Top 42″ HDTV Choice Recommendation by Reviewers
By Darco | February 8, 2008
Panasonic TH-42PZ700U- I know that with the plethora of HDTVs hitting the market, it is extremely difficult for a buyer to discern which particular HDTV is the one for him or her. Information overload does not help a buyer as well. We are inundated with so much technical details and jargon. Such statistics only serve to confuse than to discern.
What we have done here is to cut the chase by reviewing what reviewers have already reviewed. I think as lay people, we do not need to know the basic technical mumbo-jumbo. We just need to know what is the best in the eyes of the reviewers. We shall try to tone down on the technical stuff and tell you in a straight lay-person’s language.
Hence, we give you a summary of the best 42″ HDTV that is recommended by prominent reviewers. After much of our own research and reviewing, we have narrowed to one 42″ HDTV:
Reasons For Buying the Panasonic TH-42PZ700U 1. Top picture clarity and quality, especially its deep black levels and realistic shadow detail along with a clean image. In short, it wins hands down for picture quality!!!. This is without going into technical picture comparisons etc…but just human visual appreciation of the picture quality;
2. Top rating by some key top reviewers (I dont think they can be so wrong);
3. 81% of Amazon.com’s customers who viewed this product bought it!;
