Customer Reviews: Panasonic TX-P42X60B 42-inch Freeview HD Ready Plasma TV (New for 2013)

I have had three Panasonic HD Ready models since 2007, of varying sizes and specifications. This 50" model and its smaller 42" sibling represent Panasonic's 2013 bargain basement range and without doubt this is definitely a bargain.
I am not going to attempt to review this TV by reproducing specifications that can be found freely online or by writing the words of others. What I will say is that this is the best picture quality I have seen from any budget Panasonic and to be quite honest, I cannot imagine there being a better all-round TV, anywhere at this price point. The picture quality is a joy and the colours are particularly pleasing. The blacks are most definitely black and sharpness is in abundance, especially on the HD channels.
The TX-P50X50B received a 5 star review from What Hi*Fi and this set is basically the same but with some apparent "engine" improvements borrowed from the more expensive models. Panasonic however, appeared to have saved some pennies by removing the SD Card reader that can be found in the TX-P50X50B, a decision that does not impact on my usage in any way, as the USB option is still available.
What I find incredible about Plasmas nowadays, is the how light they are, how much thinner they are and how much better they are in terms of power usage.
All in all, at the time of writing, the best £450 TV around.

This TV is superb. The picture quality is extremely high with the blacks being just that. The contrast is sharp and when viewed from 6 feet to 20 feet the picture is sharp and well defined as you would expect from a plasma screen. The sound is as good as you will get out of a TV. Set up is easy and automatic.
The only downside is that there is only one SCART socket so if you have two older pieces of equipment to connect up you will need a splitter box.

I have to admit to being somewhat worried that I would be underwhelmed with the picture quality on this 42" set given that it was not full HD, but only 720P. I watch a lot of HD content, from BlueRay to streaming, and from fairly close quarters. I was, however, looking for a cheap set as a temporary stop gap until I can afford a new Panasonic plasma later this year (after my last TV died).
All I can say is that I should not have worried. I read lots of reviews up front, all praising this set, and I can wholeheartedly agree. Smart functions were not important to me as I have all I need through my XBOX and Media Streamer, so I was after decent picture quality and good black levels. This TV did not disappoint. In fact, I am very, very impressed. It really does have a fabulous picture, to the point where i'm now wondering if upgrading to 1080P is even worth the money! (might wait for 4K instead... :-)
In short, you simply WILL NOT find a better picture for this price. It's an absolute steal. Buy one before they are all gone!

We bought this set through Amazon Warehouse deals for only £360. Amazing value. Excellent picture and much better sound than our previous LED TV. The scale of the 50 inch model makes it feel as if you are really there when watching sports or films. We definitely recommend this set.

Not everyone wants or needs a Smart TV and this means that the quality of a Plasma screen like this is really great valu. A quality picture with enough connectivity for our needs

Everything as advertised. Picture excellent and even sound good. A good basic TV that is quite hard to distinguish from "true" 1080p sets. HD looks great and definitely better than standard! And simply tremendous value.
