42-Inch Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ85U 1080p Plasma HDTV Latest Review

I lately decided that it is the time for upgrading to a Plasma HDTV and after doing loads of research, I finalized to buy the Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ85U 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV. I more than thrilled to own this TV, as the performance of this TV set is simply amazing be it the picture quality or sound quality. I run the Panasonic HDMI cables from Comcast HD DVR via my Denon 850 receiver and the color, vibrancy and clarity of channels the TV delivers are breathtaking.

The gallery player further enables to take pleasure in the world’s most finest high definition photography and art. I was surprised to see that the Panasonic Viera Plasma HDTV support xvYCC (YCC Colorimetry is for video applications) color profile or the x.v. color in short. Furthermore, the usual RGB space for color enables the portion of a TV display of colors, which are clearly viewable with the human eyes. This TV set with cutting edge technology and xvYCC space for color offers an accessible variety of colors, which exceeds than the range the human eye can experience.



In addition, the SD programming appears excellent over the set and the daytime TV viewing experience is incomparable. However, in the nighttime I face a bit problem when I switch on the light as it reflects back on the TV screen, thus looks better in night but with less light. The anti reflective TV screen of this unit does a great job.
The TV’s accurate color display and color space that supports more than 1.8 times colors and enables more vivid and natural colors makes this TV so far as one of the best Plasma HDTV's.
