign=top width=85 align=centerimg src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/Panasonic/panasonic-10viera-logo-1080p_moving.jpg” border=0 align=top width=80 height=49/tdtd valign=topstrong1080 Moving Picture Resolution:/strong With 1080 lines of moving picture resolution and integrated NeoPDP technology’s high-speed drive performance, the display time for each image frame is shortened to minimize afterimages, making decisive calls in football matches and delicate motions in figure skating performances appear crystal clear. p /p/td/trtrtd width=85 align=center valign=topimg src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/Panasonic/panasonic-10viera-logo-600hz.jpg” border=0 align=top width=80 height=30/tdtd valign=topstrong600Hz Sub-field Drive:/strong 600Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1080 lines of resolution. For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology, which converts the motion in each scene into data. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects (see an illustration of 600Hz technology). p /p/td/tr/table/tdtd valign=toptable cellpadding=5trtd valign=top width=85 align=centerimg src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/Panasonic/panasonic-10viera-logo-vieraimage.jpg” border=0 align=top width=80 height=106/tdtd valign=topstrongVIERA Image Viewer:/strong View full-HD images with the integrated SD card slot, enabling you to view JPEG photos captured from your digital camera or camcorder on the big screen.

rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. p If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. ulliMinimum size = Viewing distance/3/liliMaximum size=Viewing distance/1.5/li/ul/td/tr/tbody/table

Panasonic TC-P42S2 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV CustomerReview

I’ve owned this for 3 days now, and wanted to wait until I fully tested it to write a review. After seeing how it performs with videogames, blu-ray movies and basic cable, I feel I know the television enough to offer my thoughts.br /br /Picture quality: Incredible. Blacks are as deep as the bezel surrounding the TV. Colors are bold – everything you’d expect from a top of the line plasma. I own a 62″ DLP, a 26″ LCD, a 50″ panasonic 720p plasma and this plasma, and the plasmas are the only sets that really “pop.” This model is head and shoulders above even the 50″ 3-year-old model I own.br /br /Video game play: There’s a game mode, which bumps up the brightness and sharpness. It’s great for PS3 games. I’ve played Demon’s Souls and Wolfenstein on it so far, and both look amazing. The system touts “1080 lines of moving picture resolution” to help with motion blur. Honestly, I never felt plasmas had an issue with motion blur to begin with, so I’m not sure how much of a difference this feature is making, but from what I understand in doing research it helps to have it. br /br /Cable: HD looks good – even the reds aren’t blown out. Basic cable is standard definition – a thing on it’s way out anyway, lol.br /br /Aesthetics/connections: The TV is very sharp looking, and the anti-glare feature on the S model (as opposed to the U model) actually makes a difference. I rolled my eyes when I read the feature, but I’m watching it in the daytime in a well-lit room and the glare is really minimal. The only minor dissapointment is no VGA connection, but I’ll figure out a way around that. Was going to use VGA to hook up my 360 (since I’m using computer speakers for audio at the moment), but will go the component route now. By the way, a TON of controls and an HDMI input are on the side of the tv, making it very easy to get to.br /br /Burn-in/image retention/ghosting: Haven’t experienced any signs of even ghosting yet. Had my game on pause for a few minutes a couple times to test it.br /br /Audio: Haven’t tested the TV’s speakers, just using an external set of logitech speakers with subwoofer at the moment.br /br /Overall: For the price, I highly recommend the set. Like I said, I own 4 televisions of 3 different technologies and this one shows off the best picture. I have a collection of almost 800 blu-rays, and stay up to date on all the high-def news, etc… I do extensive research before purchasing a product, and actually went into this thinking I was going to give in and get an LED. I don’t want to get into an LED vs. Plasma thing here, but the LED’s are simply LCD with different lighting, and it brings all the inherent LCD problems with it. They make catch your eye in the store, but once you get home and get into your environment, it’s a different story. That said, this plasma in game mode gets the picture as close to LED as I’ve seen but with much better blacks.
