Panasonic TC-P42S1 42" Viera S1 Series Plasma HDTV
- No Longer Available
Plasma is the display technology of choice among home video equipment reviewers. Panasonic has refined this flat-panel technology further with its Neo PDP (plasma display panel) technology combining full-time 1080 TV lines of moving picture resolution; a native 40,000:1 contrast ratio; an Infinite Black Panel; and an anti-reflective filter. Add to that a 600Hz sub-field drive for reproducing the fastest action that broadcasters can throw at it, and the TC-P42S1 is the TV to beat.
- 1080p Full-HD Resolution
- High Definition at its best. Subtle images are produced in detail. A great match for a Blu-ray Disc player.
- Neo PDP
- With a native contrast ratio of 40,000:1, this plasma display panel paints appropriate portions of the picture black -- not a murky gray.
- Keeps Up With All the Action
- Featuring a 600Hz sub-field drive, the TC-P42S1 reacts in time to deliver a crisp image even during fast moving scenes.
- SD Slot for Slideshows and High-Def Home Video Play
- Transfer an SD card from your camera and play a slide show of your JPEG images directly on the TC-P42S1.

Having just recently purchased the product, I am still in the exploratory phase of what it can do. From what I have discovered thus far, this product has a lot of capability for a reasonable price.

Comments about Panasonic TC-P42S1 42" Viera S1 Series Plasma HDTV:
[...] It was easy to hook up since we use the TV as a monitor plugged into the stereo system. The picture is very good, expecially in the letterbox mode (zoom). Glare is minimal. My only complaint isn't with set but with broadcasters. With ownership of flat screen TVs increasing, more programs should use the letterbox format.

Comments about Panasonic TC-P42S1 42" Viera S1 Series Plasma HDTV:
I use this TV most for movies and video games and the picture quality is wonderful. Easy set up. Although I use other speakers for sound, the TV speakers have a decent sound alone. The only thing missing is a base that swivels. My last TV did this and it was very convenient. Overall a great TV.
