Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-P42S1 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV Reviewed by Aran Wiener (CT)
Satisfied Rating (2/10)
Probably not the best person to look for in a TV series, the other only because I know very well with the 25-year-old in September this RCA replaced.
However, I am very pleased with the decision. The image is very strong and clear, and there are many opportunities for input. I managed to create three different RSS feeds on TV from a cable box, a DVD player and a jump from an antenna. All work well.
If you have an old style television set that you just turn on and off and change channels are used to (like me), this can cause a variety of other options, as with Suppose we know something, you can choose between multiple inputs and select If you used the image to a normal size, increases or decreases.
This is really my only quibble, though I'm not sure if the TV debt or what I would be able to make an image that so much of screen real estate as possible, without forcing Get every way, and some configurations, just does not seem possible. Nor is there wasted space around all four sides, or is scaled so that the edges of images from the screen.
But overall I am very satisfied with the quality and the price very satisfied.

| Review by J. Dunlap (USA) 2010-07-26 The Sony EX700 is a great TV, beautiful picture and somewhat easy to setup and operate. The only thing that I find not up to speed is that no Manual is provided. A small folder on setting up the TV is included. After the TV is set up and running you can access a so called manual on the... Read more reviews | ||
