5 out of 5 stars Stunning performer   February 12, 2010
K. Garton
Had this plasma now for 2 weeks and can highly recommend. Compared with my previous Panasonic 37" plasma this latest model is far superior. It is also much lighter and easier to lift and manoeuvre. As for installation it is such a simple task I would not want to be paying someone ~ £100.
Anyone looking to upgrade or buy a new TV will not be disappointed if purchasing this model or indeed the TX-P42G10



5 out of 5 stars More than I expected!   February 7, 2010
P. Mendola
Finally decided to upgrade my old TV to this Panasonic TX-P42G15B 42 inch HD TV,
Happy to report arrived well packaged and on time.
The TV itself not only looks good but has lots of features that i'm still exploring,
The HD broadcasts though the Freesat connection are amazing.(satellite dish required)
The SD card slot is useful for viewing photo's.The Viera cast is simple to set up,
with a cable from the TV to a router you're able view some internet content like You Tube ,Eurosport video news reports,general financial news with Bloomberg TV text.
To summarise, easy to set up,user friendly remote,most of all a great HD quality picture on
HD content,the only negative is not too much free to air HD broadcasts as yet!But should
improve in time.Even ordinary digital channels look good, but you do notice the difference
with full HD quality.
Hope you find this review useful!



5 out of 5 stars Panasonic delivers again   January 31, 2010

Ordered the 42" Neo PDP Plasma from Panasonic after checking Which reviews where their latest range fills the top 5 best buy spots.
Set the screen up without any drama, running in my Panasonic DVD HDD Recorder on the HDMI, Virgin Media box on the Scart and Nintendo Wii on the other scart.
The set replaced an old 32" Panasonic CRT, which served us well, but with a new house purchase in process and VAT heading back up to 17.5% the timing was right for an upgrade.

The picture and sound is lovely. Easy to set up to personal preferences and everything works intuitively and sensibly. The Viera link to the HDD Recorder is cool too and allows you to do away with the DVD remote control and run everything through the TV.

Sound was improved by connecting up my DTS / Pro logic amp and 5.1 sound system using the TV's optical output and DTS movies on DVD now rock the walls of the house.

Picture is smooth and deep. Colours are vivid - especially noticeable on CBeebies, when the 2 year old is watching. Movies have a pseudo 3D quality with this size screen too, although I could have got away with a 38" if one were available.

Went for the LAN enabled set too, which shows promise although is nothing but a gimmick right now - Viera cast needs more content. Will be setting up the Freesat once it gets re-installed in the new house next month.

Another cracking job from Panasonic.



5 out of 5 stars very nice TV   January 31, 2010
M. Lewis (West Berkshire UK)
I bought this about a month ago. Set-up was a doddle. Sound very good - even without 5.1 cinema etc. One thing that is a bit strange is that the picture warps on some programmes. I put this down to using an ordinary terrestrial aerial. I haven't got around to installing a dish yet - so if you buy this TV I suggest buying a dish at the same time. All in all I'm very pleased with it.


4 out of 5 stars As good at the price as the technology allows   January 21, 2010

Plasma and LCD/LED HDTV have possibly been the most over-hyped and over-sold technology of the century. At best the performance is only on a par with a decent CRT set, and anything less (more than typical)is garbage.
Having said all that the Panasonic TX-P42G15B is about as good as you can buy at the price (and actually somewhat higher.)
The picture on full HD e.g BD and games is very impressive with pretty natural colours and little motion blur. It does look a little soft compared to some LCD/LED sets e.g the latest Samsungs but they are very much more expensive, and have significant input lag if you are a gamer. (This set has no input lag whatsover).
Do not believe the hype about motion blur being elimitated on this or any other set. It is minimal but there is still something simply unnatural and not quite fluid about movement (esp pans) on digital TVs at the current time. This plasma is however better than any LCD set I've seen.
I think that the network connectivity is worth the extra money over the G10 given the small premium at current prices. Viera cast is pretty limited at the moment, and its likly that content will improve over time.
I cannot comment on the various inbuilt tuners' abilities as I do not watch broadcast TV.
Recommended?. Yes with reservations :-
- The price has dropped significantly making the set better value. I would be less happy at its original/full price.
- Not much out there that is better esp at the current price.
- I dont think any digital TV technology delivers what it promises but this set does it better than most.
-

UPdate - Just a warning about many of the reviews for these TVs. There are very many 5* reviews by "reviewers" who have no other reviews to their name. Panasonic seems to suffer hugely from these "shill" reviews so just dont take all the glowing 5* at face value.
