Panasonic VIERA TC-P42G15
$1,400.00
Released March, 2009
The Pros:Colors are very accurate and true to life. Black levels are extremely dark, don't wash out into greys. Capable of a very bright picture, will work in any lighting.
The Cons:Sound is a bit washed out, noticeable when watching movies or music. Some flickering is noticeable in True Cinema 24-frame mode. Remote is a little confusing, takes some getting used to.
