The Following Review By: Scott Stewart


Panasonic has proven itself to be the hardest-punching heavyweight among plasma-TV makers, and this year it fights its title bout against itself. In one corner there's the industrial lineup, typified by the TH-PD7UY series and our favorite 42-inch model, the TH-42PHD7UY. In the other corner there's the consumer lineup, represented in 2005 by the TH-PX50U series and the model under review here, the TH-42PX50U ($3,000 MSRP).

In a nutshell, the industrial models are all picture, and the consumer models make you pay a few hundred extra bucks for features such as, say, speakers, a tuner, and all the inputs you need. After evaluating the TH-42PX50U, we still recommend the industrial models if you're just looking for the best picture you can get for the least amount of money, but the bout does go down to the wire.

The TH-42PX50U is a solid performer in just about every performance aspect, and while it lacks some of the features and the connections found on more expensive models such as the TH-42PX500U and Pioneer's PDP-4350HD, it's a great bargain if you want speakers to go with your picture.

The look of the Panasonic TH-42PX50U is reasonably attractive and unobtrusive. A black bezel surrounds the screen--something we're happy to see a lot more of, since black around the screen adds to the perceived contrast ratio of the picture and aids in improving real-world performance.

Measuring roughly 42 by 28 by 4 inches without the included 12.5-inch-deep stand, the Panasonic TH-42PX50U is ideal for wall mounting if you want to install it on an optional bracket. It weighs 76 pounds, however, so we recommend you consult a professional installer for help.
