    Can't be beat for the price

    "I bought this tv about 5 months ago during the Father's Day sale for 599.99. I wanted to wait a few months prior to writing a review as I personally don't find much value with reviews written about products that were just purchased as it will almost always seem great when you get it home. I'm pleased to say that after 5 months I have had no problems what so ever. This TV has a great picture. My TV service is thr..." Read Full Review »

    Good Value

    "I bought this TV a few weeks ago and am still getting accustomed to its features and quirks. It is a second large screen TV in my home, placed in the bedroom. Granted, it is large for a bedroom, but our viewing distance to the TV warrants a larger image. This TV came home with me because of the combination of reviews here and on Consumer Reports, and the price point. Despite these good things going for it, r..." Read Full Review »

    Antenna Users Beware!

    "I got my TC-P42X1 a week ago and I found it has one very major drawback for antenna users. Each time you scan for channels, it erases what was previously scanned, so if you have peripheral channels in several directions, you either have to rescan each time you rotate your antenna, or just pick the d …"  Read Full Review »

    "From what I've read any number of times, the naked eye cannot detect any difference in picture quality between 720p and 1080p for a TV that is 42 inches or smaller. That's a major reason I bought this model; it's cheaper than a 1080p but the picture is the same. Also, it fit the wall mount for the P …"  Read Full Review »
