Panasonic TC-P42S30, Amazing Plasma HDTV With All The Best Price
I am the ecstatic owner from a Panasonic TC-L32X2 32-Inch 720p LCD HIGHER DEFINITION TV with iPod Dock, so when it came time to move up to a 42″ set for the living room (and move the 32″ for the bedroom to replace the 27″ cylinder TV), I mostly confined my seek out to Panasonic. I had considered the last version of this Panasonic TC-P42S30 mainly because it was highly rated on Amazon, and also slightly less expensive, but I decided i would take a chance on the newer model–even though it’s so new that it has no ratings or reviews. (As of 3/27/11, however, this unit is less pricey. )
I ordered this TC-P42S30 with a Saturday and received it via shipping and delivery truck on Wednesday. Setup was easy (it is pretty heavy, though). I was pleasantly surprised to noticed that it supports Internet connectivity (although it wasn’t something I needed, the concept has really grown at me), but less pleasantly surprised to know that the wireless dongle (Panasonic DY-WL10 Wireless LAN Adapter for select Panasonic Viera HDTVs in addition to Blu-Ray Disc Players) is another $99. For any much, I think I’ll run a LAN cable. [I did; see underneath. ] I’m using the three HDMI shipping for my Verizon FIOS set prime box, Apple TV 2, and JVC XVBP11 Blu-ray Gambler. A set of RCA audio/video inputs provides my Pioneer laserdisc player. (Yeah, So i am old school. ) I don’t foresee while using SD card slot for anything however , firmware updates, but I like having USB ports so we are able to watch our Flip movies in full HD glory–once I understand how to do it, that is.
I was very happy with my LCD TV even in the course of the day; maybe that’s why I never realized just how bright our living room is. The 1st time I tried to watch this TV from couch, the reflection from the skylight was terrible. Around noon, the glare ended up being nearly unbearable.
In late afternoon/full black, this Panasonic TC-P42S30 looks fantastic. It’s so excellent, in fact, that I couldn’t tear myself off from 2 Fast 2 Furious, which says a whole lot. The problem is that I do most of my viewing during the day, so I’m not sure that it will work for me over time. I’ll have to give it some more days. The preset color modes will not be perfect, but they’re fairly accurate right right out of the box. Both Netflix and iTunes movies streamed throughout the Apple TV look great. When I have some time I’ll run Video Essentials to acquire the levels dialed in.
