I looked at a number of TV's in shops (most of which looked dreadful due to the poor quality of the lighting in the shop or perhaps the quality of the feed they were given to display) and read lots and lots of reviews before deciding to buy the Panasonic TX-P42S10B. I am so pleased that I did buy it, as the quality of the picture is breathtaking. Sound quality from the built in speakers is excellent, but for me a TV is all about the picture quality and everytime I look at it I am taken aback by the sheer brilliance of it.

Buy one. You will not be disappointed.

I bought this from a local store for a knock down price on a special offer. It is a brilliant television and of all the sets I researched, this one is packed with features and priced very reasonably.

It weighs 25kg which means its not a beast to mount on the wall. It has so many features: full HD, 2m:1 contrasts ratio, 400Hz picture, SD card port, 3 x HDMI, scart connectors, S-video, Divx/jpg/mpg playback.... and if you buy a Panasonic BD-player, you can control it from one remote!

Its finish is a stylish black front which can polish up to look irresistible. The stand which comes with it, while basic, is perfect for placing your TV on a cabinet or TV unit.

Highly recommended!!

I have had this TV for two weeks and I am still finding out little extras the most novel is a SD card reader it's great just take your SD card out of your camera slip it into the tv and presto a slideshow of your snaps. I have HD but even standard definition is excellent.

Have had the TV just over a month now and have been really pleased with it. I did plenty of research befroe buying and spoke to a few guys in the shops who all said that the Panasonic was a great TV. The sound is great and thats without any extra surround sounds. THe blacks are deep and the picture clear, I have had a few problems with picture quality but this is more down to poor reception than anything else.

Also very quick delivery so very happy with everything.

How things have moved on in recent years! I can't believe how quiet this TV is in operation, compared to my old Hitachi plasma which had a very noisy fan whirring away all of the time. The Picture quality simply cannot be faulted, running Blu Ray movies through a HDMI cable from my Playstation 3 means it's about as good as it gets. My only gripes are very minor ones; the connector panel is on the back of the unit, meaning once it's installed on a wall bracket, it can be hard to access all of the inputs and outputs, and the shiny 'piano black' finish means it shows up fingerprints and dust very easily, you'll want to keep this beauty pristine! Sound quality is acceptable, but stereo output sockets and a digital optical output mean you can easily link it to your Hi-Fi or home cinema system. Top marks to Panasonic yet again and excellent service from Amazon to get it delivered so promptly!
