Panasonic VIERA U1 Series TC-P42U1 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV CustomerReview
I recently graduated back in May, with an A.S. in Broadcast production and was looking for a good solid TV for entertainment, but also for work as well.br /br /I wanted a larger TV as well, because i’m visually impaired, so anything lower then 32″ is uncomfortable to watch from a distance, even 32″ can be pushing it from a distance.br /br /Anyway, I didn’t have a large budget to work with just the money I got back from the school left over from the pell grant. I went to best buy and I had intended to buy a 42 or 46 LCD but after talking to the sales person he recommended plasma as it’s much more true to life reproduction of color and contrast. I”m not new to display technologies, i’m just fairly new to flat panels and HD. I am someone who is used to looking at a CRT. Until HD was born, they were the best display to reproduce content in it’s entirety.br /br /This was the ONLY 1080p plasma TV best buy had in stock at the time, it fit the budget the size is almost too big for the studio apt i live in. 42″ is actually just perfect for the living room. any bigger would have been overkill. This TV was purchased February 24th, 2010, so I’m reviewing it after several months of use.br /br /Now for the review of this TV:br /First of all, out of the box, this TV needs to be Calibrated for best performance, The standard setting is way too dim, also the color is slightly unbalanced, milage may vary depending on your set. After I calibrated the set, which included both tweaking user menu and service menu settings the picture is fantastic. I have no complaints over color, contrast or black levels now. Black is black white is white, and other colors are reproduced very nicely. I will make a note here, the content source also makes a very big difference as to how the TV display looks, not all sources are equal. For example, if you have an old source (SD) the colors can be way off, or it’s otherwise distorted and looks horrible, or you may have an SD source that looks great, same with HD, it comes down to how was the video processed before you got it how well was the source preserved (older content) is your display properly calibrated, etc. One more note on this topic, HD displays tend to bring out content defects more as they are designed to show detail. Problem is the detail isn’t something the viewer always wants to see.br /br /Other parts of this TV review include, a good choice of inputs 3HDMI, 2 composite, 2component 1 s-video noVGA, but i use a dvi to hdmi adapter if i want to connect the laptop, which works extremely well.br /br /For best reproduction of HD content use HD size 2 in the settings this turns off overscan so your content is displayed without being cropped off.br /After almost 4 months of use, I had the stock power board go out in this unit, I had it repaired under warranty with no problems. I’ve been using it just about 3 months now since the repair and the set has worked beautifully. The repair was done on july 14th, 2010, it’s now October 24th, 2010. Early failure doesn’t change my review or view of products, as long as the warranty is honored. Working with electronics, you just learn to expect the unexpected. I did however make some changes to my setup, I took the single power strip i was using for the TV, blu-ray player, etc and stuck it through my ups on the surge protection only side as it has a very good line conditioner and noise filter and a few other things for protection against spikes and other power issues.br /br /Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the purchase. Many people like the s series and G series and V Series of plasmas. But really don’t need the G series i have the blu-ray for vieracast, also i’ve heard the other models with exception of the s series either doesn’t have the smaller model sizes or they’re hard to find. As far as the AR filter that’s a moot point for me, the tv isn’t facing any windows and it’s as simple as keeping the lights off during tv watching. When it comes to 3D i’m still not comfortable with investing in a 3D tv until i’m sure the 3d effect won’t aggravate seizure activity in someone who has a history. So in closing this TV seems to be the perfect fit for a living room TV in a small apartment.
